Real Cream

Zoom

General Characteristics
Marmored limestone, in wich one are seen fossils rests; compact, very fine grain and cream colour with white concreted ones, having varieties such strak, cloudy, flowered.
About its extraction, in medium and big size blocks, is made in Paraje de la Loma del Pino, Loja (Granada), in working fronts of quarries of great dimensions, of several banks.
About its superficial emdimg, take any suggested type of this kind of stones, its use must be adapted to the current rules on limestones what take shine form the polish.
Take very shine, uniform, and the obtained polished is very resistant and this material is very good to be used in multitude of works as plated, flooringed, etc.


Representative works made in this material:

Centro Comercial Montes Pyrenees (Andorra)
Residencial Aixa (Granada)
