Marble Grits
Marble grits tiles, obtained mixing marble grains with cement, date back to '600.
At the beginning of '900, old techniques and new materials suggested the production of marble grits tiles, really suitable for heavily decorated surfaces.
Today, this type of floor is requested and appreciated where is necessary to instill the warmth that other more modern materials can't.
The "Venetian Way Tiles" are produced in the several formats, either squared 20 x 20 cm, 25 x 25 cm, 34 x 34 cm, 40 x 40 cm, or hexagonal h 20 cm and h 25 cm, 2,5 cm in thickness.
Tiles consist of two layers. The first layer is about 1 cm thick and is made of portland cement, washed and powered marbel crit, marble powder and coloured oxides; the second layer is a strong concrete with selected inert matters and it is about 1.7 cm thick. The tile is delivered in its natural state to polish afterwards.
Due to the mix of marble powders and the variety of materials, there could be alterations of tones between tiles.
