Application
Outdoor Living
Terrace paving, outdoor kitchen surfaces, fireplace cladding, benches and shaded exterior floors.
Terraces, outdoor kitchens and covered exterior rooms.
Outdoor living spaces sit between the technical demands of exterior work and the finish expectations of an interior. They are exposed to weather but touched, sat on and cooked in like a room.
The specification follows that: exterior-grade stone at exterior thickness, but with finishes and detailing closer to interior work — tighter joints, sawn edges, honed surfaces where hands and bare feet make contact.
Specification notes
Surface temperature governs the palette
Barefoot terraces in full sun rule out dark stone. Andesite and sandstone stay usable; black lava does not.
Seal the kitchen surfaces
Any outdoor kitchen counter needs a penetrating sealer against oil and acid. Re-seal annually.
Fireplace and grill surrounds
Andesite and basalt tolerate heat well. Keep limestone and marble away from direct heat sources.

Materials
Stone suited to outdoor living
Volcanic andesite
Andesite Stone
A dense grey volcanic stone with high compressive strength and very consistent colour. The most widely specified Indonesian stone for paving, cladding, coping and high-traffic commercial surfaces.
Material Details
Sedimentary sandstone
Indonesian Sandstone
Warm buff sandstone, best known internationally as Palimanan. A naturally textured, matte stone used widely across tropical resort and villa architecture for walls, screens and shaded paving.
Material Details
Volcanic basalt
Basalt Stone
The tight-grained counterpart to lava stone: denser, less porous and more uniform. Specified where a dark stone must meet technical performance requirements for commercial paving and rainscreen facades.
Material Details
Sedimentary limestone
Indonesian Limestone
A soft, warm-toned sedimentary stone carved and cut in Central Java. Specified for interiors, shaded exteriors and carved relief work where the design calls for warmth rather than the coolness of volcanic grey.
