What Is Andesite and Where Is It Used?

Andesite sits between basalt and rhyolite in composition and forms when magma cools quickly. It is medium-hard and comes in grey, brown, green and bluish tones.

It is used for paving, wall cladding, facades, garden walls and road construction, and its texture gives a warm, natural look.

Good weather resistance and easy workability make andesite a practical choice for both modern and traditional architecture.
