Sarrancolin - red marble of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Sarrancolin

Geologically it is a metamorphic/sedimentary rock (brecciated limestone with very high aesthetic value) with a predominantly carbonate composition (calcite). 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 good structural compactness; however, the complex and heterogeneous brecciated texture makes traditional vacuum resin and back-screening treatments essential during sheet processing to ensure perfect mechanical stability.

Applications in design

– highly prestigious vertical flooring and cladding: an excellent choice for the creation of interior flooring, skirting, cornices, and wall cladding in historic residences, period buildings, and luxury hotels.

– bookmatch compositions: the majestic brecciated and multicolored texture finds its maximum expression in the mirrored pose for scenographic walls with strong artistic and visual impact.

– designer bathroom and vanity top rooms: highly appreciated for scenic vanity tops, shower walls and bathtub linings (subject to the application of suitable stain-resistant protective treatments).

– furnishing elements and monumental architecture: perfect for creating tops for dining tables, consoles, portals, columns, art inlays, altars and historic stylistic fireplace coverings.
