Quartzites

Mont Blanc

The history of the formation of Mont Blanc quartzite began in Bahia, around 1.7 billion years ago, in a semi-arid setting with landscapes full of dunes, lakes and rivers that ran towards the coast. The winds and rivers carried the sand into the lakes, which were gradually buried, accumulating grains of milky-colored quartz throughout the sea. This sedimentary dance organized the grains of sand into fluid forms, which, even after metamorphism, were preserved and will be forever recorded in the unparalleled beauty of the Mont Blanc quartzite.

The unique beauty of Mont Blanc quartzite is the result of this natural process that shaped its unmistakable characteristics over millions of years.

Where to use Mont Blanc quartzite?

Mont Blanc quartzite is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, both indoors and outdoors. Its natural beauty and strength make this stone a popular choice for sophisticated, modern design projects.

In indoor environments, Mont Blanc quartzite is ideal for covering kitchen countertops, gourmet islands, walls, floors, and even coffee tables. Its stain resistance and durability make it perfect for high-traffic, high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

In outdoor environments, Mont Blanc quartzite is an excellent choice for balconies, gardens, leisure areas, and facades. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and weather without losing its appearance and quality makes it a long-term solution for outdoor decoration.

Whatever the choice, Mont Blanc quartzite enhances any space with its natural beauty and unparalleled durability.

Petrographic Analysis

It consists of classifying the rock through the macroscopic and microscopic description of its characteristics, such as minerological composition, alteration, deformation and microcracking pattern.

Apparently density

Relationship between the mass and apparent volume of the rock. It provides the weight of the rock, being an important parameter for calculating loads in buildings.

Apparent porosity

It is the relationship between the volume of voids and the total volume of the rock expressed as a percentage.

Water absorption

It is the ability to assimilate or incorporate water into the rock, expressed as a percentage.

Abrasion resistance

Determines the wear rate due to friction of particles with the surface of a rock plate.

Bending resistance

Simulates flexural efforts in rock pacas, with predetermined thickness, in this case simulating the effect of wind on plates fixed to facades with metal anchors.
