Porphyry tiles

Tiles are used for paving squares, streets and pedestrian areas, in public and private areas. By using the appropriate thickness, they are also suitable for facing walls or façades for furnishing in any context. They are obtained from porphyry cut with natural surface exposed, they have sheared or sawn edges and are divided into three thickness groups:

• Thin, with thickness from 1 to 3 cm for pedestrian areas and facings;
• Normal, with thickness between 3 and 6 cm for squares and areas with light traffic;
• Large, with thickness between 5 and 8 cm for roads and areas with heavy traffic.

The tiles are also divided by width, by multiples of 5 cm, into sizes ranging from 10 to 40 cm, normally with random length or with a fixed measurement, on request.
