The flexibility of the product has to do with the unique way it is prepared, shaped, and finished.

- Heat resistant – can be used fire pits or grilles.
- Freeze – is not affected by cold or freezing as the surface is non-porous and will not absorb moisture.
- Texture – smooth or any texture required.
- Edge options – unlimited including thick edges you can’t achieve with other stone.

- Zuri Stone is made primarily of crushed stone and a powdered catalyst that holds the product together once it is mixed, heats up, and then cures. One of the key benefits is that the product does not contain any Portland cement or lime. Both of these components are in concrete and cause it to expand and contract in the weather, as well as absorb moisture. The Zuri Stone product is made of a pure stone mixture, enabling the factory to pour it thinner and keep the weight down while maintaining the strength that is required for performance.
