-Anemon-
Description & Features
Anemon comes from Belenco's Classic series, which the manufacturer presents as a timeless choice with a rich range of tones and textures. Belenco, a member of the Korean LOTTE group, produces its slabs in the Manisa Organised Industrial Zone in Turkey on Breton equipment. The surface is dominated by a soft grey-white with milky, cloudy areas; over it spreads a dense web of fine, darker grey veins that branch irregularly in every direction, giving the feel of natural Carrara marble with gentle contrast. Belenco's data give water absorption of 0.04% (class W4), flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa, compressive strength of about 230 MPa and density of 2.3–2.4 g/cm³, while abrasion resistance is rated class A4. Slabs are made in Extra 152 × 310 cm and Jumbo 165 × 330 cm sizes and in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses; Anemon is offered polished. It is suitable for kitchen countertops, islands, bathroom vanity tops, splashbacks, stairs and interior floors. For care, a damp cotton cloth with a little neutral liquid soap is enough; hot cookware always needs a trivet, and solvents or strong acids should be kept away from the surface.

- 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.
