This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 122″ × 66″, about 56 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is cream. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Portugal.

The textured finish has a tactile face rather than a gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are floors, wall cladding, and vanities. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed.

The material

Limestone is a sedimentary stone, usually calmer in pattern than marble, with a soft mineral color. It is more porous than granite and is a frequent choice for floors, cladding, and vanities. Honed and brushed finishes suit its matte character. Acidic products can etch it, and a sealer is often part of the care plan. Slabs from the same lot are the right set to compare for shade before they are cut.

About Smi Rijo Claire Raked

Smi Rijo Claire Raked presents a soft, creamy ground washed with delicate blush and pale peach clouds. Instead of defined veins, the color shifts gently across the slab in hazy patches, with a lighter, whitish area near the center adding quiet contrast. The raked finish shows fine, horizontal grooves that give the surface a subtle linear texture and a warm, tactile character. Quarried in Portugal, this natural limestone has an understated, calming presence that suits many design styles. It works well for interior wall cladding, feature walls, flooring, and fireplace surrounds, and it can also be used in sheltered outdoor areas where a refined, textured look is wanted.
