Resin & mesh reinforcement
Resin fills natural pores and fine fissures; fibreglass mesh strengthens the back.
Like most breccia marbles, Breccia Aurora carries natural pores and fine fissures where the fragments meet. They are part of its character, but they need support before the slab is polished, cut and shipped.
After sawing, each slab is dried and resin is brushed into the surface to fill the pores and hairline fissures. A fibreglass mesh is bonded to the back for extra strength. The slabs then cure flat on trolleys before going to the polishing line.
| Stage | Reinforcement |
|---|---|
| Input | Sawn slabs, 3/4" (2 cm) |
| Output | Resined slabs with mesh-backed reverse |
| Next | Polishing line |
What we check
- Slab fully dry before resin goes on
- Resin worked into pores and hairline fissures
- Mesh bonded evenly across the back
- Full cure before polishing
What you get
- Stronger slabs for cutting, transport and installation
- A smoother, more even polished surface
- Fewer breakages in cutting and shipping

Why it matters
Resin and mesh reinforcement
Breccia is beautiful because it is made of fragments, and that is also why it needs care. Good resin work is invisible on the finished slab, but it is what lets a 96" × 48" piece of breccia travel across the world and arrive in one piece.
The full process
More steps
STEP 03Polishing & finishing
An automatic line brings each slab to polished, honed, matt or leathered.
STEP 04Quality inspection
Every slab is checked, measured, photographed and numbered before it is offered.
STEP 05Tile dry-lay
Cut tiles are laid out in sequence on the floor, so the pattern flows.
STEP 06Project layout
Vanity tops, skirting, sills and trims cut to your drawing and checked together.
STEP 01Block selection
Every slab starts as a numbered block, chosen for colour and soundness.
