Questions about Red Chigen
Where is Red Chigen from?
Red Chigen is an imported marble. We confirm the country of origin for each lot when you enquire, and we do not state it here until it is confirmed. Akrruthi sells every stone under its true origin.
Is Red Chigen good for kitchen countertops?
No. Red Chigen is not suited to a kitchen counter. For a counter, choose granite and keep Red Chigen for feature walls and flooring borders and inlays.
Which finish is best for Red Chigen?
Red Chigen can take these finishes: polished and honed. It is most often sold polished. Polished shows colour and pattern most strongly; honed and textured finishes are matt and give more grip. Ask which finish is available in the lot you choose.
How do I clean and maintain Red Chigen?
Maintenance is high. Dark polish shows scratches and etching. Seal and use door mats. Avoid acidic and bleach-based cleaners on natural stone.
