Nowadays, in designing a building or a building infrastructure, the choice of matierals overall is closely linked with their physical and mechanical characteristics, which bear significant weight in the engineer\u2019s calculations towards the stability and durability of the project. Needless to say, exactly for its characteristics, porphyry is used for both interior and exterior areas, such as commercial sites and dwelling places, as well as old towns and squares, but also for many other different purposes, such as design objects, furniture, steps, and the like. All of products keep porphyry\u2019s most important features unchanged in the course of time. What is more, the surface does not change and doest not need regeneration treatment as in the case of other stones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High abrasion resistance that grants non-slippery properties;<\/li>\n<li>High wear resistance which allows to avoid aging;<\/li>\n<li>Surface regularity, which makes treading comfortable and pleasing;<\/li>\n<li>Low absorption of water and other substances that could spoil its qualities and that guarantee a particular resistance to the strongest agents, not only the atmospheric ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>hyry is never evenly coloured, its variations are unique and everlasting. As no toxic substances are used, all of the production phases are eco-friendly. This also preserves porphyry\u2019s beautiful natural features.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>PRODUCT LINE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Striving for excellence, has been created some product lines that underline the unique features of our products thanks to the help of Steinex\u2019 splitting machines.
