Aristocrats Marble & Granite
Through the ages building with stone has produced many of the most spectacular and enduring architectural icons. It is a material that has stood the test of time with new and exciting derivative products extending versatility and the range of uses. As the material and its applications have evolved over time so have the methods of cleaning, maintenance and restoration and Sam Lardizone, owner of Aristocrat Marble and Granite in Victoria has a genuine claim to be a leading authority.
Meet Sam Lardizone
Experience and knowledge set in stone
With over 30 years of experience and generations of learned knowledge to draw upon Sam is part of a ‘stone dynasty’ and is uniquely qualified to consult in all aspects of stone and ceramics across the full spectrum from preparation and protection through to restoration conservation and maintenance.
“I suppose you could say that I am passionate about stone for all that it brings to the built form,” said Sam. “This is why I am committed to providing information to the industry on product deliverables rather than claims and I am open to consulting with architects and builders on specification, care and maintenance matters,” he added. Sam’s hands-on, practical knowledge of stone and its many types gives him a unique understanding of the characteristics of each and the treatment required in their use and specification by architects on modern civil and residential projects including heritage, restoration and conservation. His expertise is in high demand particularly in the specialized area of investigation, testing and restoration of failed stone projects. As always prevention is far better than cure and Sam consults widely in both prevention and reversal of adverse effects including moisture bruising and damp picture framing of moisture sensitive stone.
