Sahara Noir | OPP16

Sahara Noir is a Tunisian precious marble.
This type of marble is composed of fossilized petroleum which gives it the classic dark background.
However, the main feature that makes Sahara Noir marble unique are its white and golden veins due in part to some of its internal components such as silicon and oxidized metal and in part to the recrystallization of calcites.
These veins, unlike other types of marble, appear as clear lines that sometimes intersect perpendicularly.
Since Sahara noir is not a very compact marble, it needs a resin coating both to highlight its black colour and to increase its resistance and consolidate its structure.
In addition, the different composition of the marble slab conveys some more opaque and uneven areas to the polishing, which is in no way a subject of complaint.
This marble is very porous and it is made of different components which absorb the polishing in different ways.The result is a polished effect that is not homogeneous.
We suggest to order the polyester treatment to avoid this effect.
In fact, on demand, marble tops can be coated with polyester treatment, which consists in a painting process similar to the process that wooden furniture is submitted to, covering
any possible micro hole, sealing, filling, thus making the marble uniform and smooth, also in the painting.
