• Origin: Turkey (specifically the Izmir region); variations also quarried in Iran.

• Surface Finish Options: Polished (most common), Honed, Brushed, Leathered, Sandblasted.

2. Technical & Physical Properties

• Hardness (Mohs Scale): 4.0 4.5

  • Note: Moderate hardness. It is durable for flooring but softer than granite.

• Density (Bulk Specific Gravity): 2,700 2,745 kg/m

  • Note: A high-density stone, contributing to its durability.

• Water Absorption (by weight): 0.10% 0.13%

  • Note: Very low water absorption compared to other marbles, making it relatively resistant to moisture.

• Porosity: Low (0.2% 1.8%)

• Compressive Strength: 1,300 1,580 kg/cm (127 155 MPa)

  • Note: High load-bearing capacity, suitable for heavy traffic areas.

• Flexural Strength: 94 98 kg/cm (9.5 MPa)

• Abrasion Resistance: High

  • Frictional Wear: 1.9 mm (loss in volume test)

3. Dimensions (Standard)

• Slab Thickness: Typically available in 16mm, 18mm, and 20mm.

• Tile Sizes: Common cuts include 30x60 cm, 60x60 cm, and 80x80 cm, though custom sizes are standard for luxury projects.

4. Recommended Applications

Due to its elegant aesthetic and low water absorption, Armani Brown is highly versatile:

• Interior Flooring: Living rooms, hallways, and hotel lobbies.

• Wall Cladding: Feature walls, bathroom walls, and elevator surrounds.

• Countertops: Bathroom vanities and kitchen islands (sealing is recommended for kitchens due to acidic sensitivity).

• Staircases: Treads and risers.

5. Maintenance & Care

• Sealing: Recommended every 12 years to prevent staining.

• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral cleaners only. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon) as they will etch the calcium-based surface.

• Protection: Use coasters and mats to prevent scratches from sharp objects, as the Mohs hardness is lower than steel or sand.
