Fantasy Brown Satin is marble from northern India. Fantasy Brown Satin is such a hard marble, that it needs to be cut using a granite gang saw instead of a marble gang saw. Due to its hardness, it is well suited for kitchen countertop use. The diagonal movement in this marble, the brown veining, plus the off-setting cream and white tones give this material a dramatic look. During the brushing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks, or fissures that may exist. This does not affect the durability, maintenance, or beauty of the stone. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched, meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and brushed to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern. A mesh backing is adhered to the back of the stone to ensure safety while handling and fabricating the slab.
Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all-natural stone products; therefore, when installing natural stone tile, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. As natural stone products, it is recommended that these be sealed to extend their longevity.
