The creation of Lava stone

Volcanic eruptions and subsequent lava flows create what is known as lava stone. The hot fluid lava emerging from the volcanoes vent will flow rapidly down slope. Once the lava leaves the hot vent the heat is lost quickly at the top of the flow. The surface forms a crust beneath with the liquid lava will continue to flow down slope. As the lava travels further it continues to cool and lose dissolved gases, its viscosity increases. When the lava finally solidifies to rock, the last-formed bubbles become trapped and their form is preserved.

Hardness, Durability and Density

Lava stone is one of the hardest natural stones on the planet, and is virtually indestructible; it will never wear down in high traffic areas, a natural non-slip character, excellent heat and noise isolator and despite the many holes it is honeycombed with it is waterproof. What more could you ask for?

Slash-and-burn

Slash-and-burn is an agricultural system used in tropical countries, in which a forest is cut, the debris is burned, and the land is then used to grow crops. Slash-and-burn conversions are relatively stable and long-term in nature, and they are the leading cause of tropical deforestation. Usually, some type of slash-and-burn system is used when extensive areas of tropical forest are converted into large scale, industrial agriculture, usually intended to supply commodities for an export market, rather than for local use. Coconut Palm plantation are not been spared either with this ‘slash-and-burn system’.

However, this is not the most effective way of disposing the felled trunks. A more proper way of disposing the trunks is to convert them to saleable wood products which not only provides a system of proper disposal but can generate employment and give an additional source of income in coconut producing countries.

Enito has been actively promoting the usage of the Coconut wood in the past years. This has great effect and supports the villagers with a stable income. It also encourages the villagers to look after the plantation and grow Coconut Palm trees in a more effective and ordered manner.

EniTo supports training and builds confidence in the material and produces the only full Coconut Palm wood flooring collection found today.
