Formats and sizes
Pyrolave is shaped and finished to the size and thickness dimensions required using CNC technology to enable the realisation of highly creative designs and fluid shapes.  Work top surfaces can incorporate drainage boards, set-down wet areas, fully concealed induction cooking arenas, hot and cold panels, and bespoke sinks in glazed lava stone.  Pyrolave's strength and stability enables the creation of 'massive' formats honed out from monolithic blocks of solid stone to form large signature pieces such as vanity and sink basins. 
In designing with Pyrolave, it is important to keep in mind the size to weight ratio of this uniquely dense, and therefore heavy material.  
Edge profiles
Edge profiles are cut by CNC and then finished by hand. During the firing cycle, the enamel becomes semi-liquid and the surface tension changes the thickness of the glaze near the edges.  The resultant lighter and darker variations at the edges on the more translucent colours is one of the signature characteristics of glazed lava.
Precision stonework
Precision stonework programmed with CNC machinery allows the cutting and finessing of Volvic lava stone to achieve customised designs.  Intricate shapes can be incorporated in the designs, for example, interlocking bricks, tiles and cappings, finishes to surfaces such as non-slip pool edges and steps or shower bases, and drainage boards and set-down wet areas.
Hot and cold panels and induction
The special properties of Pyrolave make it uniquely suitable for incorporating technologies for heating or cooling  within custom-designed pieces.  For example, a removable heat mat can be installed underneath a Pyrolave top or panel, so that it can act as a warming bench in a food service area. Other uses we have developed include upright panels as heated towel rails.  These "Hot Spots" are normally adjustable up to around 100c.  Cooled recesses can also be incorporated by embedding evaporator coils to cool the stone. ​ Induction units can also be installed under the stone giving a seamless unbroken surface on the worktop through which the induction cycle works.
