-Alinda-
Description & Features
Among the light-coloured designs of the Classic series – a series Belenco describes as timeless, with rich shades and textures for every style – Alinda stands out for its warm, golden touches. The photo of the polished slab shows a light cream to off-white background with a soft, milky movement, on which fine, short and sinuous veins in a golden-brown to caramel tone are drawn, sparsely and irregularly distributed; the gloss reflects the light and makes the colour look even brighter. It is produced in Manisa with Bretonstone technology at the Lotte Chemical plant and needs no sealing, since water absorption is just 0.04%; flexural strength exceeds 40 MPa (F4) and abrasion resistance is class A4. For large pieces there are Jumbo 165 × 330 cm slabs as well as Extra 152 × 310 cm ones, in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses. It is recommended for kitchen countertops and islands, bathroom vanity tops and cladding, splashbacks, stairs and interior floors, wherever a warm, light-coloured scheme is wanted. Maintenance only needs a damp cloth with a mild neutral cleaner (pH 5–8.5); hot cookware goes on a trivet and strong acids or alkalis are avoided.

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Alinda to stone importers, fabricators, architects and hotel projects outside Greece. From our facility in Thessaloniki we handle the whole order in-house:
- Slab selection and matching – we grade and match the slabs for colour and veining, so a large order stays uniform across the whole project.
- Cut-to-size and finishing – pieces cut, edged and finished to your drawings, numbered per room or elevation and ready to install.
- Mixed shipments – Greek marbles, granites, porous limestone (porolithos) and quartz surfaces can be combined in one order.
- Export packing – crated and labelled for sea or road freight, ex-works Thessaloniki; delivered terms quoted on request.
Send us your drawings or quantities and we will come back with a quotation and availability.
