Gris Pulpis

Gris Pulpis is a brown-grey Spanish marble with fine white veining and a homogeneous, elegant surface. At ROSSITTIS it is used for floors, stairs, bathrooms and façades where a warm grey stone with higher density and a calm effect is called for.

About Gris Pulpis

In colour, Gris Pulpis moves between grey, taupe and brown, which puts it among the stones that cannot simply be reduced to a single colour. It is precisely this mixture that makes it so interesting: the surface reads as warm but not beige, dark but not heavy. Added to this are fine, light lines that give the stone structure without making it restless. For demanding interior architecture that is a very strong profile.

The stone comes from Spain, from the province of Castellón, and is listed in the trade as a marble; geologically it is a limestone. Compared with Emperador types, Gris Pulpis appears more homogeneous and cooler; compared with Grigio Carnico, lighter and lower in contrast. That makes it particularly suitable for floors, wall claddings, stairs and bathrooms in which a warm, elegant natural stone surface is called for.

Suitability by application

Finishes

Gris Pulpis is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Poliert

Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung für Marmor und Kalkstein — eine glänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und ausgeprägter Tiefenwirkung der Aderung. Je nach mineralischer Zusammensetzung kann die Wirkung stellenweise mattglänzend sein. Säureempfindlich — Wein, Zitrone und Essig hinterlassen Ätzspuren bei längerer Einwirkung.

Satiniert

Die Oberfläche wird gebürstet — weichere Minerale werden gezielt entfernt, es entsteht eine subtile Tiefe und mattes Erscheinungsbild. Besonders geaderte Kalksteine erhalten so eine charaktervolle Optik und Haptik. Die mattere Veredelung kaschiert kleine Ätzungen besser als poliert und ist alltagstauglicher für stark beanspruchte Innenflächen.

Care & fabrication

Gris Pulpis should be sealed well in the kitchen, the bathroom and on heavily used surfaces. At around 0.27 % water absorption it is denser than many other limestones, but in everyday use it still clearly benefits from good stain protection.

For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and a soft microfibre cloth are suitable. Acidic cleaners, descalers and strong kitchen chemicals should be avoided.

Oil, wine, coffee and acidic foods should not be left to act for long. The surface finishes available in stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down. That way the surface stays more coherent and easier to maintain in the long term.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gris Pulpis suitable for the kitchen?

Yes, as a high-quality worktop that is possible. With around 2,660 kg/m³ bulk density, roughly 0.27 % water absorption and up to 147.5 MPa compressive strength the stone is respectably dense, but it remains acid-sensitive.

Which surfaces are available for Gris Pulpis?

The surface finishes available in stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.

Where does Gris Pulpis come from?

Gris Pulpis comes from Spain, from the province of Castellón. It is one of the well-known Spanish warm-grey marbles.

How do I clean and care for Gris Pulpis?

For cleaning and care you should use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and avoid acidic products. A sealer is worthwhile particularly in the kitchen and the bathroom.

Is Gris Pulpis frost-resistant?

Yes, the stone is regarded as frost-resistant. For external surfaces a matt, textured surface finish should nevertheless be preferred.

Gris Pulpis or Emperador?

Gris Pulpis appears greyer, calmer and somewhat cooler. Emperador types go more strongly towards brown and often show a livelier appearance.
