-Milano-

Behind Milano is one of three Far East producers who work with their own technology instead of Breton and make the slabs one by one by hand for a more natural result. The design is a gentle take on white marble with fine veining: the background is bright white and the veins, in light to mid grey, are fine and jagged, like crumpled lines, rising mainly diagonally from one corner of the slab towards the opposite one, with small offshoots; soft grey flecks are scattered around them. The contrast stays low to moderate and the look recalls white marbles of the Carrara or Venatino type, with a more restrained pattern than a bold Calacatta. The manufacturer publishes no measurements, so the table lists the typical values of quartz surfaces; like any quartz surface, it is non-porous, needs no sealing and has high stain resistance. The slab has a polished, reflective surface, while size and thickness are confirmed with the order. Its gentle pattern makes it suitable both for kitchen and bathroom countertops and for larger surfaces such as wall cladding and interior floors, as well as islands, splashbacks and furniture. In daily use a damp cloth and a neutral detergent are enough; hot cookware needs a trivet and the surface should not be permanently exposed to the sun.
