About Fantazia Sylvia
Sylvia is the veined, livelier cousin of Sunny from the same Minya area; the Fantazia selection is chosen for stronger, wavier vein movement that suits bookmatched walls and reception areas. Suppliers describe the stone as showing colour shifts when sunlight hits it, so view it in daylight and approve a reference range for feature work. It is a limestone sold as marble and should be sealed, especially in wet rooms. Tumbled and brushed finishes are offered, but the stone is mostly specified for interiors where the veining can be seen. Contact us for available sizes and finishes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Fantazia Sylvia the same as Silvia Menia?
They are the same Minya stone family. Silvia or Sylvia is the base name used across the Egyptian trade; Fantazia Sylvia is a selection with more pronounced veining. Ask for photos of the actual bundle, since vein density varies block to block.
Can Sylvia marble be used in bathrooms?
Yes, it is commonly used for bathroom walls, shower surrounds and vanity tops. As a limestone it needs sealing, a pH-neutral cleaner and a honed or brushed surface on floors to limit slipperiness when wet.
