Contemporary and Unobtrusive
The fine-grained structure of the Carbon Grey quartzite causes the special appeal of the material and gives it an incomparable elegance. The unique grain underlines the gentle grey tone, which hardly changes from block to block. This color consistency and uniform structure of the quartzite is a great advantage, especially in large-scale applications. Its exterior is sometimes reminiscent of the Italian basalts such as Basaltina® or Basaltite®, but Carbon Grey offers advantages over them by being more consistent in availability, especially large-sized blocks.
The good technical properties of this quartzite make it very practical for indoor and outdoor use. Thanks to its acid resistance, the material is also very suitable for kitchen countertops. With its contemporary, elegant and unobtrusive character, Carbon Grey is perfectly suited for modern and timeless architecture.
description material type
Quartzite belongs to the metamorphic rocks. High temperature and pressure ensured that from the porous sandstone emerged a consistent and polishable rock that consists almost entirely of quartz. Pure quartzites are the most weather-resistant rocks that exist. Thanks to its high compressive strength and abrasion resistance, the rock is suitable for floors, facades, and many indoor and outdoor applications. Through small admixtures, quartzites appear in many different colors.
