Rosso Rubino- red marble of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Ruby Red

Geologically it is a metamorphic/sedimentary rock with a predominantly carbonate (calcite) composition. Being a strictly carbonate matrix material, it is highly sensitive to food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices and anti-limescale detergents) and is subject to immediate clouding or corrosion when exposed to acidic substances. It has excellent compactness and good mechanical strength properties; nevertheless, the presence of natural veined branches makes the usual vacuum resin and back screening treatments appropriate during sheet processing.

Applications in design

– vertical elyte flooring and cladding: an excellent choice for creating interior flooring, skirting, cornices, and wall cladding in fine residences, luxury hotels, and high-end boutiques.

– bookmatch compositions: the strong definition of the light veined lattice on the dark ruby background enhances its mirrored pose for scenographic accent walls in salons and state lobbies.

– bathroom and vanity top rooms: widely used for refined vanity tops, shower walls and bathtub liners (after applying suitable stain-resistant protective treatments).

– architectural and interior design elements: perfect for creating tops for dining tables, consoles, monumental portals, art inlays, and classic and contemporary fireplace surrounds.
