Dear customers and business partners!
There is no substitute for the original. Two recent scientific studies confirm what we have known for a long time: natural stone is the perfect choice for outdoor and indoor floor coverings. In addition to its individual appearance and durability, a floor made of granite, limestone or another high-quality stone also scores points ecologically.
In a nutshell, the most important finding from the studies is that natural stone is an excellent, natural building material for indoor floors and stairs, but it is also your perfect choice for a more sustainable lifestyle on terraces, around the pool, on paths and driveways.
Out of responsibility for future generations: Natural stone floor coverings are durable and ecological.
Black on white: the benefits of natural stone are scientifically proven.
In two scientific studies, the German Natural Stone Association DNV had different floor coverings for indoors and outdoors examined. It turned out that natural stone is not only "felt" to be a perfect material for living rooms, terraces, stairs and many other projects.
Travertine gives this outdoor area with pool a Mediterranean flair.
For your favorite place: natural stone flooring is attractive and easy to maintain.
Natural stone is ready-made by nature and requires little energy and water for extraction in the quarry and further processing in natural stone factories. Because stone is not fired like ceramics or the cement contained in artificial stone, the energy requirement is much lower. Chemical additives, plasticizers and other substances contained in soft floor coverings such as carpet or PVC floor coverings can also be completely dispensed with.
Jura limestone in the bathroom is a durable companion for decades.
In addition to the ecological benefits of extraction and processing, a floor made of granite, limestone, marble, quartzite or another natural stone also scores points during use. When using the right stone for the respective application, a natural stone floor covering is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also easy to maintain and durable. At the end of their service life, the stones can be easily processed into gravel or even recycled and reused. Natural stone has no harmful effects on the environment.
Stress-free: Customized floor tiles made of slip-resistant Nero Assoluto.
Ecological by nature: raw blocks from our exclusive Kanfanar.
The natural stone raw material is cut from the rock in an energy and environmentally friendly way.
The two studies focused on the impact of the individual floor coverings with regard to the greenhouse effect. While natural stone flooring can be used for at least 50 years on average, carpet can only be used for ten years, laminate and PVC for 20 years each, and parquet is estimated to have a useful life of 40 years.
The direct comparison of global warming potential (GWP) showed considerable ecological advantages in favor of natural stone: the climate impact of a natural stone floor slab is approx. 84% lower than that of large ceramic tiles. Natural stone is also a much better and more environmentally friendly choice than a floor made of cast stone.
