Outdoor
Irregular Slabs
Also Mosaic or Opus Incertum
What is normally called "mosaic" is constituted by irregular slabs coming directly from the selection of quarry material. These polygonal size slabs have a natural surface and rough-cut edges. They are distinguished by their sizes and thickness. Mosaic is one of the most popular porphyry products, thanks to its flexibility and ability to adapt to various situations. Its strength is its low cost and ease of installation. It is normally used for the paving of external areas such as squares, gardens, interior and exterior wainscoting etc.
Split Tiles
Tiles with natural surfaces are often used for paving and facing of both internal and external areas. Used by architects on all types of projects, they constitute one of the most appropriate items for squares, streets, sidewalks, arcades and historical centers in general. They are available with rough-cut edges or sawn edges; in both cases the thickness varies
Cobblestones
Out of all the different types of external paving, porphyry cobblestones have been the most popular throughout the ages, due to their combination of natural beauty and ability to adapt to the most diverse uses. Their wide range of sizes and thickness varies. Make porphyry cobblestones a product that can satisfy even the most eclectic tastes. Furthermore, their varying chromatic tonality offers the designer the freedom to indulge his every aesthetic whim.

A touch of class
Tiles with machined surface, flamed, brushed, semi-ploshed and polished give a touch of class to any kind of environment and are particularly designed for interiors: they have sawn edges and a uniform thickness (exception is made for those with a semi-polished surface which have a variable thickness).
Steps
Over the last few years, alongside the traditional products, a large range of products for urban building projects have been developed, in particular for the renovation of interior and exterior areas. In the working of poprhyry the use of the sawing and cutting machines is becoming more and more popular. Now it is possible for the designer to use the same material not only for paving the exterior areas, the formation and dressing of steps, and facing of walls, but also to produce an interesting aesthetic continuity for interior surfaces with the use of polished or semi-polished flooring, stairs and sills.
