About Kabos

Kabos comes from Greece and is one of the pale Mediterranean marbles that have had their place in European architecture since antiquity. The colouring moves in the spectrum from a warm white cream through light beige to restrained grey veining, which enlivens the slab image without dominating it.

As a Greek marble, Kabos brings a long tradition of craftsmanship with it: Greece is one of the historically most important marble-producing countries in Europe, and the geological particularities of the region – tectonic pressure conditions and mineral composition – yield a stone with an even crystal structure and good polishability.

Finishes

Kabos 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

Marble such as Kabos reacts sensitively to acids. Wipe up acidic substances such as lemon juice, vinegar or wine at once – do not let them act. Seal after installation and clean regularly with a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner. Avoid abrasives. For daily care a soft cloth, clear water and a suitable stone care product are sufficient.

How do I care for Kabos?

Seal it, use a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner, no acidic products, no abrasives.

What distinguishes Kabos from other Greek marbles?
