What is a lava stone cast floor?

A lava stone cast floor—also called epoxy stone or lava stone cast floor—consists of a mixture of epoxy resin and fine quartz granules. The floor is durable and waterproof, with a natural look that complements both industrial and modern interiors.

This cast floor is suitable for horizontal and vertical applications: so not only on the floor, but also on walls.

Advantages of a lava stone cast floor

• Seamless finish: no joints, so sleek and modern.
• Wear-resistant: resistant to heavy loads and intensive use.
• Water and stain resistant: suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and commercial spaces.
• Scratch and impact resistant: thanks to the combination of epoxy and quartz.
• Easy to maintain: dust and dirt don't stand a chance; cleaning is simple.
• Suitable for underfloor heating: good heat conduction.
