For those that think Big, Slim or Green, Sintered Compact Surfaces is the current hot issue in the A&D community worldwide. This course explains what Sintered Compact Surfaces are, what are they made of, how are they manufactured, cut and installed, why are they substituting more traditional product categories within the construction sector, where can they be applied and what professionals think about it. Attendees will gain understanding of this product trend that has successfully made its way in Europe, regardless of the economic and construction crisis, and that landed recently in North America maybe to become the next big thing.
