Origin
Origin, composition and appearance
Baltic Brown is a trade name generally associated with quarries in Finland. Country, quarry and grade are still checked against the lot available in Morocco before ordering.
Its brown background shows large circular crystals. As with every natural stone, pattern density and shade vary from slab to slab.
Granite
From quarry block to installed piece
This natural stone is not manufactured like a composite surface. It is quarried and then processed for the project.
- 1
Block extraction
Blocks are quarried and sorted for structure, colour and consistency.
- 2
Slab sawing
Blocks are sawn into slabs. Depending on the stone, drying, filling or resin reinforcement may be applied.
- 3
Surface finish
The surface is calibrated and receives a polished or honed finish for the required appearance and slip resistance.
- 4
Cutting and installation
The approved slab is cut to size, edge-finished, transported and installed with joints and treatments suited to the Marrakech project.
Strengths
- Very good resistance to everyday abrasion and scratching.
- Low absorption in many varieties and straightforward care.
- Suitable for worktops, busy floors and outdoor projects.
Points to consider
- Heavy material that requires more demanding cutting and fabrication.
- Joints, edges and cut-outs require suitable professional tools.
- Colour and structure vary; some slabs receive resin treatment.

Recommended applications
Our advice before ordering
Always approve the actual slab. Two lots sold under the same name may differ in shade, veining, microfissures and porosity. We also confirm thickness, finish, treatment and intended use before quoting.
