 What is 2
COMPAC marble?
COMPAC marble is the
result of a special stone
processing technology,
applied to a selection
of Spanish marbles,
from quarries located
in Southeast Spain,
which have specific
characteristics that, once
treated chemically and
technologically, are able
to substantially improve
the properties of the
natural marble, keeping all
natural marble essence,
but extending the field of
applications, increasing
colour consistency, and
providing. better building
solutions, in residential
as well as commercial
projects
ADVANTAGES
• Withstand humidity better
• Excellent pattern consistency

OF SPANISH
• Worldwide accredited the outstanding technical characteristics
• Highest resistance to impact, vibrations and handling, amongst
natural marbles

MARBLES • Exceptionally solid, with such compressive strength that can

hardly be disintegrated

SPECIFICATIONS OF COMPAC MARBLE FROM SPAIN

• Beauty, elegance and luxurious appearance
• Durability, maximum level of marble hardness, resistant to
denting, chipping, abrasion and staining (under normal use
and proper maintenance)
• Lower cost, compared with other marble processing and
supplying facilities
• Harmonised look, due to its finish and homogeneous design
• Extraordinary endurance to heat, as resin content is very low
• Resistant to water, mildew and most biological agents
• Simple and easy installation, as natural stone
• Less porous than any other marbles
Specialists prefer COMPAC technological marble-
because of its characteristics and quality:
