The authenticity of natural gneiss stone
Contea is a natural stone with irregular laying, capable of conveying strength and authenticity. Coming from gneiss, one of the most common metamorphic rocks, it is recognized for its banded texture and schistose appearance, which provide unique visual depth and materiality.
Warm colors and unique shades
The warm and intense tones of Contea - ranging from rust, brown, to golden nuances - derive from the presence of noble minerals such as feldspar, quartz, garnet, andalusite, and mica. Each piece becomes unique, enriching indoor and outdoor environments with natural and ever-changing hues.
Resistance and versatility in claddings
Thanks to its resistance to weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, and thermal excursions, Contea is perfect for both exterior and interior claddings. It adapts well to contemporary environments as well as rustic or mountain contexts, enhancing architecture with timeless elegance.
Easy installation and artisanal finishes
With an average thickness of about 3 cm and one flat side that facilitates adhesive laying, Contea optimizes time and precision. You can choose an "uncertain laying" with or without joints, depending on the desired architectural style.
The line also includes the corner version, for continuous and harmonious claddings on the edges. The rectangular variants, handcrafted with artisanal chiseling, offer a result with a strong aesthetic impact.
