About Us
Our company was founded in 1935
80 years latter we've supplied hundreds of government and private buildings leaving our mark in the construction of the contemporary world. In Lisbon we’ve supplied landmark project, such as the cinema Império, the Oceanarium, or the Portugal Pavilion during Expo 98. Internationally we have long-standing clients all over Europe, Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan), South America (Brazil), North America (USA and Canada) and Africa (Algeria, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea and Mozambique).

Our Services
We feel it’s our duty to provide detailed technical information, pertinent to the trade, which brings your finished product closer to the finish line. Design isn’t just about form but has to have the function to go along with it.
With several skilled craftsmen, your project is handled with personal care, every time. We have the capability and education to engineer large, medium and small scale projects.
We have the resources to provide for routine maintenance such as resealing and re-polishing of natural stone surfaces in the field.
We custom measure and install everything we make, guaranteeing a perfect fit no matter the size.
When requested by assembly drawings can be created for any project.
We may provide a interior designer, to take your project to the next level.
IF YOU CAN ENVISION IT, THEN WE CAN BUILD IT!

Polished
Polished
produces a shiny surface, with almost zero porosity, while improving resistance.Highlights the color and properties of the natural stone. It is not recommended for outdoor paving, since it reduces slip resistance.
Honed
Honed
a flat or low-sheen finish that is smooth in texture. Color will be visibly lighter than a polished finish.
Bush Hammered
Bush Hammered
generates uniformly distributed craters of different sizes over the surface of natural stone. The surface becomes non-slip, ideal for high traffic external areas.
Chiseled
Chiseled
is created, as the name implies, by breaking a stone with a hammer and chisel. This can provide a very rough surface or a slightly irregular finish. A chiseled finish can be applied to any stone..
Sandblasted
Sandblasted
is similar to the bush-hammered finish. This finis is achieved by repeatedly blasting silica sand against the material through an air gun. Sanblasted finish generates very small craters that highlight the color of the stone.
Leather
Leather
is obtained by a process of brushing the slab with a range of brushes. The result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch. Only a few materials are sourced with this finish.
Flamed
Flamed
is achieved by exposing the surface of the stone directly to a high temperature flame. Generates a thin roughness and protects the material for outdoor installation. Only a few materials are sourced with this finish.
Tumbled
Tumbled
is an aging process similar were natural stone is introduced in a vibrating drum-like machine with smaller, more resistant stones that wear the tile completely. Simulates aging and generates soft surfaces and edges.
