Granite is a material with exceptional technical qualities that allow it to be used in any outdoor or indoor climate, floor or wall, in a structural use such as thin skins. Thanks to its high level of resistance, countless surface finishes, its aesthetic characteristics and its great workability it has no limits of use.

Our quarries give us colors ranging from light gray to beige with more or less accentuated shades of pink or taupe. The characteristics of the deposits and our extraction techniques allow us to produce large blocks with chromatic and physical constancy and with an absolute control of the supply chain also in the orders of many thousands of cubic meters, all with reduced economic costs and absolutely competitive with the other stone materials.

Basalt is a material with excellent technical qualities and depending on the type it can be used both indoors and outdoors in both vertical and horizontal surfaces; it is suitable both for structural use and as a thin coating and is worked both in splits and in numerous mechanical finishes. Our quarries produce various colors ranging from anthracite gray to medium gray and brown / red tones. The material is characterized by the presence of veins, blowholes and porosity. Basalt is a very suitable material for paving and street furniture in historic centers, including areas of heavy pedestrian and carriage traffic, and in its various formats, for containment works and paving in green areas and public parks.

Trachyte is a material with interesting aesthetic and physical characteristics. In Sardinia the Romans began to exploit it for the construction of spas, as well as for the proximity of the quarries to the thermal areas, for its characteristic of anti-slip when used on the floor (for the same reasons it is also widely used in Japan in onsen). Because of its ease of extraction and processing and its aesthetic characteristics, trachyte has often been the material chosen both for the construction of Romanesque churches and for some of the most interesting rationalist projects. Used almost exclusively for covering, it is suitable for splitted or structured workings. The quarries of VIR, located in various areas of Sardinia, produce light green, medium gray, red and ocher yellow trachytes.
