The Most Common Setting Patterns For Porphyry Cubes

The conception and the design of the pieces are the basis for any project in stone material. What we will provide here is a limited series of geometric patterns and free compositions that illustrate the infinite possibilities offered by this material. The designer must know that there are no limits (except economic limits) to the size and shapes of pieces and therefore there are no limits on their freedom to compose. here is a list of the parameters that can be important in choosing a design.

The Most Common Setting Patterns For Porphyry Tiles

When a work of stone material has to be designed, some considerations must be taken into account about the distance between the elements. The first consideration is if the work, paving or dressing, is inside or outside; the second is about the use for which it is designed; in the case of porphyry a third factor is also important, that is the kind of working required for the sides and edges, whether they are split of sawn.

The jointing will be different for the two cases. In the case of split sides, the edges will be irregular and imprecise so that the spaces between the elements can be more than one centimeter, also thus increasing the more “rustic” effect and cover any laying errors.

When a product with sawn sides is used, the edges will be regular and have sharp corners or have a variable width which will also contribute to the general design.
