A rich chocolatey limestone, Pietra d’Avola is a dark, elegant stone that can vary in shade from greyish-brown to almost black. Its intense shade is well suited to both large-scale interior projects and small domestic objects. One of Pietra d’Avola’s most distinctive characteristics is the presence of whitish lines and splashes of colour which arise as a result of the quartz contained in the stone. Occasional yellowish marks may also be found. A hardwearing stone, it is ideal for both interior and exterior usage, as well as high traffic zones. Available in honed together with our Lithoverde®, Bamboo, Raw, Chevron, Romboo, Infinito, Cotone, Tratti, Ishiburo, Rain, CNC, Plissé, Stone Parquet, B-Fish and Dune textures.
Good to know
You will immediately notice when your Pietra d’Avola tiles arrive that they will have a grey colour rather than the lovely rich brown of the samples you have probably seen.
This is because we do not treat it before it leaves our premises, as it is better done once installed, ideally with an enhancing product which will bring out the intense brown colour.
We recommend FILASTONE PLUS for this.
Pietra d’Avola is a compact material with a very low absorbency coefficient.
As a result most of the water-oil-repellent products on the market are too dense for it as they tend to create a film on the surface of the stone which can be difficult to remove.
This is another reason we recommend FILASTONE PLUS for Pietra d’Avola.
