Usage Recommendations

  • Interior Applications: Ideal for large-scale flooring, bathroom vanities, and decorative wall panels due to its low water absorption and high compressive strength.
  • Commercial Use: Suitable for high-traffic areas; however, periodic sealing is recommended to maintain its luster against abrasion.
  • Freeze-Thaw Resistance: The minimal loss in compressive strength after freezing indicates reliable performance in climate-controlled environments and many exterior cladding scenarios.

Note: As Aegean Silver is a natural product, slight variations in color, veining, and technical values may occur between different quarry blocks. It is recommended to perform a dry-lay inspection prior to final installation.
