KK Project Group supply marble directly from quarries.
Marble is unique and unrepeatable stone material that is matured over millions of years. Every stone’s block and slab is differently special and waiting only to be revealed by the specialist of the staff of KK Project Group.KK Project Group with it marble division KK Marble Contractor offers an ample range of marble from budget solutions, medium and for arriving to top solution with the best selection of stone’s material. The choice of marble is often an intuitive decision, stemming from emotional impact and creating a sort of symbiotic relationship between the material and the artist-craftsman who works it. Fragile and robust stone at the same time, the marble was born in the depths of the Earth, destined to continue slowly changing for ever. This metamorphosis pinnacles in the creation of works of eternal beauty. Re-energised by their new forms, the great stones integrate themselves into their new surroundings, settling into our homes. The “book-matched marble” manufacturing technique, in which the slab of stone is split open like the pages of a book, creates a spectacular effect and seamlessly consistent mood, the veins in the marble running along the surfaces in perfect symmetry.
Marble is a metamorphic rock of stone with a crystalline limestone structure formed by the combined action of high pressures and very high temperatures. The stone of marble may be pure (metamorphic origin) or re-composed (sedimentary origin). Marble is not particularly hard (3-4 on the Mohs scale) and is characterized by some degree of variability in the granulometry of components and color shades. The colour of marble’s stone depends on the presence of mineral impurities (clay, silt, sand, iron oxides and flint/chert nodules); white marble’s stone does not contain these impurities.
White marble’s stone has been prized for its use in sculptures since classical times. This preference has to do with marble’s softness, which made marble easier to carve, relative isotropy and homogeneity, and a relative resistance to shattering.
