• Bespoke pieces, made to order according to the project (cut-outs, edge profiles, templates for non-standard sizes)

The material blends harmoniously into modern, classic or contemporary schemes, thanks to its natural texture and neutral colour.

Professional installation – best practice guide

For correct, long-lasting installation, follow the steps specific to each type of piece:

• Window sills: Fixed to masonry with special adhesives, recessed into the wall or fixed on brackets, ensuring a fall of at least 5% for water run-off and machining with a drip groove
• Steps: Checking and preparing the substrate, correcting flatness, applying flexible adhesive (e.g. Weber MarmoPlus), fitting the tread and the riser, machining the edges on site if necessary
• Worktops: Precise measurements, fitting the supporting units, cut-outs for sinks or sockets, sealing with silicone between the worktop and the wall/units, on-site finishing for perfect detailing

For non-standard sizes, it is recommended that 1:1 scale templates be made, to be used in the production process.

Maintenance and protection

To preserve the appearance and durability of polished Volakas Brown marble, the following are recommended:

• Cleaning with dedicated natural stone cleaners, such as LTP Grimex or LTP Power Stripper
• Sealing: LTP MPG for indoor use, LTP Mattstone H2O for outdoor use
• Regular maintenance with neutral cleaners (LTP Waxwash, LTP Stonewash)
• Additional protection for worktops with the silver-ion antibacterial kit and Safe Marble

To restore surfaces affected by staining or wear, specialised natural stone restoration kits can be used.
