Porphyry

Porphyry, a volcanic rock from the so-called Bozen Quartz Porphyry, is the only rock that has a natural quarry surface.
 
Thanks to its excellent physical-mechanical characteristics and the wide range of colours, porphyry is a very versatile product. 
It can be used in many different applications where it can guarantee excellent results even in more complex architectural projects.

The most important characteristics of porphyry are:

• high tensile compression strength
• excellent resistance to chemical agents
• significant sliding and rolling friction

The most popular Italian porphyry? The kind found inTrentino

The most popular  Italian porphyry  is certainly the kind found in Trentino. Its structural characteristics, fundamentally important in the external flooring industry (resistance to wear, durability, frost resistance), combined with the variety of colours and natural roughness make this stone the queen of stone materials. 
Porphyry is therefore used for any kind of flooring, from simple pavements to roads and squares  that are subject to intense and continuous heavy traffic.
