-Iceberg-
Description & Features
Iceberg, from Belenco's Pure series, lives up to its name and evokes the image of ice. Belenco is a brand of Lotte Chemical Turkey, a member of the Korean LOTTE group, and produces quartz slabs in Manisa with Breton's Bretonstone technology. Iceberg has no clear lines or veins: the white background forms large, soft areas of milky white and very light grey that swirl and overlap like layers of ice, adding depth without losing brightness. Belenco's data state water absorption of 0.04%, flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa, compressive strength of about 230 MPa and chemical resistance class C4, with a reaction-to-fire classification of A2-s1,d0. Belenco's colour list shows it with a polished finish, 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses and Extra (152 × 310 cm) and Jumbo (165 × 330 cm) slabs. It suits kitchen and bathroom countertops, islands, wall cladding and splashbacks, as well as furniture and tables. It is cleaned with a damp cloth and a little neutral liquid soap; waxes and sealers are unnecessary, while a trivet for hot cookware and avoiding strong chemicals such as solvents are recommended.
Why choose Iceberg
- Milky ice-like clouds, no linear veins
- Belenco Pure series (LOTTE group)
- Reaction to fire A2-s1,d0, chemical class C4
- Slabs up to 165 × 330 cm for fewer joints

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Iceberg 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.
