01 / Where to use it

Where to use it

Interior decorative panels, backlit where suitable.

Flooring, cladding and architectural details are possible applications to assess for the specific supply. For outdoors, stairs, pool surrounds and vehicle traffic, agree thickness, finish and installation with the designer.

02 / Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance

Remove sand and dirt with soft tools. Use a stone-compatible neutral cleaner, rinse and test treatments in an inconspicuous place. An impregnator can reduce absorption but cannot make the surface stain-proof.

Carbonate materials are acid-sensitive: avoid descalers, vinegar and lemon juice. Never infer chemical resistance from a trade name alone.

03 / Good to know

Good to know

Forms through accumulation or precipitation and transformation of sediments.
