About Jura gelb gebändert

Jura Gelb banded comes from the Franconian Jura in Bavaria and is one of the best-known and most widely worked German natural stones. It belongs to the group of Jura limestones, which were deposited in the Upper Jurassic some 150 million years ago in a tropical shallow sea. The characteristic bands – horizontal stripes in yellow, golden brown and light beige – are the direct image of these sediment layers.

The warm, sunny ground colour of Jura Gelb banded makes it one of the most popular limestones for prestige surfaces: it is found in traditional Bavarian farmhouses just as much as in contemporary architecture and international projects. The colouring harmonises particularly well with timber tones, warm render tones and Mediterranean interior concepts.

Finishes

Jura gelb gebändert 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.

Care & fabrication

Jura Gelb banded should be sealed after installation and cared for regularly with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner. Limestone reacts sensitively to acids – take up lemon juice, vinegar or descaler at once. For daily cleaning a soft cloth with clear water is sufficient. In some batches the warm colouring can vary slightly in lightness through moisture.
