Compac Unique Portoro: Inspirational Design & Marble History

Due to its distinctive golden-yellow veins over a black backdrop, Portoro is one of the most well-known Italian black limestones. It has been in use since the Roman period, primarily in Luni. Its use has been ubiquitous in Genoa since the Medieval Era. Starting in the Late 1700s and early 1800s, it frequently appeared in ecclesiastical structures all over Italy. It was widely prevalent overseas by the turn of the 20th century, especially in European countries. It came from several quarry locations close to La Spezia, but only five are currently open. This stone’s visual attractiveness comes from its stunning veins, which tend to bleach during ageing.

Compac, The Surfaces Company takes the history and distinctive character of the Black Portoro limestone, rediscovering an ancient stone and adding modern features to its surface.

Compac Unique Portoro is built to last for decades and has natural-looking surfaces to withstand the rigours of daily activities, cut, chop and slice in the most comfortable ways, and provide an easy-to-use surface for busy homeowners who don’t have time to maintain marble.

Compac Unique Portoro boasts a strength of 6.4 out of 10 on Moh’s scale of mineral resistance. It compares to a strength of 3 in Nero Portoro marble. Unique Portoro has particular resistance to banging and scuffing compared to Black Portoro marble. As a result, it’s an excellent floor covering and worktop material.
