Governor Richardson Celebrates on Mexican Multicolor Porphyry Flagstone

 

      A drinks event to celebrate Santa Fe's 400th anniversary was held July 21st attended by many New Mexico luminaries, including NM Governor Bill Richardson. Although the speeches were entertaining and the food and drinks copious, the star of the evening turned out to be the multi-color Mexican Porphyry in a flag stone patio from which ceremonies were conducted.

     The patio is the first in the USA to be installed using Global Porfidi's unique and spectacular Porphyry, the world's greatest paving stone. As exclusive national suppiers via sister company Western Porphyry, Groundfloor continues to offer dramatically different stone paving and tile. 

     The rich color range within the Porphyry flagstone, predominently greens,  reds and golds worked perfectly to match the existing stucco colors of the surrounding  buildings within the Victorian compound. The was installed (just in time for the event) by leading Porphyry experts Avant Gardens, who cut the stone to ensure minimal grout lines.

     Western Porphyry offers Mexican Porphyry in four distinct colors - Sangre Red, Verde Musgo Green,  Coyote Multicolor and Mojon Red. These are available in sizes starting at 4"x4" and goiing up to 24"x 36" pavers and in random flagstone. As well as Mexican porphyry, Western Porphyry offers the world's widest range of porphyry with choices also including Brazilian Porphyry, Chinese Porphyry and Kern Italian porphyry.

The Snow Driveway

With winter leaving a thick layer of slippery mud, the smartest of our neighbors made sure they installed a porphyry driveway. Porphyry creates a driving (or pedestrian) surface that scoffs at whatever natures sends along in the way of weather.

Chad and Renee’s Snow’s have enjoyed a problemless winter and now are enjoying a slip-free and highly attractive Spring, with their combination of Fire Cracker Red and Imperial Porphyry set on mesh in a fan pattern. They’ll be enjoying the same benefits next winter and the winter after that and the winter after that

CHEWY THE CHISELER

An hour or so outside San Luis Potosi are the huge Porphyry deposits owned by our exclusive supplier Global Porfidi. The 70 employees [predominantly live in the local village where ornate installations on the streets and houses demonstrate the stone working skills that have been passed down through the generations.

Here skilled mason “Chewy” puts the finishing touchs to a Musto Verde green paver ordert for a church restoration project

Global Porfidi not only has a wider color selection than any other Mexican porphyry quarry but is also able to supply a wider range of formats and bigger sizes than anyone else.

However there is no mechanical way to order large scale porphyry pavers and every 24”x16” paver or even 24”x36” paver has to be worked by hand. First the paver is chiseled to the desired size and then a slight inward slope is chipped around the bottom to the paver to making setting easier and the end result more stable.
