Description

Historically the dolomite from Orgita has been used for exterior finishing and for carved stones (for example in Tallinn’s Dome Church and Tallinn’s St. Nicholas Church). Nowadays it’s also valued as a stone to use in interior decoration.

The slip resistance of honed dolomite Orgita is as follows: 61.5 for dry surface and 51.2 for wet surface. The dry surface value corresponds to rating P5 (R13) and the wet surface value corresponds to P4 (R12). The ratings P5/R13 indicate greatest level of slip resistance and very low risk of slip. The ratings P4/R12 indicate low risk of slip. Tests were performed in the Stone Pole Oy laboratory in Finland.

Explanation of falling lengths

In case of falling lengths, the tile’s length and width are determined, but its length will vary:

for the 200 mm tile between 350-600 mm;
for the 300 mm tile between 450-700 mm;
for the 400 mm tile between 450-800 mm.

You can find more information about the falling lengths here.

Care instructions

Natural stone is a relatively delicate and sensitive material and any objects harder than the stone can scratch its surface. The surface of the stone can be cleaned either with pure water or special cleaning agents.

In case of interior use and not very damp rooms, it is recommended to wax the stone. The layer of wax will protect the surface from getting dirty. Here you can get a more detailed overview of caring for natural stone.
