Color diversity and durability for Architecture and Landscaping

Porphyry is a fascinating natural stone known for its volcanic origin, high resilience, and distinctive color variety. Thanks to its robustness, slip resistance and weather resistance, it is ideal for garden and landscaping as well as various architectural applications. Whether used as paving, floor tiles, wall stones, or design elements – Porphyry combines aesthetics, durability, and sustainability.

The color palette of belgrano® Porphyry ranges from warm red tones to subtle violet and brown hues, all the way to gray and beige shades. These natural variations arise from mineral inclusions such as quartz, feldspar, and mica, and blend harmoniously into various design concepts. Frost-resistant, easy to maintain, and featuring a unique texture, Porphyry is an exclusive choice for projects that combine natural beauty with exceptional durability.
