What are the characteristics of Grolla Stone?
Grolla Stone stands out in the landscape of stony materials for a series of unique characteristics that make it particularly appreciated in various fields of architecture, design, and beyond. These peculiarities not only testify to its aesthetic excellence but also its technical superiority, making it a privileged choice for designers, architects, and designers.
Unique aesthetics
The first impact with Grolla Stone is undoubtedly visual. Its color palette ranges from delicately neutral tones to more marked shades, embellished by fine veins that cross the stone creating unique natural designs. This variety of aspects makes each slab of Grolla Stone a unique piece, capable of conferring exclusivity and character to every environment. The elegant appearance and smooth or textured finish fit perfectly both in classic and contemporary contexts, enhancing residential, commercial, and public spaces.
Durability and resistance
Beyond its undisputed beauty, Grolla Stone is characterized by its extraordinary durability and resistance. Its geological composition gives it a higher density and compactness, making it resistant to shocks, foot traffic, and the passage of time.
Grolla is a metamorphic rock composed of 98% calcium carbonate. Its composition makes it suitable for both outdoor and indoor use: its low water absorption, resistance to salt, chlorine, pollution, and frost are unique and certified qualities.
These qualities make it ideal for applications subject to wear, such as flooring and claddings in high-traffic areas, ensuring significant longevity without losing its aesthetic charm.
The versatility of Grolla Stone
Versatility is another strength of Grolla Stone. Thanks to its physical and aesthetic properties, it lends itself to a wide range of applications: from interior and exterior claddings, to staircases, bathrooms, and up to furniture items such as tables, worktops, sinks, and decorative complements. The ease with which it can be worked allows for the creation of custom pieces, meeting the specific needs of every project and client.
