Some of the most popular patterns are multi-colored finishes which allow for natural color variation that is inherent in most stone. Unlike other products that utilize colored water or washes which easily fade over time, a micronized version of Thermocromex is used, utilizing only non-fading powdered pigments ensuring that the original appearance is unchanged 100 years later. With a wide range of standard colors available, custom coloring is always an option.
