An important focus on a particular product of a very important company in the ceramics sector. Numerous aesthetic, performance and product uses.
L’Altra Pietra® is the proposal of the Bergamo-based company, in sintered stone in full mass for the flooring of the external spaces. A surface that guarantees high performance, practicality and functionality.
All in 2 cm thick.
It is characterized by a range of plates of various sizes, with an aesthetic result extremely faithful to natural stone: veins, imperfections, colors, all combine to recreate the beauty and elegance of the most appreciated stone materials.
With the technical and performance advantages that make it a winning choice for covering and furnishing outdoor spaces.
48 references and 11 different formats recreate the natural stones, not only Italian, mostly used on the market: from slate to Porfido of Trento, from Botticino to Brazilian Quarzite, from Piasentina stone to the Swiss Ansernone, in a very wide collection.
Performance
Contrary to natural stone which has limits due to frost resistance, shock absorption, size, breaking load and the limits of quantities or dimensions that can be supplied on certain sites, L’Altra Pietra® offers performance characteristics optimal from all points of view.
The plates are, in fact, resistant to thermal changes and to frost, they are non-slip, easy to lay because they are ground and driveable thanks to their high mechanical resistance and resilience, which guarantee an excellent breaking load, adapting to any intended use in external environment.
One of the main advantages of L’Altra Pietra® lies in the high breaking load class of U11. A very high value for a 2 cm sintered stone plate.
A perfect surface thanks to the aesthetic and performance characteristics: it does not require any type of treatment because, besides having a high chromatic resistance to light, and being colored in mass, it has an unlimited duration.
L’Altra Pietra® COMBINE Indoor & Outdoor
Thanks to the COMBINE Indoor & Outdoor versions with a reduced thickness of 1 cm and R10 surface roughness, designed and dedicated to indoor use, L’Altra Pietra® elegantly furnishes spaces, also creating a continuity of the surface between external and internal environments: particular of the Holz Arena, a series that incorporates the wood effect so beloved to make more and more welcoming environments designed for the presence of people.
The pose
The installation can be carried out dry on gravel, sand or grass, a system that is particularly suitable to solve problems of drainage of water in the ground, but also in concrete bottoms such as on terraces or balconies, with glue on screed, allowing to create perfectly stable and exceptionally resistant surfaces, able to withstand the passage and parking of motor vehicles, or it can be carried out in the floating floor version and then with raised installation on support, thus allowing the passage of electrical systems and water in the underlying cavity, an ideal choice for applications in commercial areas, and offices.
