What to Consider When Choosing Materials

Designers must always make crucial decisions when choosing the right material for a project:

  • Aesthetics: Every environment needs a congruous aesthetic to invoke emotion and show the thought the designer has put into it.
  • Cost efficiency: Commercial or private, everybody has a budget. The price of natural stone is offset by its longevity and value over time. 
  • Resilience: Your choice of material must withstand everyday wear and tear, especially in a high-activity environment.  

Basaltina Stone and Its Unique Features

Basaltina is a gray lava stone quarried for millennia in central Italy. Formed from lava eruptions on the Earth’s surface, it quickly cools and crystallizes, creating a smooth matte surface and distinctive gray color and patterning. The ancient Romans used it to build monuments and roads, forming the foundation of their empire.

Like granite, this stone is incredibly durable but porous. Its porosity adds a sound-absorbing quality, bringing another dimension to the atmosphere it will create when implemented in a design plan. To maintain it, you should reseal it annually and clean it with warm, soapy water. 

Implementations of Basaltina

This beautiful lava stone has a great variety of applications. Many people use Basaltina stone countertops in their kitchens and bathrooms. It is also popular as flooring because of its unique sound-absorbing property.  

Its gray color and matte feel can emphasize a minimalist look that is less traditional, more elegant and modern than other natural stones. Inside or outside, this durable, frost-resistant stone is sure to add distinction to any project.
