-Minta-
Description & Features
Among the whites of Belenco's Pure series, Minta stands out for its crisp, distinct veining. Belenco, which belongs to the Korean LOTTE group, produces quartz slabs in Manisa, Turkey, with Bretonstone technology. Thin, dark grey veins of short to medium length wave, break and branch across a bright white background, covering the slab evenly with a slight tendency towards one direction; the polished surface emphasises the contrast and reflects light strongly. The manufacturer states water absorption of 0.04% (class W4), flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa, compressive strength of about 230 MPa and abrasion resistance class A4. Belenco makes Extra 152 × 310 cm and Jumbo 165 × 330 cm slabs in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses. Minta is suited to kitchen countertops, islands, bathroom vanity tops, splashbacks, wall cladding and interior stairs. For maintenance a damp cloth and a neutral cleaner with pH 5–8.5 are enough; avoid solvents, strong acids and highly alkaline products, and always use a trivet for hot cookware.

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Minta 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.
