• Density & Porosity: High density with low porosity, contributing to its strength and durability.

Applications

Interior Spaces

• Wall Cladding: Ideal for internal walls, lobbies, and both residential and commercial interiors due to its bright, glossy appearance.
• Flooring: Suitable for office and residential floors because of its durability and low water absorption.
• Countertops & Cabinet Surfaces: Well-suited for kitchen and bathroom countertops due to its polished surface and moisture resistance.
• Fireplaces & Decorative Frames: Perfect for Bookmatch and Fourmatch installations thanks to its natural veining and aesthetic appeal.

Exterior Spaces

• Building Façades: Can be used externally; however, in cold climates, it requires proper care and maintenance.
• Bookmatch & Fourmatch Panels: Ideal for decorative cladding inside and out due to its natural symmetrical patterns.

Advantages

• High aesthetic appeal with brilliant shine and unique veining.
• Excellent compressive and abrasion resistance, suitable for high-traffic areas.
• Very low water absorption, ideal for wet and hygienic environments.
• Superior polishability, producing a glossy, luxurious finish.

Disadvantages

• In cold climates, outdoor use demands proper maintenance and care.
• Due to its smooth back surface, metal anchors (clamps or S-hooks) must be used for better adhesion in façades.

Important Notes

• When used as exterior cladding, especially in cold regions, regular inspection and maintenance are recommended.
• Due to its low porosity and smooth backside, proper mechanical anchoring (e.g., S-hooks) is essential to ensure secure installation.
