            A guide to designing with onyx slabs

            Everything architects, designers and project teams need to know about sourcing, specifying and installing onyx slabs — material characteristics, recommended applications and long-term care from Marble Systems.

            Onyx is truly a piece of art. Due to their striking and extraordinary appearance, onyx slabs turn any modern space into the height of luxury. Ranging from neutral to vibrant colors, the stone's most definite feature is its bands of minerals.

            Onyx slabs are known for their incredible translucent hues. They range in a spectrum of colors, from whites and blacks to more vivid shades of green, pink, blue, and orange. In addition to their vibrant colors, onyx slabs stand out due to their bold banding. 

            An onyx wall is sure to be the focal point of any room, but it’s important to consider the pros and cons of onyx installations for walls, floors, and countertops first. 

            Here at Marble Systems, we only have the highest quality onyx slabs for sale. 

            Onyx Slabs Usage

            Onyx stone slabs are most commonly used for wall coverings in highly visible areas like hotel lobbies, public bathrooms, or home kitchens. Due to their translucency, they look incredible installed with backlighting or in a place that receives a lot of natural light. 

            As we already mentioned, onyx is one of the more fragile natural stones. Although onyx slabs can be installed as kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, or table and bar tops, we do not recommend it. As a result, we suggest that you carefully consider where you want to install your onyx slab.

            Onyx countertops are beautiful, but they’re best suited for low-use kitchens. If you love to cook and are in the kitchen for hours on end, consider a more durable natural stone countertop, like granite. 

            Onyx Slabs Advantages

            The main advantage of onyx slabs is their incredible and eye-catching beauty. With their vivid colors, translucency, and bold bands, natural onyx walls are sure to be the focal point of any room. 

            Onyx Slabs Disadvantages

            Despite their beauty, there are some disadvantages to installing onyx countertops and onyx wall coverings. Onyx is a soft, brittle stone, which means it scratches more easily than a hard stone like granite.

            Onyx kitchen countertops are also vulnerable to etching, which is surface damage caused by acids like coffee, lemon juice, or wine. You can safeguard your countertops by quickly cleaning spills and regularly re-sealing the surface. 

            Onyx Slabs Design

            This natural stone is simply stunning, with varieties of green onyx slabs, blue onyx slabs, white onyx slabs, and black onyx slabs all present in nature. Its natural vibrancy, rich bands, and translucency make it a piece of art.

            As onyx slabs are translucent, they softly diffuse light, imbuing a space with a soft, colorful glow. Hence, we suggest placing your onyx wall in a space that receives a lot of natural light, so its beauty can really shine. In turn, a backlit onyx wall or a lighted onyx slab is a great way to subtly brighten a dark room and create an ambient atmosphere. 

            When designing your interior, it’s important to consider the color and banding of your onyx slabs and whether it suits the space and lighting. A black onyx slab with lighting evokes a dark, moody aura and is less translucent. The warmth of honey onyx slabs pairs nicely with natural light, creating a welcoming atmosphere. 

            Onyx Slabs Maintenance

            Onyx countertops are high maintenance, as they’re susceptible to etching and scratching. 

            Avoid bringing your countertop in contact with acidic substances. Like with any natural stone, you should clean any spills immediately to prevent staining. To clean your natural onyx stone countertop, use a neutral, non-abrasive household cleaner, preferably one for natural stones. 

            To protect your natural onyx slab, we suggest regularly re-sealing. For an onyx kitchen countertop or an onyx bathroom countertop, it’s best to re-seal it once a year to protect the surface from staining. 

            Onyx Slabs Applications

            As onyx is a soft, brittle stone, its installation and application should be left to professionals. To give it more strength, we suggest installing an onyx slab with a fibreglass backing.
