Basalt Application

Basalt has been used as a building material for thousands of years. It was used by ancient civilizations as a construction material and as a decorative stone. The ancient Egyptians used basalt in the construction of the pyramids, and it was also used in ancient Roman and Greek architecture.

In more recent times, basalt has been used as a building material for a variety of applications, including as a substitute for steel reinforcement in concrete, as a decorative stone for buildings and landscapes, and as a raw material for the production of cement. It is highly valued for its strength, durability, and resistance to a variety of environmental and chemical factors. Below are a few examples of modern application.
