belgrano® volcanic stone as a sustainable solution for architecture and landscape construction.

Volcanic stones such as basalt and andesite impress with their natural origin and are characterized by their hardness, durability, and aesthetic variety. Thanks to these properties, they are ideal materials for garden and landscape construction as well as for a wide range of architectural projects. Frost- and weather-resistant, as well as virtually maintenance-free, they offer sustainable solutions for various applications, such as pathways, squares, stairs, interior floors, and architectural accents.

The color spectrum of volcanic stone ranges from dark gray to black and is shaped by minerals such as pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase. Depending on the composition and oxidation processes, lighter gray, reddish, or greenish tones can also emerge, allowing for versatile and harmonious integration into various design concepts.
