Anyone designing interiors for clinics, cultural centers or public buildings is thinking far beyond appearance. Materials must withstand heavy use, be easy to maintain and preserve both function and aesthetics over decades. With these criteria in mind, belgrano® stands out:
Durability and Longevity
belgrano® natural stone impresses with robustness, abrasion resistance and impact strength. Whether in heavily frequented corridors, staircases or skirting areas, belgrano® natural stone withstands wear, scratches and impacts. This makes it suitable even for demanding environments such as clinic corridors, educational facilities or cultural centers without compromising performance.
Care and Maintenance
With belgrano® BESCO supplies materials that meet high requirements for slip resistance, care, maintenance and hygiene in public spaces. In buildings with high visitor volumes cleaning cycles are often intensified and not every material is compatible with this. Particularly hard stones such as granite and gabbro prove to be extremely resilient. Together with our clients we define the required usage profile for each project and select the stone that matches the specific performance criteria.
Acoustics and Indoor Climate
Did you know that natural stone contributes to improved indoor climate? Thanks to its thermal mass it supports the regulation of indoor temperature and can be combined with integrated floor heating systems. At the same time its surfaces have a positive effect on acoustics and create a pleasant and quiet environment that enhances comfort in busy areas.
Design Versatility
belgrano® natural stone offers architects and planners a wide range of design possibilities. Color nuances, veining and surface finishes enable nuanced spatial effects. Floors, staircases and skirting elements can be harmoniously coordinated while ornamentation and inlays create intentional highlights. Matching furniture, custom pieces or wall cladding can also be produced easily from these natural materials.
Sustainability and Long Term Value
Natural stone is one of the most sustainable building materials available. It forms without energy intensive industrial processes, contains no additives and requires significantly less carbon dioxide during extraction and processing than manufactured materials such as concrete or ceramics. Its exceptional longevity and robustness also extend service life considerably which is a key factor for reducing lifecycle related carbon emissions.
Particularly relevant for sustainable construction is the fact that natural stone is fully reusable. Due to its solid structure it can be lifted, reset or incorporated into other projects even after decades. This reduces waste, conserves resources and avoids the carbon emissions associated with producing new materials.
Anyone choosing natural stone invests in a material that combines function, aesthetics and genuine sustainability across generations.
Implementation and Tailored Solutions
Whether special formats, specific edge treatments, complex radii or fully custom building elements are required an experienced natural stone partner such as BESCO ensures that every specification is executed with technical accuracy, economic efficiency and design precision. The close integration of planning, production and logistics results in solutions that are precisely aligned with each project.
Direct collaboration between architects, detailed planning, production and installation minimizes interface risks and ensures that material, dimensions and finishes harmonize perfectly. The result is custom elements that impress visually and guarantee long term durability, exact fit and maximum project reliability.
Municipal Hospital Braunschweig
In the new Braunschweig Hospital, designed by HENN Architecture, the belgrano® gabbro flooring extends over several levels and lends the functional architecture a quiet elegance. The dark, finely textured stone contrasts with the light walls and creates an atmosphere of calm clarity. Large ornamental inlays break the linear geometry of the corridors in front of the elevator areas.
Ventspils Music School and Concert Hall, Latvia
Designed by haas cook zemmrich STUDIO2050, the building of the Ventspils Music School and Concert Hall combines a concert hall with modern teaching and rehearsal spaces as well as additional cultural and communal areas. Light belgrano® granite is used for both flooring and skirting elements and meets acoustic, aesthetic and functional requirements. BESCO supported the project with specialist expertise and reliable supply.
“Natural stone offers endless variations in color, veining and texture. This allows a high degree of individuality for every project.” David Cook, BA (Hons), Dip. Arch (Dist), RIBA, BDA, Partner and independent architect at haas cook zemmrich STUDIO2050
The Center at Potsdamer Platz, an Architectural Landmark in Berlin
In the heart of Berlin stands the Center at Potsdamer Platz, formerly known as the Sony Center. As part of its modernization BESCO supplied belgrano® granite and basalt for staircases, paving slabs, paving stones, seating elements and edging. The natural stone surfaces give the area a contemporary yet elegant appearance.
