History of marble     The marble has been used since ancient times as a material for sculpture and for architecture. The low refractive index of calcite, the main component, allows light to “penetrate” the surface of the stone before it is reflected, and gives this material (and especially white marbles) a special luminosity. The term marble derives from the Greek marmaros, which means “resplendent stone”, in antiquity it indicated any “lustrable” stone, that is to say, the surface of which could be lustered by means of polishing. Geology of marbles the marble (in the modern sense) are initially hard, metamorphic limestones with very low porosity; they are all of lower “Devonian” or lower “Carboniferous” age and deposited in an interval of 50 million years, between 380 and 330 million years. Subsequent to their deposition, they would have undergone a complete crystallization under the influence of physico-chemical phenomena called “metamorphism”, in which the pressure, temperature and action of vapors from the deep parts of the globe intervene. Greek marble     Ancient Greece possessed many marble quarries, with many precious varieties of ancient white marbles (Thasos, Paros, Naxos, Pentelic). Marble was therefore widely diffused since the beginnings of Greek art. The Greek temples originally made of wood, covered with baked clay painted in bright colors will gradually be built in marble (in the Cyclades) or in gray limestone (in the Peloponnese) thus reaching exceptional and monumental dimensions. In this new architecture, everything from stone, including framework, functional elements, reach a […]

What’s RESIMARMO® ?       What ? The RESIMARMO® characteristics consist of 95% marble aggregates mixed with a polymer binder (5% product). It guarantees not only decorative characteristics but also high drainage. The characteristics of the marble + resin granulate make it easily adaptable to complex geometrical situations. In addition, the variety of colors available allows you to make drawings or patterns of all kinds. The ease of processing and installation is conducive to both geometric and oblong shapes. The only limit will be your imagination: RESIMARMO® allows you to create surfaces that meet the basic requirements. The main features are:   RAINING The high degree of drainage capacity is one of the strengths of RESIMARMO® and depends on the particular size of the aggregates. The rapid drying of the material is provided by the space between the aggregates for easy passage of water.  SUSTAINABLE The materials used for making RESIMARMO® floors are of high quality. The marble stones are carefully selected and guarantee the strength of our works.  ADHERENT The characteristics of adherence of RESIMARMO® make it possible to reduce the falls or slips on wet surfaces. The loss of adherence due to water is completely cancelled with RESIFIX® making it the safest flooring  UV RESISTANT The RESIMARMO® surfaces, even when exposed to intense light, no jaundice. The aliphatic RESIFIX® component is able to stop and neutralize the action of UV rays. The characteristics STAIN RESIFIX® gives an impermeable soil protection to water for marble rollers. This specials characteristics gives RESIMARMO® […]
