Pietra Bedonia - Feldspathic Sandstone

Pietra Bedonia is a feldspathic sandstone with depth, movement, subtle tonal variation and a hint of a luster.

Why has Pietra Bedonia been used in Italian architecture for centuries and why does it contribute so beautifully to modern design?

  • With quartz as its most common substance (25.8%), it has high abrasion resistance.
  • Due to intense metamorphic activity, it is a relatively dense sandstone.
  • It is frost resistant, making it suitable for cold weather applications.
  • Because the stone is primarily siliceous, it can resist etching from common cooking acids when used for countertops and can withstand acid rainfall when used as exterior cladding and paving.
  • In addition to countertops and exterior applications, Pietra Bedonia is also suitable for interior walls and floors, stairs, windowsills, furniture pieces and high traffic applications, as well as complex, cut-to-size projects.
  • The stone has moderately low absorption and will resist staining when treated with a high quality impregnator such as Stonetech Professional Bulletproof Sealer.
  • Pietra Bedonia is stocked in: 16"x16" tiles, 12"x24" tiles, and 3/4" slabs and 1 1/4" slabs.

Pietra Bedonia can be most appreciated when viewed as a larger field. See this natural stone in its best light at StoneSource.com or in your local Stone Source showroom.
