Porphyry and natural stone costs and prices

Porphyry prices and costs per square metre

Porphyry is a natural stone widely used for outdoor paving due to its extreme resistance and durability over time. Investing in porphyry paving is also advantageous from an economic point of view, as the initial costs are offset by the reduced need for maintenance and subsequent interventions.

Why Choose Porphyry

Resistance and Durability

Porphyry is one of the most resistant stones, capable of withstanding the wear of time and weather conditions. This durability translates into lower maintenance costs, making porphyry an economical choice in the long term.

Competitive Cost

The cost of porphyry is generally lower compared to other materials thanks to its natural split processing. This process reduces production costs, as quarry blocks do not require machine cutting, which could damage their structure.

Porphyry Features and Prices

Main Uses

Porphyry is mainly used for outdoor paving, pedestrian sidewalks, and large public works. Its resistance makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and variable weather conditions.

Price Variation Based on Use

Porphyry prices vary based on thickness and final use:

  • Porphyry slabs for pedestrian walkways: thickness of 1/3 cm or 2/4 cm, ideal for terraces and sidewalks.
  • Porphyry for public parking lots or home entrances: thickness of 4/6 cm for light vehicular traffic or 6/8 cm for heavy vehicular traffic.

Porphyry Conformation and Cost Differences

Types of Processing

The cost of porphyry also varies based on its conformation and type of processing:

  • Sanpietrini: porphyry blocks used in urban paving, known for their durability and aesthetics.
  • Porphyry slabs: used for cladding and outdoor paving, available in various sizes.

Color Shades

Being a natural stone, porphyry presents various color shades, which can slightly influence costs. Each piece is unique, adding aesthetic value and authenticity to the pavements.

Laying and Additional Costs: Laying Methodology

The final cost of porphyry can increase based on the laying methodology. Mosaic laying, for example, requires the intervention of specialized craftsmen to ensure a uniform distance between the stones, thus increasing the total cost.

Investing in Trentino porphyry paving and cladding means opting for a noble, resistant, and durable material. The initial costs are offset by the reduced need for maintenance and high durability.
