Granite paving, outdoor steps
The patio covering, block steps and stepping stones, the large podium at the entrance, as well as the stepping and sitting stones on one of the outdoor steps, were made from sandblasted and brushed Fuerstenstein granite (diorite).
Brushing the sandblasted surface at the factory intensifies the dark gray color of the Fuerstenstein granite. At the same time, it increases the ease of cleaning the non-slip patio surface.
