1. It has a very low water absorption which makes it absolutely suitable for outdoor projects especially in cold environments because it is FROST FREE. There is no hymidity witheld inside the marble to expand below -4oC. As a result it does not break in very low temparatures.
2. Durable. After 48 freeze-thaw cycles it does not lose anything of its strength.
3. Crystalline structure. It is heterogeneous allowing the better defusing of natural tensions without affecting the shape of the marble. It is due to this characteristic that Gortynis appears NO bowing effects making ideal for wall covering of buildings.
