Bring authentic volcanic rock to your indoor decor
Finding the right building materials for indoor spaces often means choosing between manufactured replicas and expensive imported products. When you use solid volcanic stone quarried directly from the Waikato, your home gains a permanent fixture that will set your home apart.
We provide you with a heavy, durable material that requires very little maintenance. Indoor spaces benefit from natural thermal mass and acoustic insulation, keeping the rooms warmer in winter and quieter year-round. We cut exactly what your architect or builder specifies, preparing it for installation.
It is a genuine New Zealand product, touched and handled by our own staff. You can track and trace your stone all the way from our quarry face to your living room.

Natural stone for interior walls sourced directly from our Waikato quarry and supplied across New Zealand
Install custom interior stone veneers
When you incorporate an interior stone wall, you introduce textures that manufactured products cannot replicate. We offer two distinct finishes. Splitstone provides a rugged, textured face cut by guillotine, ideal for a rustic look. Sawnstone offers a smooth, diamond-cut surface for a flatter profile.
Because the raw blocks are processed directly at our quarry, you dictate the exact dimensions required for your walls. For indoor applications, we supply a standard 70mm thick block or a 20mm thick interior stone veneer known as a brick slip.
These thinner slips are glued directly to the structural walls, saving you valuable floor space while delivering the appearance of luxury stonework.

Design robust stone feature fireplaces
Volcanic rock handles high temperatures naturally, making it a safe and compliant material for heating surrounds. When you build a stone fireplace wall, you secure a fire-resistant structure that absorbs heat and slowly releases it back into your room.
Beyond heating areas, you can apply this decorative stone to internal stairwells, entrance pillars and custom-cut stair treads. Your architect can specify the exact shapes and edge profiles needed to integrate the rock seamlessly into the home layout.
We supply only, focusing on making precision-cut stone and letting good installers do what they do best. Your tradespeople receive our palletised stone cut precisely to your requirements.

Choose organic colours and grades
Your natural stone wall panels carry the organic variations formed during the original volcanic eruption. We offer two primary grades for wall applications. Awa offers a smooth cream colour and Ahi features natural pumice inclusions.
If you prefer a darker tone for your stone accent wall, we can kiln-fire the rock before dispatch. This baking process changes the light beige stone into a rich terracotta or burnt orange. We deliver interior stone cladding that is unique to your property.
It is a natural product, so you get organic colour variation that does not date.

Maintain the textured stone walls
Looking after your textured stone interior walls takes very little time. You only need to wipe the face down with a damp cloth or dust it periodically.
To protect the surface from spills and stains, applying a penetrating sealer is recommended after the tradespeople finish the installation.
By sourcing your natural stone from our Waikato quarry, you reduce transport distances and support local manufacturing. We manage the entire extraction and cutting process on-site, ensuring checks are completed before the pallets leave the yard for your site. Contact our team.

The dense composition of ignimbrite provides high thermal mass. Your walls absorb heat during the day and release it slowly. You also notice a reduction in noise transfer between rooms.
No, we extract, manufacture and supply the rock. You will need to engage a qualified bricklayer or stonemason to carry out the physical installation using our technical guides.
Splitstone is cut using a guillotine to leave a rough, highly textured face. Sawnstone is cut cleanly with a diamond-tipped saw, resulting in a smooth, flat surface that suits contemporary architectural designs.
Yes, you can request a sample box containing different grades and finishes. Alternatively, you can arrange a visit to the Tirau quarry to see the extraction process and view the raw materials first-hand.
Natural stone is well suited to interior wall cladding, providing a durable surface with a distinctive, textured finish. It can be used across feature walls, fireplaces and living areas, adding visual depth while remaining stable in indoor environments.
