Thanks to its porosity, it has very interesting insulation parameters (at a lower cost you can achieve passivity or energy efficiency of the building) and is 30% lighter than other stone materials. And thanks to its ability to patination (hardening of the surface), decorative elements made of this stone please the eyes even after several hundred years, without changing their appearance. Using modern production technologies, an infinite number of finishing textures can be given (including grinding, brushing, fluting, incising, combing, sandblasting, flaking, etc.).

The material can be a building block as well as a cladding, a sculptural material as well as a component of vaults, a wall of an old barn building as well as a palace, a cladding on the facade of a luxury apartment building as well as an element of a fence.

In recent years, the material has been used in the construction of:

  • Arłamów Hotel (exterior and interior elevations)
  • Solec Apartments in Warsaw (exterior facades and loggia cladding)
  • Administrative Center of the Wielka Wieś Commune (exterior elevations)
