The quality of our stones is the be-all and end-all - that's why we test "by hook or by crook"

BESCO guarantees its customers a constant quality of belgrano® natural stones. In the process, our natural stones are closely examined and various tests are carried out to prove that our belgrano® meets desired technical criteria.

But which tests are carried out exactly? And which standards must be observed? We visited the building materials testing center in Wismar, which is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, and were allowed to take a look when our belgrano® natural stone is tested.

We would like to share our interesting insights, further information on EU-wide and Germany-wide standards as well as exciting details of the individual tests with you in upcoming contributions.

Granites and other hard stones are very durable by nature and therefore ideally suited as paving material. It is not uncommon for paving stones to last several hundred years. Professional maintenance can also considerably extend the lifespan of a paved surface. In professional circles, maintenance is understood to mean the preservation of the serviceable condition. For the builder-owner or the maintenance contractor, the maintenance obligation begins at the time of the handover (with the exception of measures taken to remedy defects within the warranty period).
