CALIETRA s.r.l

Calietra produces exclusively Etna lava stone. It selects the best quarries of lava stone and it makes use of the experience of the most important companies of processing and ceramization working between Sicily and the Emilia Romagna district of ceramic. Calietra offers the Etna lava stone both in the "raw" version, available in eight different mechanical finishes, and in the "ceramized" version, obtained through the use of special stoves that bring its surface to a magmatic state that melts itself with glass and enamels, a process that gives to the stone high technical-aesthetic qualities and that allows a high customization of the product. From indoor to outdoor use, Calietra promotes the Made in Italy and its Land -Sicily and Etna- worldwide. Differently from other basalts, Etna lava stone is suitable for firing and ceramization that improves its technical features. Its surface treated in this way is resistant to acids, frost, spots, breaking loads and It is also water and oil-repellent. It is resistant to heat being itself at the same time a good conductor , because the lava stone absorbs heat quickly and releases it slowly, resulting perfect for flooring's heating system. These are all good reasons to choose it among many other natural stones.
