Lava is originally from volcanic matter call magma. After 7 to 8 millions years, by a natural phenomenon, the lava will be crystallized to a stone state. We can find it in the Massif Central. The extraction work done by quarry-workers is still handmade, that explains the prices. This stone is the only one in the world that can be enamelled and this particularity makes a high quality ceramic ware with a great possibility large-framed and technical and artistic cuts, and also with a tremendous faience colors pallet.

These larges dimensions offers a lot of benefits, in particular the absence of lines. The maximum size for the lava plate is 290 cm of length (9.51 foot) x 140 cm of width (4.59 foot). (For longer or larger plate, please contact us.) The thickness of the lava may vary from 1,5 cm (0,59 inches) to 3 cm (1,18 inches). The cutting for the stove top, sink, also for the molding, round edges, special shapes for the drain board, tubs location can be done. Strict sketches are required (scale of 1/1, if possible).
