Granite is a material with exceptional technical qualities that allow it to be used in any climate, for outdoor as for indoor, floor or wall application, in a structural use as thin skins. It has no limitations to the range of applications thanks to its high level of resistance, to the many surface finishes, to its aesthetic and its great workability.
Our quarries give us the colors ranging from light gray to beige with more or less accentuated pink or dove gray tones. The characteristics of our quarries and extraction techniques allow us to produce large blocks with color and physical consistency and with absolute control of the supply chain even for orders of many thousands of cubic meters
all with reduced economic costs and very competitive with other stone materials.
Basalt is a material with excellent technical qualities and, depending on the types, it can be used for both exterior and interior applications in both vertical and horizontal surfaces; it is suitable for both structural use than thin veneers and is worked both in splitted or in different mechanical finishes.
Our quarries produce various colors ranging from dark gray to medium gray with shades of brown/red. The material is characterized by the presence of veins, blowholes and porosity. Basalt is a very suitable material for paving and urban design in the historic centers, including areas of high pedestrian traffic and driveways and, in its various formats, containment works and flooring in green areas and public parks.
The trachyte is a material with interesting physical and aesthetic characteristics. In Sardinia, the Romans began to exploit it for the construction of thermal baths, thanks to the proximity of the quarries to the spa areas, also for its characteristic of slip resistance when used on the floor (for the same reasons it is also widely used in Japan in the onsen). Due to its ease of extraction and processing and for its aesthetic trachyte has often been the material of choice for both the construction of the Romanesque churches and for some of the most interesting rationalists projects. Almost exclusively used in cladding it is suitable for split or structured products. VIR quarries, located in various areas of Sardinia, produce light green, medium gray, red and yellow ocher trachytes.
