Breccia S. Agata - red marble of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Breccia S. Agate

Geologically it is a metamorphosed sedimentary rock with a predominantly carbonate matrix (brecciated marble). As a carbonate material, it is highly sensitive to food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, and harsh anti-limescale cleaners) that can cause it to become cloudy or corrode on the surface. Its typical breccia structure exhibits natural heterogeneity and hardness variability; for this reason, it requires careful resin and consolidation processes during the sawing and sheet processing phases. To preserve color integrity and prevent stain absorption indoors, it requires the application of suitable hydro-oleorepellent protective treatments. It expresses itself to its maximum potential with mirror polishing, sanding and brushed finish.

Applications in design

– accent walls and bookmatch compositions: the contrast between the warm matrix and the light clasts makes this material exceptional for mirrored posing on scenic walls of salons, reception and hotel lobbies.

– luxury interior flooring and siding: Used to create ornamental flooring, marble center rugs, edging, and accent walls in high-end residential and contract settings.

– fireplace surrounds and furnishings: ideal for sculpting classic or contemporary fireplaces, consoles, smoking table tops, and custom-made accessories.

– bathroom and vanity top rooms: used for vertical cladding, niches and washbasins with a strong personality
