Larvikite, Stretcher

A seamless stone texture with larvikite arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1215 x 630 mm (47.8 x 24.8 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 400 x 100 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.

Larvikite is a stone product named after the Norwegian town from where it has historically been quarried. In architecture and construction, larvikite is a popular stone of choice in commercial building facades, due to its natural beauty when polished. Typically available in black, brown, grey, or white hues, the crystalline aesthetic of larvikite also makes it a popular choice for internal surfaces, decoration, paving, or flooring.

This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
