For over 50 years, Calamini has specialised in the extraction, processing and direct sale of Pietra Serena from Firenzuola. This highly regarded natural stone is renowned both in Italy and abroad for its use in architecture, design and paving.
One of the most frequently asked questions from private clients, architecture firms, and construction companies concerns the price of Pietra Serena. In this article, we seek to provide clarity by explaining the factors that determine the cost per square metre and what to consider before making a choice. Rather than providing a standard price list, we provide a detailed explanation of the unique characteristics of each supply, so that you can make an informed decision.
What factors influence the price of Pietra Serena?
The cost of Pietra Serena per square metre is dependent on several technical and production-related factors:
1. Origin and Quality of the Quarry
The Pietra Serena we extract from our own quarries is renowned for its density, chromatic uniformity, and durability. The quality of the raw material directly impacts the price.
2. Please indicate the type of processing required.
Each project has different requirements, ranging from raw stone to polished slabs and custom pieces such as steps, windowsills and moldings. Each type of processing has a specific time requirement and set of techniques, which in turn affects the final price.
3. The surface finish is of the utmost importance.
Finishes can have a variety of aesthetic and technical impacts, which in turn affect the cost per square metre.
4. Quantity and Formats
Large-volume orders may benefit from economies of scale, while non-standard formats or custom pieces require a different pricing approach.
General Guidelines
Pietra Serena can be priced on a per-piece basis (e.g. thresholds, stairs, caps) or on a per-square-metre basis (e.g. flooring, cladding, slabs).
We do not provide generic prices because every request is customized based on:
• Project size
