-Volcano Black Seta-
Description & Features
As part of the Seta Collection, Volcano Black Seta brings colour 8765 of Belenco's Essential series to a matt surface; the same colour is also available polished as Volcano Black. In the photo the background reads as a very dark, almost solid black, where sparse tiny white and grey grains can only be seen up close; the absence of gloss makes the surface look deeper and calmer. Like all the brand's colours, it is produced with Bretonstone technology in Manisa and is non-porous, with water absorption of 0.04%, flexural strength ≥ 40 MPa and freeze–thaw resistance per EN 14617-5. The matt texture gives a higher static friction coefficient when wet: 0.66 against 0.47 for the polished finish (ASTM C1028). It is available in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses and in slabs up to 165 × 330 cm. It suits kitchen countertops, islands, bathroom vanity tops, cladding, stairs and interior floors, especially in pared-back schemes with wood or light-coloured cabinets. Cleaning only needs a damp cloth with neutral soap (pH 5–8.5), no waxes or sealers, and always a trivet under hot cookware.
Why choose Volcano Black Seta
- Matte, almost solid black without reflections
- Same colour as the polished Volcano Black
- Wet friction 0.66 (ASTM C1028)
- Non-porous – no sealing or wax

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Volcano Black Seta 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.
