Engineered for Strength

MarbleX slabs are manufactured to rigorous quality standards and offer impressive technical performance.

Key specifications include:

  • Thickness: 15mm
  • Size: 800 x 2400mm
  • Weight: 70kg per slab

These characteristics make MarbleX an excellent option for high-use residential and commercial environments.

Easy Maintenance and Cleaning

One of the biggest advantages of MarbleX countertops is their low-maintenance nature.

Routine cleaning generally requires nothing more than a damp cloth. Because the surface is non-porous, dust, grease, and common household contaminants cannot easily penetrate the material.

For tougher stains, recommended cleaning solutions include:

  • Detergents for grease
  • Ammonia or baking soda for oils
  • Alcohol-based cleaners for ink
  • Liquid bleach for blood and iodine stains
  • Hydrochloric acid-based cleaners for cement and lime deposits

For best results, stains should always be cleaned as soon as possible.

Professional Installation Matters

To achieve the best results, MarbleX recommends proper slab handling and installation procedures.

Important installation considerations include:

  • Use appropriate suction lifting equipment and reinforced trolleys.
  • Ensure all countertop cut-outs have a minimum 3mm radius on internal corners.
  • Maintain at least 5cm between multiple cut-outs and slab edges.
  • Use suitable adhesives and leveling systems during installation.
  • Ensure adequate support and a level substrate before installation begins.

Following these guidelines helps maximize strength, durability, and long-term performance.
