-Boletus-
Description & Features
Boletus is one of the few Belenco colours offered in a matt Seta version as well as in the polished finish, and it belongs to the Classic series, which the producer presents as a timeless option for many different styles. The slab has a warm ivory-beige background with a fine, slightly speckled texture, while here and there short, thin dark grey lines appear, like tiny cracks, with no single direction; the overall look is calm and almost uniform. It is made by Lotte Chemical in Manisa with Bretonstone technology and has Belenco's technical characteristics: water absorption of 0.04%, density of 2.3–2.4 g/cm³, flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa (F4) and chemical resistance class C4. In both finishes it is produced in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses, with Extra 152 × 310 cm or Jumbo 165 × 330 cm slabs. It suits kitchens and bathrooms, wall cladding and splashbacks, as well as interior stairs and floors; the matt version offers a softer, non-reflective look. It is cleaned with a damp cloth and a little neutral liquid soap, without sealing or wax; avoid hot cookware without a trivet, solvents and strong acids.
Why choose Boletus
- Calm ivory-beige with fine dark hairlines
- Polished or matt Seta, as preferred
