01 / Where to use it

Where to use it

Setts, edging and slabs for paths and squares.

Flooring, cladding and architectural details are possible applications to assess for the specific supply. For outdoors, stairs, pool surrounds and vehicle traffic, agree thickness, finish and installation with the designer.

02 / Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance

Remove sand and dirt with soft tools. Use a stone-compatible neutral cleaner, rinse and test treatments in an inconspicuous place. An impregnator can reduce absorption but cannot make the surface stain-proof.

03 / Good to know

Good to know

Forms when molten material solidifies underground or at the surface.
