Porphyry has been a symbol of great prestige since the Egyptians and Romans extending to the present day. It continues to be widely used in Europe, preferred as a natural paving surface because of its beauty, durability, and low maintenance requirements. This stone is a rare igneous rock that is quarried in only a few locations worldwide.
Porphyry's technical characteristics make it one of the most durable paving and facing materials in the world. Porphyry breaks naturally into slabs at the quarry site. The natural surface is smooth, attractive, and comfortable. Unlike a manufactured granite or other product, porphyry will not become slippery after years of use. The subtle, natural variations in color lend a redefined quality to any design project.
SOLI offers porphyry in both loose cobblestones and pre-assembled modular patterns for easy installation.
