Marazzi Surfaces Manufacturing: 200 Metres Long Kiln and Advanced Technologies
The Marazzi Concrete White production process includes 7 (seven) main methods, using an automated factory, and reducing energy consumption:
- Preparation of raw materials: The producer maintains all the natural components separately to minimise cross-contamination. The raw materials are then conveyed through an industrial belt into hoppers and purifying devices.
- Milling and crossbreed: The company takes the formulation from the purification devices or hoppers to a wet milling process, combining the raw materials into specified molecules. This combination is separated until it becomes a stable surface material.
- Colouring: During the pigmentary process, the business employs an intelligent mixer, diluters, and frothers. The mix can merge with the rest of the Marazzi mix, depending on its texture or colour.
- Atomisation: The producer atomises and dries the previously coloured solution, reaching a specific size, grain shape, and humidity level. The various products then stay in different silos.
- Baking of the slabs: During this stage, the producer provides the slab with its chemical, aesthetical, and technical features. It employs temperatures of up to 1300 degrees Celsius, guaranteeing that the various coloured patently. The brand then changes the raw materials and colours into additional temporary substances to complete the process. Finally, the technique uses heat to control these compounds, causing them to interact and follow suitable synthesis methods.
- Finishing the Surfaces: Marazzi uses a low-consumption dryer, waiting up to 48 hours for the slabs to solidify. In addition, it uses high-resolution digital printing to recreate the original look of different building and decoration materials. Finally, the company uses post-fire industrial surface finishers. It achieves the different textures it provides to the materials before going through a strict quality control method.
- Storage: Using automated packaging, the brand reduces health and safety concerns for its team and contributes to a closed cycle of eco-sustainable production.

The Top by Marazzi porcelain worktops comprises ceramic clay and mineral colouring instead of resin colouring in other countertops. As a result, it makes them more robust (40% stronger than marble), less prone to staining ( < 0.50% liquid absorption), and offers heat resistance (it melts at over 2000 Celsius) than other work surfaces such as quartz.
Have you got 1 minute? -The below video shows you Marazzi's manufacturing plant, and its highly automated production process:
These are three main steps for cutting ceramic worktops by Marazzi:
Preparation
- Remove at least 2 cm of Marazzi The Top from each slab edge.
- Plan a sequence that detaches the worktops or panels from the slabs and then makes the cutouts.
- Allow for a minimum 5 mm radius, ensuring the surfaces are flat, level and stable whilst cutting.
Cutting holes
- Mark the cutting point, no more than 5 cm from the slab edge, coring at 75 degrees. You can use a flared drill bit for more even borders.
- Cut along the marking with an angle grinder with a diamond disc.
- Smooth the cutout's edges with diamond polishing pads containing velcro backers
Cutting edges
To create Marazzi worktop edges, follow the below steps:
- First, use a diamond tool device to shape the 45 degrees angle mitred edges.
- Score the slab without stopping with constant speed and pressure to cut straight edges.
- To detach the scored areas, detach the pieces using cutting pliers at both ends.
- You can use a drill or angle grinder containing a diamond disc or a 6-8mm drill to cut rectangular shapes. Them, cut along with the device comprising the diamond bit or drill.
- Shape the edges using a machine fitted with diamond tools.
The below video shows you Marazzi The Top cutting process for creating cutouts and edges:
To install Marazzi The Top worktops, make sure the surfaces are clean. Then, ensure that the substrate (kitchen units, bathroom cabinets, etc.) is level and flat.
Reinforce the cutouts and other weak points in the worktops.
- First, prepare the adhesive, and place it evenly across the substrate and on the worktops.
- Gently put the panels over the cabinetry during assembly, ensuring aligned joints.
- Allow a minimum 2mm joint, using packers and clamp levellers where required.
- Once the worktops are in place, mix the grout to colour-match it to the tone of the worktops.
- Remove any excess grout with plenty of water and clean in diagonal motions.
- Once the worktop installation is complete, clean all the surfaces thoroughly with a window glass cleaner. Finally, dry with a microfibre cloth.
If you have 90 seconds to spare, you can watch the visual guidance below:
Marazzi porcelain worktops require little to no upkeep. You can clean the surfaces using clear water or a neutral pH cleanser. To keep your surfaces from becoming dull, rinse with water and dry with a cloth. Clear spillages immediately to avoid stains on light-coloured worktops. You don't need to seal or acid-clean Marazzi The Top surfaces.
