L’ALTRA PIETRA: MADE IN ITALY FLOORING FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.
The product has many aesthetic and performance characteristics and uses. L’Altra Pietra® is the Bergamo-based company’s proposal of fully sintered stone for outdoor paving. A surface that guarantees high performance, practicality and functionality. All in a thickness of 2 cm. It comprises a range of tiles in various sizes, with an aesthetic rendering that is extremely faithful to natural stone: veining, imperfections, colours, everything contributes to recreating the beauty and elegance of the most popular stones. With technical and performance advantages that make them a great choice for paving and furnishing outdoor spaces. 48 products and 11 different formats recreate the most commonly used natural stones, not only Italian, on the market: from slate to porphyry, from botticino marble to quartzite, from Jerusalem stone to Grigioni porcelain, in a large collection. Unlike natural stone, which has limits due to its resistance to frost, shock absorption, size, tensile strength and the limits of quantity or dimensions that can be supplied at certain sites, L’Altra Pietra® offers optimal performance characteristics from all points of view. Indeed, the tiles are resistant to temperature fluctuations and frost, are non-slip, easy to lay because they are machined, and are practicable by cars thanks to their high mechanical strength and resilience properties that guarantee an excellent tensile strength, adapting to all outdoor uses. One of the main advantages of L’Altra Pietra® is its high tensile strength: T11. A very high value for a 2 cm sintered stone slab. A perfect surface thanks to the aesthetic and performance characteristics: they do not need any kind of treatment, as they have a high chromatic resistance to light, are mass-coloured, and have an unlimited life.
L’ALTRA PIETRA® COMBINE
Thanks to the COMBINE versions with a reduced thickness of 1 cm, conceived and designed for indoor use, L’Altra Pietra® elegantly furnishes spaces while also creating surface continuity between outdoor and indoor environments: above all, Arena Holz, a series that calls to mind the much-appreciated wood effect to make rooms used for living spaces more appealing.
