What are the primary indoor architectural applications for Joshaqan marble?
Thanks to its high polishability and light-reflecting surface, this stone is commonly specified for residential and hotel flooring, interior staircases, wall cladding, parking floors, and elevator surrounds. Its natural brightness helps illuminate interior spaces effectively.
What surface finishes and processing methods are available for Joshaqan marble?
The stone is processed in polished, honed, and leathered finishes to meet different aesthetic requirements. Structural processing options also include precise calibrated cutting along with resin or epoxy treatments to enhance slab consistency.
