About Enameled Table Tops

For centuries, craftsmen and builders have cut slabs of lava rock from the mountains in Italy.  Then, in the hands of specially trained and experienced artisans, it was transformed into some of history's most beautiful and functional table tops and wall decorations.   Today, modern technologies are carefully blended with the skill and art of the past to produce enameled lava stone slabs of unequaled beauty and function. 

Slabs are cut from selected ancient volcanic mountains in Italy and are transported to the workshops where they are cut and shaped to size.  Then, they are hand painted, glazed and fired in a specially designed furnace to over 1000 degrees C.  This time tested process yields a surface that is not only beautiful in appearance but also resistant to moisture, extreme temperatures, UV light, oils, scratching and, if specified, acids.

Custom patterns and colors are available but with over 100 standard colors and patterns to choose from, there is certain to be a design to suit virtually any taste or decor.  P&M Industries is proud to bring this beautiful and ancient craft to the U.S. market.
