Case:A New Life for Finlandia Hall - Sustainable Marble with the Help of Stonegroup Finland
When the iconic Finlandia Hall faced challenges with the durability of its original Carrara marble in Finland’s demanding climate, an expert solution was required. Stonegroup Finland stepped in to ensure the client received the best possible natural stone for the renewed façade.
Challenge: Preserving Architectural Elegance and Durability
The original marble of Finlandia Hall had over time begun to deteriorate, crack and detach. The replacement stone needed not only to preserve the building’s original architectural character, but also to withstand Finland’s harsh climate for decades.
Solution: Lasa Bianco Nuvolato – A Tested and Approved Choice
The project experts assessed several natural stone options as well as modern ceramic alternatives. After a thorough evaluation and comprehensive durability testing, the Italian Lasa Bianco Nuvolato marble was selected. The stone had already proven its durability during a year-long test period on the roof of Finlandia Hall, maintaining its colour and structural integrity despite the harsh conditions.
