What Is Lava Stone, and How Does It Become Bali Glazed Lavastone?
Lava stone is a type of volcanic rock formed from cooled molten lava. In Indonesia, the raw stone used to produce Bali Glazed Lavastone comes from the slopes of Volcanic Mount.
This volcanic origin gives the base material behind a few natural advantages:
- Density and strength: formed under intense heat and pressure, making it highly durable.
- Natural porosity: which, once glazed, allows for a unique surface texture.
- Heat resistance a quality that makes this stone especially practical for outdoor and high-traffic applications
Why Is It Called “Glazed” Lavastone?
Raw lava stone on its own is typically a matte, dark grey material. What transforms it into true this stone is a hand-applied glazing process.
Skilled artisans apply a ceramic glaze to the surface of the cut lava stone, then fire it at high temperatures. This process is what gives this stone its signature look:
- Seals the natural porosity of the stone
- Produces a smooth, glossy, glass-like finish
- Allows for a wide range of colors and decorative effects impossible to achieve with raw stone alone
- Adds a protective layer that improves stain and water resistance
The result is a hybrid material the structural strength of volcanic stone combined with the refined, customizable finish that makes Bali Glazed Lavastone so distinct from ordinary tile or stone
