About Nero Assoluto Belfast

Nero Assoluto Belfast belongs to the family of black Assoluto materials, which draw their effect from density, calm and even colour. The stone appears black to dark anthracite, depending on the finish with a slightly silvery undertone. Precisely for kitchens, façades and stairs this clarity is much sought after.

The stone comes from South Africa. Petrographically it is a gabbro; in trade Nero Assoluto Belfast is carried as granite, like other black Assoluto grades. That corresponds to its use as a hard, dense black stone for demanding interior and exterior applications.

Suitability by application

Finishes

Nero Assoluto Belfast is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.

Polished

Polishing is the most classic finish in the hard stone segment — a mirror-smooth, high-gloss surface with the highest possible colour intensity and maximum depth effect in the mineral structure. As an acid-resistant silicate stone, polished granite is easy to care for and the first choice for kitchen worktops, wall claddings and prestigious exposed surfaces.

Satin-honed

The satin surface is created by brushing, which selectively removes softer minerals and gives the surface a slight depth. A matte appearance with subtle light reflection and a warm feel to the touch. Easy to maintain, insensitive to scratches and suited to everyday use — a popular alternative to a polish in modern kitchens and living spaces.

Anticato, treated

A special finish for Nero Assoluto Zimbabwe: flamed and intensively brushed with an additional colour-enhancing treatment — a rustic, lively look in a particularly intense black. Recommended for kitchens and for interior wall and floor cladding with an expressive, dark material character.

Care & fabrication

As a dense black stone, Nero Assoluto Belfast is relatively easy to care for, but should be cleanly impregnated in kitchens. For cleaning and care, neutral natural stone cleaners, water and a soft cloth are suitable. Limescale, grease and dust should be removed regularly so that no streaks remain visible. Avoid harsh scouring agents and impact loading on edges and cut-outs.
