BASALT

The basalt is a volcanic rock which is researched for building material.

It is very resistance and it does not have appreciable adsorption so the floors made by this material don’t need hard maintenance.

It can be used inside with classic finish like honed , polished or brushed surface or outside, with slippery resistance surface like : bush-hammered, sandblasted, chiselled.

The basalt surface has little characteristic holes which can be filled during grouting or it also possible to have filled surface from us.

    Where is basalt found?

    Basalt is a volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava. It is found in many parts of the world, especially in regions of volcanic origin such as Italy. In Italy, significant basalt deposits are found more specifically in Sardinia, Lazio, and Sicily, where it is quarried for use in construction and paving.

    Is basalt resistant to weathering?

    Absolutely yes. Thanks to its volcanic origin, basalt is highly resistant to rain, frost, and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for outdoor paving and façades.

    Does basalt require any special maintenance?

    No, it’s an extremely durable material and does not require intensive maintenance. For everyday cleaning, water and a neutral detergent are sufficient. Avoid using acidic or abrasive products so as not to alter the finish.

    Can basalt be used with underfloor heating?

    Yes, thanks to its excellent thermal conductivity, it’s perfect for use with underfloor heating systems, ensuring optimal heat distribution.

    Is basalt frost-resistant?

    Yes. Thanks to its compact structure and very low water absorption, it withstands below-zero temperatures and thermal shocks without issues, making it ideal for outdoor use-even in harsh climates.
