Marble Sinai Pearl

What is Sinai Pearl

Sinai Pearl is mined in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and is one of the most widely used beige materials in the international market. Geologically, it is limestone commercially traded in the category of marbles, as is the case for most Egyptian materials of this family. It is available in two versions, Dark and Bronze.

Features

• Geological type: limestone, commercially in the category of marbles
• Origin: Sinai Peninsula, Egypt
• Color: beige in warm tones
• Versions: Dark and Bronze
• Uniformity: high compared to Greek marbles, with a mild pattern
• Finish: in materials of this family, matte usually performs better than glossy

Where it is used

It is used in floors, wall cladding, and exterior surfaces, particularly where a large surface with a uniform appearance and warm tone is required. The steady availability from Egyptian quarries makes it a common choice in projects with large quantities.

What affects the price

As an imported material, the price of Sinai Pearl is affected by transportation and lead time: the cost varies depending on whether the material is in stock or needs to be ordered. Following are the version, Dark or Bronze, the thickness, and the surface treatment.

Maintenance

Here, waterproofing is not a recommendation but a requirement. Limestone is softer and more porous than marble, so it absorbs liquids much faster, and a stain from oil or wine that remains overnight may never come out. The matte finish hides wear better than the glossy.
