Marble,Limestone, Travertine and Onyx
Even though there are differences among these materials in regard to the "wearability", i.e. absorption, compressive strength, abrasive hardness, etc., they can still be considered as one for ease of understanding.

Agglomerate and Terrazzo
Agglomerate and Terrazzo can be made of different aggregate chips such as marble, granite, quartz or onyx, in a cementitious or resinous (epoxy, polyester) matrix. Both the aggregate and matrix determine their hardness, durability and absorption. To guarantee their long-lasting beauty, a Preventive Maintenance Program is needed. HMK®'s Three Step Program allows to (1) clean the surface after the installation, (2) protect it against infiltration of dirt, liquids, food, and (3) maintain the natural beauty in an easy, safe and economical way.
