-Babilon Seta-
Description & Features
Babilon Seta is the matt version of Babilon, with the same colour code 4558, and is part of the Seta Collection, where Belenco gathers the colours it also offers without gloss. In the photo of a full slab, the matt surface gives a softer grey-charcoal image, with a fine, speckled texture, small darker marks and very faint light veinlets, without the reflections of the polished version. Behind the look lies the same Belenco technical profile: water absorption of 0.04% (W4), flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa, abrasion class A4 and reaction to fire A2-s1,d0. In the ASTM C1028 static friction measurement the Seta finish gives 0.66 on a wet surface, noticeably above the 0.47 of the polished one. It comes in the same thicknesses (15, 20, 30 mm) and slab sizes (152 × 310 and 165 × 330 cm) as the polished Babilon. Besides kitchen countertops, islands and bathrooms, it is also used for wall cladding, stairs and interior floors. Care is simple – a damp cloth and a neutral detergent, no sealing or wax – with attention to hot cookware and strong chemicals.

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Babilon Seta 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.
