As an extremely versatile product stone has always been part of the fundamental needs for man. Historically employed in the building industry as a structural support stone has determined architectural and decorative styles outlining a contrast between ordinary random stone pattern buildings and aristocratic homes mainly consisting of regular cut geometric pieces crafted by skilful craftsmen. Besides the above task stone is currently being applied as an interior decorative element in inns, fireplace surroundings and rustic style settings to enhance visual delight. Particularly in the heart of large city centres stone craftsmen are gradually disappearing with setup of outdoor and indoor real stone surfaces becoming more difficult and expensive. Due to such reasons stone production needed to evolve towards a simpler manufacturing process. Several facilities were setup producing an “engineered stone” product embo-dying installation ease (as in ceramic tiles) reducing costs compared to genuine stone.
Being the leading producer of “engineered marble” items and based upon its proven experience and excellent resultsaccomplished through evolving sophisticated manufacturing techniques Petra Stone introduces in 2004 yetanother “State of the Art” product: “ THE Petra Stone COLLECTION “. Beautiful shades and textures blend with superiorstructural characteristics resulting in an outstanding “touch and feel” perception outlining our main objective in the engineered stone field: “To be a step ahead.” Unrivalled innovation and extraordinary perception are achieved through our remarkable “raw material” as compared to others. Similar products consist mainly of cement basedcompounds and surface absorption oxidizing agents commonly known as pigments.
The finest natural stone “dusts” carefully selected from premium grade quarries blend with quality resins to achieve an exceptional product virtually identical to genuine stone. Petra Stone can be modelled to offer exciting “covering” and “ furnishing” applications according to the most demanding yet traditionalquests for beauty.
The product follows an ASTM and European quality certification code being U.V. and fire rated, resistant to frost and atmospheric agents as well as common domestic acids, detergents and pool additives.

Giovanni Barbieri began working at the age of 14 as a building site labourer; at 16 years old he was already capable of independently managing fl ooring project setups operating within his older brother’s business. At 18 years old Giovanni took over 50% ofthe business establishing F.lli Barbieri in 1984 with the company actively producingtumbled marble for its own needs.
At the age of 22 he then began attending interior design evening classes successfullycompleting two three-year courses between 1989 and 1997 with best results achievedin building site/projects in cooperation with the same teaching architects.
Such a cooperation established a solid development in which Giovanni was the sole executive/in charge of projects supplying marble products exclusivelyfrom its family business and personally supervising all installations. He later focusedon production processes regarding new products, initially applied to local markets gradually extending in United States mainly due to the exceptional design, research,development and marketing understanding shared with American distributors.
Having created some of the most exclusive decorative panels, Giovanni participated in various contemporary art competitions achieving a “special mention” award during Turin 2003. At the age of 44 his new products and collections are all positively welcomedthroughout the world and the North American market: “Ambra Collection” in particularis undoubtedly one of the best product introduced during 2008, a collection receivingan “Architectural Record” award from the American Architecture monthly magazinedesignating the collection among the best 2008 construction products.
In 2010 following the Timeworn Mosaics Collection creation he discovers a newway to recycle natural stone by-product developing a new laboratory testingEngineered Marble Carved Tiles suitable for applications in which Natural Stone cannotbe recommended due to high humidity or extreme climate factors. The Flamboyant,Shades and Rinemi Collections introduce new generation tri-dimensional panelsresulting in a unique aesthetic design further enhanced by gold/silver applicationsand Swarovski inserts being the product totally maintenance-freee.

Recommended adhesives or equivalents having the same physical/mechanical properties:KERAKOLL H40 TENAX + TOP LATEX or MAPEI KERABOND + ISOLASTIC (no water addition).KERAKOLL ECOTENAFLEX + TOP LATEX ( 3 litres of water should be added to 3 litres of TOP LATEX and 25 kgs of ECOTENAFLEX) .KERAKOLL SUPERFLEX, MAPEI KERALASTIC T or LATICRETE LATAPOXY 310 STONE ADHESIVE for heights exceeding 3 metres, fireplace and shower surroundings, pla-sterboard coverings, BOREAL series.
During preliminary installation pieces must be selected simultaneously from different boxes to avoid repeating patterns. The adhesive should be applied both on the piece and installation surface. In the event of a corner profile installation the special pieces must be set beforehand following application from below applying forward/reverse motion thus achieving uniform setting of the stnes. Excess adhesive should be removed using a dry spatula or sponge.
Grouting for exterior applications: If required use of specific products such as KERAKOLL BIOCALCE PIETRA, MAPEI MAPE-ANTIQUE or equivalents having the same physical/mechanical properties mixed with correct water proportions according to technicalspecifications is highly recommended.
Grouting for interior applications: Use of pro-ducts such as KERAKOLL FUGABELLA 2-12, MAPEI KERA/ULTRA COLOR or equivalents having the

The groutshould be poured in a “sac à poche/gun”enabling adequate grout flow and appliedevenly between the pieces completely filling alljoints. Allow to settle for approximately half an hour until the grout starts to firm then removing any excess using a brush stick, a bristle brush can then be applied onto the joints to achieve uniform grouting.
Any grout excess on the stones can be easily removed using a brush or specific ceramic cleaning products. Following a 24-hour period any further residuals should be washed off using a common domestic acid diluted with water in a 1:1 proportion.

• Non-standard applications must be discussed with us before installation in order to receive correct setting instructions. Our company shall not be deemed responsable for any issue which may arise from such installations if not contacted beforehand.
