dark Emperador

Since the dawn of civilization, natural stones have been crafted into works of art and valued in the home. Today, beautiful stones such as Dark Emperador marble are more popular than ever, signifying elegance and beauty.

Dark Emperador is a calcareous stone which presents a dark brown tone of colour crossed white or light brown veins.

The classification (and also its capacity of being supplied and its price) depends on the homogeneity of the tone of colour, the constant veining and the presence of mineral intrussions.

It’s suitable for indoor flooring and cladding. In outdoor areas only for cladding small zones (with maintenance) or in antique finish.

The stone can be finished in polished, honed, antiqued principally. Sandblasted or split are less used
