Thanks to Puro Marazzi Antibacterial technology, which eliminates up to 99.9 percent of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms from surfaces, The Top slabs can also be used for surfaces in contact with food, guaranteeing maximum levels of hygiene and safety.

 

3D Ink digital printing recreates textural texture

The Marazzi The Top collection is enriched with two new marble essences (Patagonia and Taj Mahal), five stone effects (Travertino, declined in four colors including the unprecedented red, Breccia Imperiale, Berici, Bahia Black and Silver Root) and the cement effect of the Cementum collection, now also available in large slab

These new essences show Marazzi's attention to recreating the material structure and color definition of the original material.

The Patagonia marble essence cites Permatite, a material of volcanic origin that combines granite minerals and quartz in fascinating macro-geometries, while Taj Mahal recalls white Brazilian quartzite with a neutral, warm background and transparency reminiscent of onyx. These are two surfaces with a refined aesthetic impact, capable of bold combinations, with stone-effect essences or dark marbles, or associated with woods and concrete effects. The Bahia Black essence recalls Brazilian quartzite, with shades in deep black tones, Silver Root on the other hand Turkish marble, while Breccia Imperiale evokes another quartzitic stone of Brazilian origin, with warm tones on gray and a texture punctuated by white pebbles and veins. 

Surface effects enhanced by 3D Ink digital printing technology, which enables the perfect match between graphics and three-dimensional surface textures, different in each individual slab.
