A story of experience, tradition, and passion for Sardinian granite
The story of Loriga Graniti began in the 1960s, at a time when only a few companies specialized in granite quarrying and processing in Sardinia existed. From the very beginning, the company built its expertise directly on the local territory, specializing in the excavation and extraction of blocks primarily for the construction industry. Year after year, its knowledge of the stone, its characteristics, and the possibilities offered by its various processing techniques has allowed the company to grow and progressively expand its operations. Today, Loriga Graniti is a well-established company in Olbia and throughout Sardinia, capable of following the material from the quarry to its transformation into elements intended for architecture, construction, and furnishings. A central role in the company's history is played by the Giallo San Giacomo granite quarry, which produces a natural stone of great aesthetic value, prized for its chromatic characteristics and its ability to blend harmoniously into a variety of architectural contexts. The experience gained over half a century in the business allows Loriga Graniti to possess a profound understanding of the raw material and carefully select it based on its intended use. Granite can thus become the focal point of private homes, hospitality facilities, commercial spaces, and architectural projects, enhancing interior and exterior spaces with the authentic character of natural stone. From its original quarrying activity, Loriga Graniti has developed increasingly comprehensive expertise over time, even directly handling the processing of its own granite. This approach allows the company to maintain a direct relationship with the material throughout the various phases and to offer solutions that combine tradition, artisanal expertise, and contemporary design needs.
Giallo San Giacomo: an exclusive granite for architecture and design
Loriga Graniti is the exclusive distributor of Giallo San Giacomo granite, a material that represents one of the company's distinctive features. Direct access to the raw material from the Giallo San Giacomo granite quarry allows the stone's natural qualities to be enhanced through processes tailored to the specific needs of each project. Granite is particularly prized in the construction and architecture world for its solidity, durability, and timeless aesthetics. Its natural chromatic and surface variations also contribute to making each project unique, a particularly sought-after characteristic when creating spaces with a strong connection to the region and the tradition of Sardinian stone. Over the years, Loriga Graniti has significantly expanded its production capabilities: from quarried blocks to slabs and numerous custom-made elements, including columns, capitals, architraves, thresholds, windowsills, fireplaces, and cladding. Granite can also be used for flooring, stairs, architectural elements, bathroom fixtures, countertops, and outdoor solutions. This versatility allows it to meet the needs of private individuals, designers, construction companies, architects, and professionals seeking a natural stone capable of combining technical performance and aesthetic value. Loriga Graniti's production is also distinguished by its attention to quality: over time, the company has developed specific experience and expertise in selecting and processing stone, while its production materials are CE marked, demonstrating its commitment to the requirements for products intended for the construction industry.

Choosing Loriga Graniti means choosing a company that understands granite from its origins. Working in the Giallo San Giacomo granite quarry is the first step in a journey that continues through the selection and processing of the raw material, culminating in the creation of elements for a wide range of applications. This firsthand knowledge allows us to enhance the stone's characteristics and interpret it according to the project, while preserving the natural charm of granite. The potential uses are numerous: indoors, the material can be used for floors, cladding, stairs, thresholds, window sills, countertops, and furnishings; outdoors, it can be used for paving, pool surrounds, decorative elements, cornices, copings, fireplaces, and other architectural solutions. Granite's characteristic durability makes it particularly suitable for spaces subject to frequent use and weather conditions, while its natural appearance allows for seamless integration between the building and the landscape.
