More Over
The pink-violet sandstone is particularly valued for the design of natural stone work due to its characteristic color and texture, but above all because of its proven, frost-resistant quality. The pink-violet banding gives special emphasis to the design of the object or façade.
Its good physical and technical properties allow applications both indoors and outdoors. Tested and confirmed weather resistance is also an important criterion here.
The quarry has been mined for several centuries and is now one of the most productive quarries with pinkish-purple, medium-grained sandstone. Many sustainability criteria are met to a particular extent with this material.
