At Marbres Pellicer, we supply all types of stone for virtually any domestic project, as well as for a wide range of commercial projects.
When choosing a material for a worktop or any other project, it is essential to consider several key factors:
Below you will find information on our most popular materials.
Because every slab is a unique piece created by nature over millions of years, natural stone products are prized for their authenticity, character and exclusivity.
Marble
Features
A metamorphic rock prized for its distinctive veining and exceptional polishing ability, giving it an unrivalled luminosity.
Source
We work with materials from Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Brazil and India. Spain has varieties with international renown, such as Rojo Alicante and, in particular, Crema Valencia (quarried in Barxeta) — a warm-toned material with a classic elegance that is close to home.
Applications
Thanks to its elegance and natural beauty, marble is an excellent choice for a wide range of projects, particularly in bathrooms, but also for flooring, wall cladding and staircases.
Maintenance
As it is porous, we recommend cleaning up spills from strong liquids (oil, wine, citrus) promptly. Use mild, pH-neutral soaps and avoid acids. We also recommend applying a water-repellent sealant periodically.
Granite
Features
Granite is an igneous rock of great hardness, composed of quartz, feldspar and mica. It is extremely resistant to scratches, household acids and, above all, direct heat.
Source
Granite comes from a variety of sources. We use a great deal of granite from Spanish quarries, and our customers also choose imported materials from Italy, India and Brazil.
Applications
Granite is an excellent choice for kitchen worktops, bathrooms, flooring and wall cladding. It is also a popular material for outdoor projects.
Maintenance
Granite is one of the easiest materials to maintain. A regular clean with water and soap is all it needs. It can withstand direct contact with hot pots and pans, though we recommend using trivets to keep the finish looking its best for longer.
Engineered stone (also known as “artificial stone”) is an advanced material engineered to provide non-porous surfaces, guaranteeing maximum hygiene and stain resistance. It offers a design flexibility that natural stone sometimes cannot, particularly when it comes to solid colours and cutting-edge textures.
Quartz Composites
Features
Quartz composites are made primarily from natural quartz minerals (approximately 90–94%) blended with high-durability resins. The result is a surface of great hardness with exceptional resistance to impact and staining.
Popular brands
Applications
Along with porcelain and granite, it is one of the most widely used materials for kitchen worktops. Being more affordable than some other materials, it is also well suited to a wide range of other applications, including bathrooms and outdoor spaces.
Maintenance
Quartz requires minimal maintenance, a wipe with a damp cloth is usually all it needs. No sealing is required. It is important to avoid placing pots or pans taken directly from the heat onto the surface, as excessive heat can damage the resins.
Porcelain
Features
Porcelain slabs are manufactured through a sintering process that replicates in a matter of hours what nature takes millennia to create, using minerals subjected to extreme pressure and temperature. The result is an ultra-compact surface that is unaffected by UV rays, fire and even the most severe scratching.
Popular brands
Applications
Porcelain is suitable for both high-performance kitchen worktops and outdoor applications.
Maintenance
Porcelain requires only normal cleaning. It is resistant to almost all household cleaning products and will not burn or scratch, making it the most practical material for everyday life.
