This marble opus sectile pavement uses white marble polished to an egg-shell patina and finished with a mosaic border. De Ferranti’s opus sectile pavements can also be produced in cream, ivory or white limestone, Kota stone, black limestone, tuffo and terracotta, subject to project specification. The interlocking pieces are supplied over a cement backing to assist installation and create a continuous floor. The design has Roman origins and forms part of De Ferranti’s Pavimenti Collection.

Marble Opus Sectile Pavement in Detail

Marble Opus Sectile Pavement with border uses opus sectile as a linear decorative device. Shaped stone elements allow the motif to flow along the border without being reduced to a square grid, while the surrounding field can remain comparatively quiet. Border width, repeat length and junctions at corners should be established from drawings before fabrication.

Within the same collection, Onyx & Limestone Opus Sectile Panel (mod A.55300001) and Lapis Opus Sectile Panel with Checker Frame offer useful comparisons in scale, colour and repeat. The wider Opus Sectile – Roman-Inspired Stone Marquetry for Walls & Floors is also relevant when a project needs to coordinate this surface with other patterned pavements rather than treat it as an isolated decorative insert.

Planning the Surface

The recorded applications include flooring, kitchens, tabletops, restaurants and commercial. For the marble opus sectile pavement, review the composition as a complete drawing or sample so that the larger shaped pieces align correctly with borders and surrounding surfaces. Where wet, exterior or high-use settings are proposed, the selected stone, backing, finish and fixing method should be assessed for that project before specification.
