Sánchez Stone in Costa Rica – Natural Volcanic Stone for Walls and Facades

La Sánchez stone in Costa Rica is a volcanic stone used to face walls and facades in a rustic or polished finish. Its volcanic origin gives it strength and a restrained character, well suited to residential and commercial work.

Deco Rock offers Sánchez stone in irregular, rectangular/multi-use and veneer-panel formats, selected for the Costa Rican tropical climate.

What is Sánchez Stone?

Sánchez stone is a natural volcanic stone in neutral tones with a compact grain, cut into slabs for veneer. Because of its volcanic origin — it is often sought as black volcanic stone— it works with modern, minimalist and rustic schemes alike, and gives a durable, low-maintenance surface.

  • Natural Costa Rican volcanic stone
  • Rustic (textured) or polished (smooth) finish
  • Neutral, dark tones that are easy to combine
  • Suitable for interiors and exteriors

Sánchez stone is fairly resistant to moisture (the second most resistant after Piedra Laja) and performs better on walls and vertical surfaces — facades and walls — than on floors. It is installed regularly in San José, Escazú, Santa Ana, Heredia and Guanacaste for its durability and its natural finish.
