The range of uses for Porphyry Stone is endless, not only because of the durability and old world Mediterranean appeal. Porphyry is a natural material which is environmentally sound, everlasting and with many design applications from pedestrian paving, driveways, roads to feature walls and landscaping. Porphyry fits all these applications and can be worked into cubes, pavers, tiles, irregular flagging, kerbstones, borders and rustic wall veneer. It is available with sawn or snap cut edges.

 

Due to its high compression breaking point porphyry stone resists wear, resists chemicals and can withstand high temperature variations.

 

Due to it’s resistance to wear porphyry pavers don’t lose their naturally textured surface. This means in wet conditions porphyry stone doesn’t become slippery. This high slip-resistance makes porphyry stone perfect for shared zones such as public and council projects.

 

Porphyry stone needs almost no on-going maintenance. This fact together with its long life span makes it a cost-effective long term paving choice.
