Unistone Botticino
Unistone Bianco Galactica comprises over 90% natural quartz, creating consistency in texture, colour, shading, and patterns to let you make rooms with design continuity. Read More
Unistone Botticino is inspired by the famous Italian Botticino marble, but instead of calcite, it comprises over 90% quartz content. As a result, it results in a non-porous work surface with higher resistance to stains and scratches than natural beige marble.
In addition, Botticino quartz provides a hygienic worktop avoiding germs and bacteria where you need it the most: kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas in contact with water.
Unistone Botticino Quartz Description
The aesthetics of Unistone Botticino quartz are similar to those of the Botticino marble. It has an ivory-coloured backdrop with sporadic white streaks running through the slab.
The warm backdrop colour with lovely creamy and white veining is further detailed with a small number of thin greyish veining and dispersed grey hues, which add an appealing detail and texture.
Botticino is a classic marble prevalent in buildings and homes over the last few centuries and, like all traditional products, stands the test of time. It has a medium to high shine level and is most prevalent in kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms, where it will add personality and character.
