Belgian bluestone or “Little Granite” is a limestone with a more or less pronounced natural blue/grey colour, which is characterized by the presence of a large
number of fossilized crinoids. This type of bluestone is only quarried in Belgium.
• It develops a natural patina:
use: outdoors, changes due to the action of rain and UV-rays
to its original pale blue-grey colour
use : indoors in the course of time, it develops a deeper colour
• Bluestone is susceptible to products and scratches
• Belgian bluestone can often contain a number of white veins (1),
black lines, spots and fossils (2)
• Depending on the finishing, the stone has a different look
(1) “White veins” are water veins, formed by water, 100% specific to bluestone and are not cracks as people often assume.
(2) Fossils and colour differences: stone is a natural material formed by different perfectly petrified fossils. So it is normal to find nests of crustaceans in the
stone. In other words, even in one sheet of stone clear differences in colour can be observed.

Granite Dark (GD) and Polish (GP) have a much more regular
structure than bluestone
• Much less absorbent structures than bluestone
• Virtually no veins in the surface
• Easier to maintain than bluestone

GRANITE TINTA
GT
Granite Caramel (GC) quartzite (layered structure)
Colour variations (3) and general comments: in stone terminology, it would be described as rather uniform, an orangey brown, which can change from lightcoloured
to considerably darker with a subtle cloud and line structure, sometimes having a greyish background. Occasionally, a dark-brown pattern or shape
occurs in the stone, and sporadically, pitting or flaking is possible.
Granite Tinta (GT) Is a porous, silicon-containing sand stone
• Colour can vary from light grey to darker greyish blue
• In rare cases this stone can contain small holes,
sparkling spots or darkgrey to black speckled structures
• It is absolutely necessary to impregnate this stone
(cf. Manutti Care Line)
• Is acid and scratch sensitive

Satingo Nero (SN) is a granit-like stone
• Is black-coloured with nuances in the black colour structures
• Can be lightly spotted
• Can contain minuscule holes
• It is advisable to impregnate this stone (cf. Manutti Care Line)

with whitish grey/black fossils.

Carrara marble is a flawless marble from the marble quarries of the Apuan
Alps. Its application possibilities are varied. The Bianco Carrara marble has
predominantly a white to light gray background. On its surface, darker shades
of gray veining are featured. Like all natural stones, Carrara marble varies from
piece to piece and from lot to lot.
• Each marble plate has its own unique shading
• Small white spots and tiny holes may appear on the surface
• Is frost resistant
