-Perla White-
Description & Features
Perla White, from the Belenco range (slabs made by Lotte Chemical Turkey in the Manisa Organised Industrial Zone on Bretonstone lines), is a soft, almost uniform white. The colour is a very light, pearly white: faint, lace-like clouds and fine wisps in an even brighter white form over it, a white-on-white pattern with minimal contrast that gives an almost uniform surface from a distance and a discreet, silky movement up close. It thus offers a middle way between a completely solid white and whites with visible veins. For all its colours Belenco publishes indicative values: water absorption of 0.04%, density of 2.3–2.4 g/cm³, flexural strength of at least 40 MPa, compressive strength of about 230 MPa and chemical resistance class C4. Belenco makes Extra 152 × 310 cm and Jumbo 165 × 330 cm slabs in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses; Perla White is offered polished, and the sizes available for this specific colour are confirmed when ordering. It can cover kitchen and bathroom countertops and islands, clad splashbacks and walls, or be used for furniture. For care a damp cotton cloth with a little neutral liquid soap is enough; the surface needs no sealer or polish, and a trivet should always go under hot cookware.
