Marinace Granit Plaka

Marinace Granite

Product Overview Marinace Granite is one of the most distinctive stones in the world. Sourced from exclusive quarries in India, this stone is geologically classified as a polymict conglomerate. It captures a moment in geological time where ancient river pebbles were fused together by immense pressure and heat into a solid, incredibly hard rock.

The visual effect is that of a natural mosaic or a terrazzo floor created by nature itself. Whether used as a kitchen island or a feature wall, Marinace Granite serves as a piece of natural art that brings organic history and rugged durability into luxury interiors.

Teknik Özellikler (Data based on standard ASTM/EN testing)

Color & Pattern Description Marinace Granite is defined by its complex, multi-layered appearance:

• Matrix: The background “cement” is typically black, dark grey, or sometimes reddish-brown.
• Inclusions: It is filled with rounded “pebbles” (clasts) of various stones including quartz, granite, and basalt.
• Renkler: The pebbles range in color from snowy white and cool grey to deep red, pink, and olive green.
• Uniformity: While chaotic in detail, the overall distribution of pebbles is surprisingly consistent across the slab.

Temel Avantajlar

• One-of-a-Kind Aesthetic: No synthetic material can replicate the authentic diversity of the pebbles.
• Extreme Hardness: The pebbles are often harder than the matrix, creating a surface that is incredibly resistant to scratches.
• Hides Messes: The busy, multi-colored pattern is excellent at camouflaging crumbs, fingerprints, and water spots.
• Conversation Piece: It naturally draws the eye and invites touch, especially in a Leathered finish.
• Versatility: The wide range of colors in the pebbles allows it to match almost any cabinet or floor color.

Available Finishes

• Cilalı: Creates a smooth, glass-like surface where the pebbles look like gems under water.
• Leathered: Highly recommended. It textures the matrix while leaving the hard pebbles slightly raised, creating a tactile 3D effect.
• Honlanmış: A matte finish that gives the stone a raw, sedimentary look.

Standard Sizes & Customization

• Slabs: Jumbo slabs (approx. 2800 x 1600 mm) are standard.
• Kalınlık: 20 mm and 30 mm.
• Cut-to-size: We offer precision cutting for custom furniture and countertops.

Processing & Fabrication Options

• Edge Profiling: Simple edges (Eased, Beveled) are recommended to avoid cutting through too many pebbles at awkward angles.
• CNC Carving: Can be processed into sinks, though it requires specialized tooling due to the varying hardness of the pebbles.

Installation Notes

• Sızdırmazlık: Essential. The matrix can be slightly more porous than the pebbles, so a high-quality impregnating sealer is required.
• Cutting: Fabricators must use sharp diamond blades and slow cutting speeds to prevent the pebbles from popping out during fabrication.
• Layout: A dry-lay is recommended to choose the best section of the slab for focal points.

Maintenance Guide

• Clean with warm water and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads which might dull the polished finish over time.
• Re-seal annually to maintain stain resistance.
• It is heat resistant, but trivets are recommended.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular (SSS)

Q1: Is Marinace Granite fragile because it’s made of pebbles? No. It is actually one of the hardest stones available. The natural “cement” binding the pebbles has hardened over millions of years, creating a solid, cohesive rock that is harder than many standard granites.

Q2: Does it feel bumpy? In a Cilalı veya Honlanmış finish, it is perfectly smooth and flat. In a Leathered finish, yes, you can feel the slight texture of the pebbles, which many clients love.

Q3: Is it from India or Brazil? Marinace is found in both regions. This specific product is Indian Marinace (often called Coin Black). It shares the same geological structure as the Brazilian variety but often features a distinct color palette.

Q4: Can I use it outdoors? Yes. It is UV stable and durable enough for outdoor kitchens or patio tables.

Q5: Is it hard to match with cabinets? Surprisingly no. Because the pebbles contain so many colors (grey, white, red, black), it can tie together various elements in a room. It pairs exceptionally well with solid-color cabinets (White, Black, Navy).

Q6: Does it stain? The stones themselves are very dense. The matrix between them can absorb oil, so we seal every slab before shipping.

Q7: How much does it cost? It is considered a mid-to-high range exotic stone. It is generally more expensive than basic granite but more affordable than rare quartzites.

Q8: Can it be book-matched? Yes, but the effect is more of a “random mosaic” mirror rather than the distinct veins you see in marble.

Q9: What is the lead time? We stock 2cm and 3cm slabs. Standard orders ship within 10 days.

Q10: Is it suitable for flooring? Yes, it is extremely durable. However, due to the busy pattern, it is usually used for borders or small feature areas rather than large open floors.

Q11: How do you package it? We use extra-strong fumigated wooden bundles. We ensure tight packing to prevent any movement during transport.

Q12: Is waterjet cutting possible? Yes, but it requires slow cutting speeds due to the stone’s hardness and varying density.
