WHAT IS
NATURAL STONE?
Natural stone is a construction material extracted directly from quarries, without artificial chemical processes. It forms over millions of years through natural geological processes, giving it unique characteristics of resistance, durability and beauty.
Outstanding capabilities
- 100% natural material
- Superior resistance to
the passage of time - Each piece is unique in
veins and tones - Excellent thermal and
acoustic properties

FAQ'S
Expert answers on natural stone
Quality natural stone, like our sandstone from our own quarries, has a durability of over 50 years on facades without loss of properties. Historic buildings like El Escorial (400+ years) or medieval cathedrals are living testimonies of this exceptional durability.
Stone quality (crucial to choose certified quarries)
Correct installation (anchoring system is fundamental)
Preventive maintenance (sealing every 3-5 years)
Weather conditions (our stone resists all types of climate)
Factors that influence durability:
Stone quality (crucial to choose certified quarries)
Correct installation (anchoring system is fundamental)
Preventive maintenance (sealing every 3-5 years)
Weather conditions (our stone resists all types of climate)
Maintenance is minimal compared to other materials:
Annual cleaning: Pressure water + neutral pH 7 soap
Sealing: Every 3-5 years depending on exposure
Inspection: Annual visual check of joints and anchors
Regular maintenance:
Annual cleaning: Pressure water + neutral pH 7 soap
Sealing: Every 3-5 years depending on exposure
Inspection: Annual visual check of joints and anchors
Artificial stone maintenance (comparison):
Specialized cleaning every 6 months
Anti-UV treatments annual
Piece replacement every 10-15 years
Maintenance savings: 50-60% less cost vs artificial materials
Real ROI calculation (50m² project):
Extra initial investment: +€1,500
Property value increase: +€8,000 (average)
Maintenance savings over 20 years: +€2,500
Net ROI: +€9,000 (600% return)
For facades: Clara or Duna sandstone (resistance + aesthetics)
For exterior pavements: Grey Granite or Rustic (non-slip)
For interiors: Perla or White Limestone (elegance + warmth)
For fireplaces: Granite (heat resistance)
For wet areas: Slate or Granite (low absorption)