Unlike standard ceramic or porcelain, made by fusing clay minerals and other ingredients, Marazzi The Top is a Sintered Stone because it uses different raw ingredients. In addition, each Sintered Stone company has its particular method that includes different heating temperatures, substances, and effects. And Marazzi the Top uses materials that contain elements that provide different effects and finishes than those on standard ceramic or porcelain.
As a result, Marazzi continues creating new material categories and product ranges. These include Ultracompact surfaces, large panels, extra-large slabs, and compact surfaces.
Even though Marazzi The Top is more expensive to buy than other the more common natural stone and quartz, it does not require upkeep. It is an essential element since it enables Marazzi to be incredibly cost-effective throughout time. Furthermore, it provides a 25-year available warranty, increasing the property's total worth.
It is not easy to scratch Marazzi The Top. For example, kitchen worktops, lobby, and shop floors are the most demanding applications for decoration surfaces. Marazzi The Top results 'Class A', CEN/TS 16209, during testing method EN 15186:2012 met B, making it ideal for such applications due to its resistance to wear and tear.
No. Although the chipping potential of Marazzi The Top is lower than that of other surface materials, it is stiffer than marble and quartz, making it more susceptible to chipping than these materials.
If you live in London or up to 100 miles from it, you can get Marazzi The Top samples here. The team at the Worktop Library will get Marazzi samples delivered to your door between 2-3 business days.
Marazzi boasts five production plants in Italy, Spain, the USA, Japan, and China. In addition, Marazzi produces The Top worktops for the UK and Europe in two places:
- Marazzi Headquarters & Plan, Viale Regina Pacis 39, Sassuolo, Italy
- Marazzi Iberia S.L.U., Avenida Enrique Gimeno 37, 12006, Castellon, Spain
Marazzi The Top is an excellent material for fire hearth and chimney exterior cladding. Its thermal expansion of x10 -6/°C, enabling you to limit the number of joints to a minimum.
You can use Marazzi The Top surfaces in applications such as the front or side of chimneys protected from the heat by an interior resistant wall. However, the company does not advocate its usage within pipes. It is because of the risks of abrupt changes in conditions or temperature.
Marazzi The Top surfaces are ideal for outdoor use and offer unmatched UV rays resistance. You can install them on concrete, elevated floors, stone, sand, or lawn. They are available in different colours and textural finishes, with the appearance of marble, concrete, terracotta, wood, stone, and other traditional decoration materials.
Marazzi The Top has a modulus of rupture of a minimum value of 32 N/mm2 (ISO 10545-4). As a result, it creates enough flexibility in the stone, letting you construct curved upstands, curved breakfast bars, circular kitchen islands, and other specific curved designs.
Marazzi The Top countertops are available in three different thicknesses: 6 mm, 12 mm, and 20 mm. However, not all colours come in all three thicknesses.
The Marazzi The Top colours you can choose from these three different thicknesses are Statuario, Solid White, Solid Black, Granito Black, Limestone Sand, and Porfido Greenery. Then, there are 42 Marazzi. The Top colours are available in thicknesses of 6 mm and 12 mm, 6 mm and 20 mm, or 12 mm and 20 mm.
You can check which colours are available in each thickness by using our product filter selectors.
When comparing Marazzi The Top to quartz, the two significant distinctions are that Marazzi The Top surfaces are more heat resistant than quartz (up to 300 Celsius vs 150 Celsius for quartz). In addition, you can use Marazzi The Top outside because it does not include the polymers that degrade the colour of the quartz surfaces when exposed to direct sun for long durations. However, one disadvantage of Marazzi The Top worktops versus quartz is that the material has a more stiff layer, increasing the susceptibility to chipping when a strong impact happens (on its borders and corners), even though Marazzi The Top is still difficult to chip.
No, Marazzi The Top is a new type of porcelain known as a sintered stone, available in extra-large slabs. It differs from ceramic in terms of the raw materials in its construction, its production procedures, and the finishes and effects it provides.
If a grout mist remains on the worktop's surface, it may look dull. It is common when the grout is not entirely removed from the worktop's surface shortly after installation. Because grout is a type of concrete, it becomes difficult to remove once completely dried.
To recover the surface's lustre:
- Apply CIF cream to a small testing area.
- Mix it with warm water and leave the solution to rest for one minute.
- Rinse with plenty of warm water.
In addition, natural wear and tear can cause scratches, which hold dirt and diminish lustre over time. For example, sand or gravel attached to tools you repeatedly push across a worktop. Abrasive-finished children's toys, heavy trolleys or dragging heavy tools and appliances can also scratch the worktops.
