Pyrolave Work Surfaces

Pyrolave work surfaces are made of Volvic lava stone—extracted from craters in Auvergne, France—which is imbued with colored enamel before being fired at 1,000 C. Suitable for residential and commercial kitchens, bathrooms, swimming pools, fireplaces, and outdoor spaces, the work surfaces can withstand high temperatures, acids, and corrosives. They are available in 16 matte and 16 glossy and custom colors and can be sculpted into extra-long lengths without visible seams. pyrolave.com
