Rainbow - quartzite of natural origin

Technical characteristics of the Arcobaleno

Geologically, it is a metamorphic rock with a predominantly silicate composition (formed by the high-pressure and high-temperature recrystallization of quartz-rich sandstones). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no carbonate components, it does not react to food or household acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or common detergents) and is not subject to acid attack opacification. It has a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, trampling and thermal shock, combined with a very low liquid absorption rate. Due to the complex crystalline textures, the slabs are often subjected to classical vacuum resin processes.

Applications in design

– luxury kitchen tops and countertops: a prominent scenic choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to its absolute immunity to food acids and high mechanical and thermal resistance.

– bookmatch compositions: the broad chromatic movement of the multicolored veins lends itself magnificently to the mirrored pose for the creation of wall scenes of imposing pictorial impact.

– accent walls and prestige cladding: perfect for stone wood paneling, accent walls in salons, state lobbies, boutiques and high-end hotels.

– bathroom and vanity top rooms: widely used for refined vanity tops, shower areas and dramatic wall coverings in wellness rooms and exclusive bathrooms.
