NATURAL STONE IS AUTHENTIC AND EXCLUSIVE
A material created by nature over thousands of years, which has created unique and inimitable pieces. This gives it an authenticity that cannot be imitated by other man-made materials.

Aesthetically, natural stone is a material that offers a wide range of colors, textures and formats, and that allows a multitude of finishes for all types of projects.
The natural stone used for architectural heritage has proven its long useful life over the centuries. A good example of the resistance and beauty of our slate, such as the roofing of the Escorial Palace in Madrid, throughout its 400 years of history.
Versatility and multitude of possible formats: small and large formats, cut to size jobs.
NATURAL STONE IS ECOLOGICAL AND SUSTAINABLE
Natural stone is not subjected to any transformation process, it is extracted from quarries and is sawn to the desired size. It is therefore not an energy-intensive activity compared to other materials such as concrete or ceramic tiles.
The thermal inertia of natural stone promotes energy saving and is ideal for maintaining constant temperatures in the home and this contributes to energy efficiency.
Natural stone is reusable and recyclable. It is a material that can be reused in new constructions such as, for example, when a ventilated facade is dismantled, the slabs can be used in other sites.
Natural stone does not pollute, unlike ceramic products for example, no chemicals are used in its production process.
The residues generated by the extraction process in the quarry (the stones that cannot be sawn) are inert products, without additives or added chemicals. The residues are separated in controlled storage areas which are restored according to the demanding European standards, thus guaranteeing the sustainability of the environment.
The useful life of natural stone is long and requires little maintenance, water is enough to clean it for example. Even if the purchase may seem more expensive, in the long run it is a profitable investment.
It is a non-flammable material, therefore classified A1 for its behavior in fire.
The high density of natural stone makes it an ideal material for acoustic insulation.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF NATURAL STONE, ITS SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC VALUE
Natural stone is an economical product compared with some artificial imitations. In addition, it revalues your property, which is an added value the day you want to resell it.
On the socio-economic aspect, it should be noted that natural stone is a local product, which generates an industrial factory in a depopulated area, creating direct or indirect jobs. Naturpiedra with its activity of extracting and manufacturing Jbernardos Phyllite and Copper Jbernardos Quartzite in Bernardos (Segovia), guarantees the present and the future of its inhabitants and the region. Currently this represents 100 direct jobs, between the extraction, production, and installation of natural stone, as well as many indirect jobs.
