Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Water Absorption: 0.22% by weight
- Density: 2700 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: 16.1 MPa
- Compressive Strength: 148.0 - 157.5 MPa
- Hardness: Generally categorized in the moderate range for marble, allowing for easy workability.
- Porosity: Low porosity, enhancing its resistance to staining with proper sealing.
- Slip Resistance: Dependent on the surface finish; a honed finish provides better slip resistance compared to polished surfaces.
Chemical and Mineral Compositions
- Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3): The predominant mineral, typical of marble.
- Iron Oxides: Responsible for the warm red and orange hues.
- Quartz: Minor amounts can be present.
- Silicates and Aluminosilicates: Trace impurities that may affect coloration.
Usage
Rosso Noce Marble is favored for its aesthetic appeal and is commonly used in:
- Flooring: Adds a luxurious touch to hallways, foyers, and living areas.
- Wall Cladding: Enhances the sophistication of both internal and external walls.
- Countertops: Provides elegance in kitchens and bathrooms.

Cutting Sizes and Surface Finishes
- Standard Cuts: Available in tiles of common sizes like 30x30 cm, 40x40 cm, and slabs of varying thickness.
- Custom Sizes: Available upon request for bespoke projects.
- Surface Finishes:
- Polished: Enhances the stone's natural color and veins with a glossy surface.
- Honed: Provides a matte finish that is softer and more subtle.
- Brushed: Offers a textured surface with an antique feel.
- Sandblasted: Creates a rough, non-slip surface ideal for outdoor applications.
This versatile marble's combination of aesthetic warmth, mechanical strength, and varied finish options makes it a sought-after material for architects and designers aiming for an exquisite, timeless look.
