Quarried in thee varieties, Verde Giada, Verde Vittoria and Natural Split, this precious material comes in a range of colours (from green to more markedly grey) according to the type of finish and the quarry it is extracted from.
All of these characteristics make serpentine a unique type of stone that can be finished in a variety of different ways (such as sand-blasted, polished, honed, brushed and diamond cut). These are all high-technology processes capable of transforming the surface of the stone without altering its natural colour.
Serpentino e Graniti in Chiuro has dedicated all of its passion to quarrying and working serpentine in Valmalenco for generations. The company makes inserts for stoves (based on customer specifications and drawings), floor tiles, cladding, staircases and roofs, as well as furnishings such as worktops for kitchens and bathrooms, tables, terraces and swimming pools, cooking surfaces and a range of semi-finished products, using the most advanced technology available on the market.
One of the best known products are serpentine natural split roofing tiles known locally as ‘piode’, considered the best material for making roofs thanks to its exceptional strength and durability.
Respect for the crafting tradition of quarrying, combined with the use of efficient, advanced technology, are the strong points of Serpentino e Graniti, which over the years has grown to become a benchmark for this particular sector.
The company has affirmed itself on both the domestic and international markets, exporting a great many of its products throughout Europe, where it has contributed to the construction of several significant architectural works, amongst which the German Chancellery building in Berlin, and at local level, the stone used to construct the famous Bormio Spa.
