The use of basalt treated with oxides is a green and design solution of great potential that combines one of the oldest stones on earth with colors of equal natural origin and history. Indeed, the addition of oxides gives the surface of basalt a unique and personalized appearance, creating color effects and textures that can vary following and enhancing the stone’s own texture. Such oxides like iron, copper, and manganese can be applied to the surface of basalt through controlled oxidation processes, achieved through the combination of water, temperature, and air. This creates color effects that can range from reddish-brown to olive-green and blue-gray, giving basalt a rustic and natural appearance.

The product obtained through the oxidation process applied to basalt can be used for applications such as flooring, wall cladding, kitchen countertops, and decorative elements, and it can be used both indoors and outdoors. The addition of natural oxides can also make the surface of basalt more resistant to wear and weathering, enhancing its natural durability.

The use of natural oxides perfectly represents a sustainable ecological option, as they are 100% natural products that do not require any use of chemicals or synthetic products, neither for their production nor for application or treatment. In conclusion, basalt combined with natural oxides offers a unique and customizable design option, combining the strength and durability of basalt with the rustic and natural appearance of natural oxides.

With our oxidized basalt it is possible to create any size and shape with a thickness of 1 cm, for indoor and outdoor applications, flooring, cladding, and furnishings, but elements with a greater thickness can also be made such as steps, pool edges, kitchen countertops, bathroom tops, and solid wood fireplaces.

In the file below therefore are just a few application cues that reconcile an ancient product interpreted by our masters.
