Quality Assurance
Color and Veining Consistency
- Each slab is inspected for the signature light gray background with subtle dark gray to black veins.
- Veining patterns are matched to approved samples to ensure a cohesive look across benchtops.
- Rejection criteria: Any excessive yellow or brown tints that indicate impurities.
Porosity and Density
- Porosity tested via water droplet: quality slabs show minimal absorption within 5 minutes, preventing staining from spills like wine or oil.
- Rejection criteria: Visible pitting or open fissures that trap moisture and weaken the surface.
Structural Integrity
- Slabs examined for hairline cracks or micro-fractures using a light test to ensure no hidden flaws that could expand under heat or pressure.
- Leathered finish checked for uniform texture; rough spots or uneven areas are flagged.
Thickness and Flatness
- Precise measurement to specified thickness (20 mm, 30 mm, or 40 mm).
- Flatness confirmed with a straightedge to avoid warped slabs that cause installation issues.
Origin and Quarry Selection
- Exclusive sourcing from trusted Italian quarries with certificates of origin.
- Rejection criteria: Signs of artificial coloring or resin fillers, which degrade over time.
Care and Maintenance
Sealing
Recommended to seal annually to protect against stains from acidic substances like citrus or wine.
Cleaning
Use mild soap and water; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners. Leathered finish is easier to maintain than polished marble due to less visible smudges and fingerprints.
Durability
Heat-resistant but may require sealing to prevent staining; leathered finish offers added protection. Complies with Australian standards for natural stone; no silica-free restrictions apply.
