Granite, quartzite and hard marble slabs resin treatment for improved resistance and durability

Structural reinforcement treatment before finishing processes.

Resin treatment is a process applied to granite, marble, quartzite and hybrid materials to improve their resistance, compactness and aesthetic appeal. It is essential for high-quality marble and granite intended for use as flooring, wall cladding and kitchen worktops.

Special high-quality Italian epoxy resins are used for this treatment; able to repairing micro-cracks, porosity and imperfections present in natural stone, making it more uniform and solid.

BIG Graniti provides various types of resin coating, including:

  • Resin coating using special resins for light-coloured quartzite.
    A treatment designed to harmonise the surface of the most delicate quartzites.
  • Vacuum resin treatment.
    The vacuum resin treatment allows the resin to penetrate deep into the micro-pores of the natural stone, increasing the slab’s structural compactness and stability.

Steps involved in resin coating on slabs of quartzite, granite and hard marble.

  • 1
    Cleaning and drying.
    The slab is thoroughly washed and dried to remove dust and impurities.
  • 2
    Coating with resin.
    An Italian epoxy resin is applied to the surface, penetrating deep into the micro-cracks.
  • 3
    Curing.
    The slab is left to dry until the treatment has fully hardened and stabilised.

Improving the performance of granite, quartzite and hard marble slabs: the technical benefits of resin treatment

  • Increases the mechanical resistance of the slab;
  • Improves the appearance by removing imperfections and uniforming the colour;
  • Reduces liquid absorption by making the slab less porous;
  • Makes processing and cutting easier, reducing the risk of breakage;

Processing and finishing of quartzite, granite and hard marble slabs

Fiberglass mesh reinforcement

Back structural reinforcement to increase resistance.

Application of fibreglass mesh to the back of the slab to increase its resistance and protect it from breakage or stress. The mesh is often integrated with the resin coating for maximum effectiveness.

Improved mechanical resistance and aesthetic consistency.

Treatment based on epoxy resins, applied to the entire slab to fill pores and micro-cracks. It improves mechanical resistance and aesthetic uniformity. Suitable for delicate or decorative materials.

Reconstruction and reassembly

Process for restoring damaged material.

Manual restoration carried out to restore missing or damaged sections, using original fragments and traditional craftsmanship. Ideal for enhancing slabs with localised defects.
