Nivatus Extra belongs to the very light Greek marbles that work through purity and calm. The stone shows white to very light grey tones and relies on a clear, elegant effect in interiors rather than on pronounced veining. In bathrooms, on washbasin tops or as a light wall cladding in particular, this restraint can appear very high in quality.
The stone originates from Greece, from the area around Pirgon in the Drama region. In the trade Nivatus Extra is listed as a marble and is used in exactly that way: as a prestigious, light interior material with a high capacity for polishing. Compared with quartzite or granite, with Nivatus Extra visual purity clearly ranks above maximum everyday suitability.
Technically the material stands at around 2,820 kg/m³ bulk density, roughly 0.4 % water absorption, approximately 98.5 MPa compressive strength and about 6.3 MPa flexural strength. That suits interior applications such as washbasin tops, floors, walls and window sills well. For hectic kitchens and heavily loaded external areas it is a less obvious choice.
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down. At ROSSITTIS, Nivatus Extra is available as a raw slab, washbasin top, floor, window sill, wall cladding and further interior fit-out. As an alternative to Thassos or Sivec it appears, depending on the batch, somewhat softer and less dazzlingly white.
The honest assessment: Nivatus Extra is a light interior marble for controlled projects. Anyone looking for a robust white for the everyday kitchen is better served by granite or porcelain. Anyone who wants genuine light marble, however, receives precisely this clarity here.

Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Nivatus Extra is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polishing is the most classic finish for marble and limestone — a glossy surface with the highest possible colour intensity and a pronounced depth to the veining. Depending on the mineral composition, the effect can be matte-gloss in places. Acid-sensitive — wine, lemon and vinegar leave etch marks after prolonged contact.
As a light marble, Nivatus Extra should always be impregnated thoroughly. For cleaning and care, pH-neutral marble cleaners, water and a soft cloth are necessary. Coffee, red wine, cosmetics, lemon juice and acidic cleaners must be removed as quickly as possible or avoided altogether. On very light surfaces in particular, colouring substances and metal abrasion should not be left lying for long.
Only with restrictions. As a light marble, Nivatus Extra is more sensitive to acid and staining than granite or quartzite.

For cleaning and care you need a good impregnation, neutral cleaning agents and careful handling of acids and colouring substances.
Thassos is usually even purer white and more crystalline, Nivatus Extra somewhat softer in appearance.
The price depends on the batch, thickness, surface finish and fabrication — with natural stone there is no serious flat rate per square metre. Business customers see prices once their B2B account is activated; private customers receive a complete quote through a fabricator near them.
