About the stone
Getting to know Ekeberg Dark
Despite the name, a light marble: compared with Ekeberg Light it carries more veining in yellow, green and brown, the result of a higher content of amphibole and mica.
Where to use it
Ekeberg Dark is mainly specified for interior flooring, window sills, worktops and tables and interiors. Limestone and marble are more sensitive to acids than granite; an impregnating sealer and pH-neutral cleaning keep the surface at its best.
Finishes
- brushed: softly textured and pleasant underfoot
- honed: smooth and matt, shows the pattern, for interior floors
- polished: deepens the colour, for interiors and facade details
