-Skyros-
Description & Features
Among the quartz surfaces of three Far East producers with their own production lines and slabs made one at a time by hand, Skyros stands out for its warm contrast. Fine black hairlines divide the bright white background into large, irregular polygons, while broader bands rise diagonally, filled with a deep reddish-brown colour, like rust or chestnut, that encloses small white fragments. The dark outlines make the red-brown bands stand out even more, giving the image of a coloured breccia marble on white. The quartz-and-resin composite resists stains and needs no sealing; there are no official technical measurements for the product, so the usual data apply as an indication (hardness around 7 Mohs, very low absorption). The slab comes polished; availability in thicknesses and sizes is confirmed before cutting. Its place is wherever the surface is meant to catch the eye: islands, wall cladding, bathroom countertops, tables and bar counters. The bands differ from slab to slab, so the layout of the pieces deserves attention; care is limited to wiping with a wet cloth and, where needed, a little neutral cleaner, with a trivet for hot pans.
Why choose Skyros
- White with reddish-brown bands and black outlines
- Coloured breccia-style design with warm contrast
- Each slab made separately – a unique pattern
- Resists stains – no sealing needed
Technical Specifications
| Material | Engineered quartz composite – quartz grains bound with resin, slabs produced one at a time (not Breton technology) |
| Color & Pattern | Bright white background with large cells outlined by fine black lines and diagonal bands in deep reddish-brown (rust) |
| Hardness (Mohs) | ≈7 (typical for quartz surfaces) |
| Density (g/cm³) | ≈2.3–2.5 (typical range for quartz surfaces – not stated for this product) |
| Water Absorption (%) | Very low (typically < 0.1% for quartz surfaces – no value stated for this product) |
| Frost Resistance | For interior use – no freeze–thaw data are given for this product, and the resin binder of quartz surfaces is not suited to permanent sun exposure (UV can change the colour) |
| Acid Sensitivity | High stain resistance thanks to the non-porous surface; no chemical-resistance class is given, so strong acids, alkalis and solvents should be avoided |
| Recommended Finishes | Polished |

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Skyros 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.
