Lepanto Red - red marble of natural origin

Technical characteristics of Lepanto Red

Geologically it is a metamorphic/sedimentary rock (calcite breccia) with a predominantly carbonate composition (calcite). Being a strictly carbonate matrix material, it is highly sensitive to food and chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices and anti-limescale detergents) and is subject to immediate clouding or corrosion when exposed to acidic substances. It has excellent compactness and good structural density; however, due to its complex and rich brecciated nature, the slabs benefit greatly from traditional vacuum resin and back screening processes during processing.

Applications in design

– luxury vertical flooring and cladding: an excellent choice for creating interior flooring, skirting, cornices, and wall cladding in prestigious residences, high-end hotels, and state-of-the-art boutiques.

– bookmatch compositions: the strong definition of the white veined lattice on the cherry-burgundy background enhances its mirrored pose for the creation of scenographic accent walls in salons and reception areas.

– designer bathroom and vanity top rooms: highly appreciated for scenic vanity tops, shower wall coverings and bathtubs (subject to the application of suitable stain-resistant protective treatments).

– architectural and interior design elements: perfect for creating tops for dining tables, consoles, portals, art inlays, and classic and contemporary fireplace surrounds.
