textural surfaces

The strength of the lava material explodes, completely exposed to view, its innate charm linked to forging in fire and air. The mastery of our craftsmen shapes it while respecting its material essence, enhancing its varied gray color more or less highlighted by concavities, convexities and imperfect linearity.

This bare stones uniqueness can be further described by tooling techniques to create more textures to enhance its character, to randomise or to regiment it’s structure or add luxury cosmetic to its beauty spots.

Some types include natural open fissures and holes yet these are camouflaged by the tooled finishes.

The properties of volcanic stone

Distinctive gray with different shades from silver to brown
The properties of volcanic stone

The properties of lava stone are considerable. Lava is a natural stone, it is 100% recyclable. Its aesthetic virtues reflect its intense organic quality, its association with nature, as well as the chromatic movement of volcanic rock.

When analyzing its physical properties, the amazing strength of lava stone becomes immediately clear, both in relation to its breaking load and its degree of frost resistance.

Not to be discredited is its size and shape: lava stone pieces offer wide freedom of use for any design projects. Lava stone slabs can be cut perfectly to a minimum thickness of 1 cm and a maximum length of about 300 cm.

The starting point of production is the quarry: it is here we pick lava stone blocks most appropriate for the project.

Exploring the Art of Textural Lava Stone Surfaces

At Ranieri, we elevate the raw beauty of volcanic stone through an exclusive range of special finishes. Our textural surfaces are born from applying masterful techniques to the bare stone, a process that unveils a new dimension of character and depth. These finishes create a unique lava stone texture, revealing subtle shades from deep gray to warm brown while always preserving the stone's innate, natural characteristics.

The result is a textured stone slab or tile that is not just a surface, but a piece of art. The volcanic stone texture adds a tactile and visual richness, transforming any project into an immersive sensory experience.

The Properties and Potential of Textured Volcanic Stone

What is lava stone? It is a material of immense power and beauty, and our textural treatments enhance these qualities without compromise.

Aesthetic Versatility: The lava finish can be customized to suit any design, from a rough, organic volcanic rock texture for wall cladding to a subtly honed lava surface for countertops. This allows for endless creativity in applications like lava stone flooring, feature walls, and custom furniture.

Inherent Strength: While we refine its surface, the material retains all its formidable volcanic stone properties. The amazing strength, high breaking load, and exceptional frost resistance remain intact, making our textured stone suitable for both demanding interior and exterior environments.

Sustainable by Nature: As a natural volcanic lava stone, it is 100% recyclable. Its intense organic quality and connection to nature are amplified by textures that highlight the stone's origin.

Unmatched Freedom for Visionary Designs

The combination of texture and scale offers unparalleled design freedom. As a leading lava stone manufacturer and supplier, we can produce large lava stone slabs with custom textures. These pieces can be cut with precision to a minimum thickness of 1 cm and a maximum length of around 300 cm, allowing for grand, seamless applications. From a custom lavastone countertop with a unique feel to large volcanic stone tiles for a cohesive look, the possibilities are limitless.

As your dedicated custom volcanic stone manufacturer, we partner with architects and designers to bring their visions to life. Explore our collection of textural surfaces and discover how the timeless strength of lava stone and the artistry of modern finishing can define your next project.

Please note

We work with a natural stone and the process is strongly handmade, this process is completed in the ovens at 1000 degrees Centigrade; These temperatures and humidities also have an influence, as do the project stone sizes, slab thicknesses and finishes. The pictures on our website and catalogues as well as the commercial samples we supply may have slight variations, for this reason we recommend that you order a control sample at final order confirmation which focuses all parties on the project success.
