The selection of the materials in the context of the modern landscape architecture is not only a matter of the beauty. It indicates a determination to be long lasting, sustainable and connect with nature. Of the increasing range of the natural stones, basalt has become one of the most suitable materials that combines the splendid beauty to the environmentally friendly nature in the most appropriate ways. We have seen that there has been an increasing demand of this volcanic stone at Xiamen Wanshi, and with more than 10 years experience in the marketing of natural stone products of high quality, we know very well why basalt has become a key ingredient in outdoor design.
The Natural Advantages of Basalt
Basalt is also a volcanic rock that is created as a result of the rapidly solidified lava and, thus, the structure is incredibly dense and solid. Unlike most other stones, its process of natural formation does not involve any chemical changes, which is why this material is one of the most environmentally friendly solutions. When landscape architects just want to use materials which could withstand, severe weather conditions, high pedestrian traffic, and time, basalt will come in to play whereby, there are rarely instances of replacing the materials, thus consuming less resources in the long run.
Our basalt is produced at Wanshi with a concern of quality. Being a company that has a boast of direct access to the premium quality of materials, such as massive blocks just having been quarried and strategic stacking we are assured of every hunk of basalt that we offer to have the structural integrity and natural consistency demanded by the large-scale landscape work.
Sustainable Aesthetics: Where Form Meets Function
Sustainability in landscape architecture is not necessarily the issue of longevity but it is also about designing spaces that do not clash with the surrounding environment. The cool colour scheme of Basalt, with the use of deep charcoal shade and silver-grey shade, offers a neutral and yet impressive background that blends with greenery, water elements, and modern structural solutions.
It can be applied in a range of applications as it is versatile:
Paving and Walkways: Due to its anti-slip characteristic and its capacity to maintain a consistent color of pallet to pallet, Basalt is the best pavement to be used in walking paths.
Water Features: The natural ability of the stone to resist moisture and erosion is the reason why fountains and reflecting pools are able to retain grace even with the passage of the time.
Retaining Walls and Cladding: With the selection of slabs being closely watched with no defects, basalt provides clean lines and monolithic look to the minimalist designs.
Using our outstanding 5-point Quality Monitor system, Wanshi ensures that all the products of basalt are of strict standards, including, but not limited to, professional experience in production at the quarry to the precise cutting, polishing, and finishing. This makes sure that the stone does not only appear perfect when installed, but also lasts outdoors tens of years later.
