La Pietra Compattata Cromie is a one-of-a-kind, stone-look surfacing that represents the new frontier of sustainable tile. Made of a selection of natural raw materials recovered from the stone cutting process, the tiles meet strict criteria for green building including heat island reduction, recycled materials and packaging, and low-emitting materials. After the raw materials including quartz, granite, and porphyry are crushed into a stone powder mixture, they are cold-pressed with cement binding into a uniquely textured, low-embodied energy, compact surfacing. As it can be used both indoors and outdoors, it also enables designers to execute seamless integrated design concepts.
