Material & Specifications
- ◆ Natural Stone: Genuine Chinese Palissandro Blue marble, featuring unique blue tones and subtle veining for a distinctive, elegant appearance.
- ◆ Standard Thickness: 20 mm (approx. 3/4 inch) – provides robust support without excessive bulk, ideal for most window sill applications.
- ◆ Prefabricated Sizes: Common lengths cut to match standard window widths; depths typically range from 10 cm to 20 cm (4 to 8 inches). Custom lengths and dimensions available upon request.
Surface Finishing Options
- ◆ Polished: High-gloss finish that enhances natural blue veining and color. Offers a sleek, elegant look with improved stain resistance.
- ◆ Honed: Matte, smooth surface that reduces glare and hides minor scratches. Provides a subtle, natural appearance.
- ◆ Flamed or Brushed: Textured finish increases slip resistance and masks wear, recommended for high-traffic or outdoor areas.
Key Considerations for Natural Stone
Durability
Marble is strong but can be prone to etching from acidic substances. Sealing is recommended to protect the surface and extend lifespan.
Color Variation
Each slab is unique; expect natural variations in blue tones, veining, and patterns. No two pieces are identical, adding character to your space.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning with pH-neutral products; avoid harsh chemicals. Resealing every 1-2 years helps maintain appearance and protection.
Installation
Professional installation recommended to ensure proper fit and support. Prefabricated sizes simplify the process for DIY enthusiasts with experience.
Customization Options
- ◆ Edge Profiles: Available in standard square, eased, or bullnose edges to match your design preference.
- ◆ Cutouts: Can be made for specific window frame dimensions. Please provide exact measurements for a perfect fit.
