Sapienstone Dark Marquina

Dark Marquina is a black background marbled porcelain of exceptional grade. It displays fine, compact grain with white veins scattered over the surface. The white veins on the Sapienstone Dark Marquina take inspiration from the famous Nero Marquina Marble. They act as light beams in their blackness, distinguishing this worktop from others.

Description & Features

Nero Marquina is known for its dark backdrop, with accented pure white veins that are well-known and popular in homes and offices across the country. SapienStone Dark Marquina is the finest choice for those with a flair for luxury and classic style. You may mix this stone with white marble in kitchens and bathrooms, such as Carrara or Calacatta. The contrast between black and white makes it even more attractive and plentiful.

Choosing a large slab size of 320 x 150 cm allows you to install worktops, splashbacks, wall cladding, flooring, stairs, and many more applications, making it an excellent choice for residential and commercial projects.

SapienStone is inherently tolerant of high heat. SapienStone, unlike wood, laminates, and quartz worktops, will not fire in a fireplace. And will not suffer heat deformation if you place a pan or casserole dish on it. Similarly, you can use  SapienStone countertops outside because the sunshine does not affect their properties.
The scratch resilience of SapienStone is higher than that of the other materials. For example, Oak, Pine, steel, or laminate are highly prone to scratches. In contrast, SapienStone’s rich texture can survive everyday use because it doesn’t contain coloured resins or protective sealants, such as those used to give shine or colour enhancers to natural marble, granite or limestone.

What is the best SapienStone feature, you may wonder? It requires no special care or maintenance, and you can clean the surfaces with regular, warm, soapy water and standard cleaning agents. In addition, it is immune to various chemicals and acids, including orange, soy sauce, and ketchup.

Dark Marquina worktops provide four key advantages

• It gives a non-absorbent surface with zero porosity that doesn’t require maintenance or sealants.
• Antibacterial and Antiviral efficacy, which means they kill over 99 per cent of bacteria and viruses.
• Heat resistance of up to 280 Celsius means you don’t have to worry about dragging pots or pans onto the surfaces.
• UV Ray suitability means you can use surfaces that don’t fade over time, indoors and outdoors.

Caring for your Sapienstone Dark  Marquina countertops

Dark Marquina is simple to clean and preserve. In truth, all it takes is a few simple procedures to ensure your worktops’ long-term safety and beauty.

• Daily cleaning: Use a cloth and a mixture of hot water and neutral detergent. Avoid waxes, polishes, and abrasive instruments like metal scouring pads and hard-bristle brushes.
• Precautions: Avoid abrasive detergents on glossy and polished surfaces; however,  you can use them on matt materials after testing on a tiny corner of the work surface.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, we recommend using specialist detergents diluted in water and allowing them to work for the period specified by the manufacturer.

Dark Marquina Attributes

SapienStone has an inherent resistance to low temperatures at night. And it is also highly resistant to sweltering temperatures. Unlike wood, laminates, and marble worktops, the surfaces will not burn in the case of a fire, and they will not be thermally damaged if you place a hot coffee pot or pan on them. In addition, you can install SapienStone worktops outside because the sunshine does not affect its properties.

• Highly resistant to scratches: the scratch resistance of SapiensStone is superior to that of other building and decoration materials. Whereas wood, laminates, and granite countertops can scratch often, Dark Marquina’s resilient surface can survive everyday wear and tear – and it doesn’t comprise any coloured resins or protective coatings like those that give colour or shine to other stones.
• Zero Maintenance: Best of all, Sapienstone worktops do not need extra care or attention. You can clean any products from the range with regular soap and hot water or conventional cleaning supplies. 
• Versatile Surface: The stone is resistant to various chemicals and acids, including lemon, ketchup, coffee, and vinegar. It is one of the few kitchen surface materials that can withstand colouring agents such as cardamon and paprika.

Additional Properties

• High Flexural & Bending Strenght: SapienStone is easy to shape because of its industrial manufacturing process. And because it doesn’t contain the polymer resins you see in quartz surfaces, the 12 mm thick worktops never bend.
• Whole Body Composition: Pietra Grey is a porcelain countertop with full-body veins, unlike many sintered stones. Indeed, its pattern is consistent in three dimensions. 
• Distinctive Finish: its innovative natural Finish compromises the polished and matte finishes providing the best of both worlds to any environment in which it is present.
• Hygienic surface: its resistance to high temperatures, resistance to scratching, and almost zero absorption of liquids make it sterile, a top priority in any kitchen.

Practical Advantages For Modern Kitchens

• Long-Lasting: Brands rarely use the term “proof,” preferring to refer to a product as “water or scratch-resistant.” SapienStone, on the other hand, comes close. It is one of the few sintered stones that can survive the elements. As a result, it can withstand the tremendous heat of a hot pan. And also the frigid temperatures of the outdoors in the winter. It is also UV resistant, differentiating it from other typical surfaces like quartz or laminate. On the other hand, the surface’s stain and scratch resistance are the most practical of the worktop’s resistant features.
• Adaptable surface: As previously stated, the material is nearly indestructible, and SapienStone has enabled its multi-use use by providing the material with these resistant properties. Due to UV resistance, you can use this countertop in all outdoor settings without warping, fading, or breaking. It makes it perfect for use as a grilling area, cladding, or pavers. In addition, the 12 mm thicknesses allow you to use this stone as a backsplash, drawer front, and benchtop in any design setting.
• Innovative worktop: The surface comprises various natural raw materials and alters the kitchen countertop arena. With their resistant properties, ultra-compact porcelain tackles many difficulties plaguing domestic worktops. In addition, the revolutionary sintered particle technology results in materials that imitate the natural alteration natural stone endured over thousands of years in only 48 hours.
