-Nero Venato-

Nero Venato is produced in the Far East, with technologies other than Breton and hand shaping of every slab, so the position of the veins changes from slab to slab – important when pieces are matched on islands and walls. Its deep black background has a mirror-like gloss and is crossed by a few but strong white veins – long, continuous and almost parallel, running diagonally from upper left to lower right, with one branching on one side. Between them spreads a very fine web of faint white lines and small curls that gives depth to the black without reducing the contrast; the whole recalls the Spanish Nero Marquina marble. The body of quartz grains and resin has no pores and needs no sealing; since no technical measurements are published, the table includes the usual values of quartz surfaces. The polished surface brings out the depth of the black, while sizes and thicknesses are given with the quotation. Besides kitchens, islands and bathrooms, its striking look suits wall cladding and bar or reception counters. Cleaning is done with a damp cloth and a neutral cleaner; hot cookware, strong acids, solvents and constant sun should be avoided.
