NC Marmi’s Lightweight Marble 10+5 has joined the Hub of Verified Solutions, with the verification of a natural stone product for sustainable yacht design.
The Water Revolution Foundation verification framework evaluates each solution against the prevailing industry standard, providing the sector with honest, evidence-based assessment of environmental credentials. NC Marmi’s inclusion reflects that commitment, with a Life Cycle Assessment conducted by 2B, overseen by Water Revolution Foundation, and independently peer reviewed by TETS Institute, a University of Genoa spinoff.
NC Marmi Lightweight Marble 10+5
Developed through a marriage of Italian stone craftsmanship and aerospace-derived engineering, the Lightweight Marble 10+5 bonds a 5mm marble facing to a 10mm aluminium honeycomb core, producing a composite panel up to 70% lighter than a conventional solid marble slab. All the visual and tactile qualities of natural stone are retained. The material load on the vessel is not.
Measured against conventional marble specification, the assessment found:
- A weight reduction of up to 70%, with direct implications for onboard fuel efficiency and emissions
- High bending strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability suited to the demands of the marine environment
- Long-term structural integrity through precision bonding and high-performance adhesives
In a sector where interior specification decisions have real consequences for a vessel’s environmental footprint, independently verified data gives designers and builders the evidence they need to make informed material choices.
