Application Guidelines

  • Usage Areas: Ideal for high-traffic flooring, wall cladding, stairs, and decorative elements. Its density makes it suitable for bathroom vanity tops and kitchen countertops when properly sealed.
  • Finish Options: Available in Polished, Honed, Brushed (Antique), and Sandblasted finishes.
  • Maintenance: As a calcitic marble, it is sensitive to acidic substances. Neutral pH cleaners are recommended to preserve the surface finish and structural integrity.

Note: The values provided above are average laboratory results. Natural stones are subject to geological variations, and specific block testing is recommended for large-scale architectural projects.
