Dimensional Specifications

Standard Tile Formats

• Standard Thickness: 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm

Ultra-Thin “Tech-Lite” Series

Engineered for custom furniture integration and weight-sensitive architectural tile applications.

• Veneer Thickness: 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm

• System Density: ~14 kg/m² (total weight varies based on substrate)

• Substrate Compatibility: Tempered Glass, Marine Plywood, Honeycomb Aluminum, or MDF.

Application & Installation Guidelines

• Interior Flooring & Walls: Highly suitable for high-traffic residential and medium-traffic commercial floor tiling.

• Wet Areas: Applicable for tiled vanities and showers; strictly requires high-quality penetrating sealers to prevent water absorption and staining of the white calcite base.

• Furniture Integration: The 0.3 mm veneer is recommended for cabinetry faces and door panels to maintain structural integrity without requiring heavy-duty hinges.

• Exterior Cladding: Recommended for ventilated facade systems. Due to the presence of colorful mineral veins, UV-stable sealants are advised to maintain color vibrancy over time.

Maintenance & Care

Note: Calacatta Viola is a calcitic stone and is sensitive to acidic substances (such as lemon juice, wine, or vinegar).

• Sealing: Must be treated with a premium oleophobic and hydrophobic sealer prior to grouting and regular use.

• Cleaning: Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid abrasive pads or acidic detergents which will dull the polished tile finish.

• Refinishing: Standard 2 cm and 3 cm tiles can be re-polished in situ to restore their original luster after years of use.

Sustainability & Certifications

• VOC Emissions: Zero (Natural Stone)

• Recyclability: 100% Recyclable

• LEED Contribution: May contribute to regional material and low-emitting material credits.
