-Statuario Extra-

Statuario Extra comes from a Far East producer with technology other than Breton, where every slab is the result of a hand-made process – which explains the natural flow of the veins as well as the small deviations from slab to slab. The design renders the look of Italian Statuario with large-scale movement: on a bright, neutral white, wide veins in light smoky grey – with a cloudy, slightly granular interior and white oval islands in places – cross the slab diagonally from upper left to lower right, while on one side a second vein system runs down almost vertically. Around them, many fine, crisp grey lines run in parallel or cross, adding detail and depth; the contrast is moderate. It is a non-porous composite of quartz and resin that needs no sealing and resists stains; in the absence of a technical sheet, the table contains the typical values of quartz surfaces. The finish is polished; slab size and thickness are clarified at the quotation stage. Its large-scale movement is best used on islands and wall cladding, while it also suits kitchen and bathroom countertops, interior stairs and furniture. Its care is simple – a damp cloth and a neutral detergent – as long as hot cookware without a trivet, strong chemicals and sun exposure are avoided.
