Finish & Texture Customization
Choose from four distinct finishes to match your design vision:
- Polished Finish: High-gloss, reflective surface that enhances the natural pink, white, and grey veining
- Honed Finish: Matte, non-reflective surface with a soft touch, less prone to fingerprints
- Leathered Finish: Textured, rustic look with a diamond-brushed technique that adds depth and character – ideal for natural stone, hiding smudges and fingerprints
- Satin Finish: Soft sheen between polished and honed, easy to maintain
Edge Profile Options
Select from a range of edge profiles to complement your style:
- Square Edge: Clean, modern look emphasizing the material
- Beveled Edge: Slight angle cut, softens edges with contemporary appeal
- Bullnose Edge: Rounded, softer traditional touch
- Eased Edge: Subtle rounding for a smooth finish
- Ogee Edge: Decorative S-shaped curve for traditional or ornate designs
- Waterfall Edge: Side slab laminated with the island top for a seamless, flowing look
Key Considerations for Natural Stone
Durability & Care
- Strength: Norwegian Rose marble is naturally durable, but sealing is recommended to protect against stains and etching
- Maintenance: Leathered finish hides fingerprints and smudges well; clean regularly with mild soap and water
- Heat Resistance: Marble is heat-resistant, but always use trivets for hot pans to avoid thermal shock
Uniqueness
Each slab features distinct veining and color variations – no two pieces are identical, ensuring your countertop is one-of-a-kind
Cost
- 2cm thickness: Budget-friendly option
- 3cm thickness: Premium sturdiness
Quality Assurance
Our production manager personally oversees every step:
