Names explained

Nano white

Nano white is a pure white slab sold under many names: nano white marble, nano white granite, nano white stone and, in India, nano white pathar. All of these names describe the same material: solid crystallized glass. It is made in a factory, not cut from a quarry.

Not natural stone

Why it is not marble or granite

  • Marble and granite are natural stones from a quarry. Nano white is made in a factory.
  • It absorbs almost no water: 0.001 % in test report WT2023B01G01016.
  • Natural stone changes from block to block. Our slabs keep a consistent colour from batch to batch.
  • A solid slab is the same white all the way through.
