I need to know what china de mármol is in English. It obviously has nothing to do with China.

marble pebbledash
DRAE defines 'china' as 'piedra pequeña y a veces redondeada', so it's gravel or chips.
http://dle.rae.es/china?m=form
Since this is being used to cover walls, I think it's pebbledash.
A marble with even beige and cream tones for a light pebbledashing finish.

If you're not sure about 'trituración', it's 'crushing'.

marblesheen
Marblesheen also known as Marblelite is a decorative coating applied to the surface of concrete pool shells with the average thickness between 5-25mm. It is primarily composed of white cement and white marble chips between 1-2mm in diameter. If the Marblesheen coating was applied prior to 1990, it may include asbestos.

| Thanks David, no it is not a church or cathedral, just normal business premises. Indeed, I can only find reference to marblesheen for pools. |

: I can only find this as a pool coating. If you Google 'marblesheen -pool', you get no relevant hits.
