• Wet Areas: Applicable for vanities and showers; requires high-quality penetrating sealers to prevent staining of the white calcite base.
• Furniture: The 0.3 mm veneer is recommended for cabinetry faces and door panels to maintain structural integrity without the need for heavy-duty hinges.

Exterior Use
