The 3D scene is generated in real time from an actual photograph of the slab and is intended as a guide. In natural stone the veining, tone and texture differ on every slab; the final choice should be made on a physical sample or slab approval.
Colour range sampled from the slab
Copacabana is a remarkable stone — one of nature's most graceful pieces of work. The colourful, undulating patterns over its bright white ground create a warm, energetic atmosphere. Used indoors and out, it lends spaces vitality and character, and is particularly favoured for floors, wall cladding and worktops. Copacabana appeals to those drawn to a modern, tropical aesthetic, and has the power to give a scheme real character.
Care note
Quartzite is very hard and stands up well to daily use. Even so, because it is porous, impregnation every 2–3 years is recommended; a neutral pH cleaner is enough.
