Stone
Porcelain(crystal) is mainly composed of two minerals, wollastonite and calcite. These types of stones are limestone masses that have recrystallized due to internal factors, such as temperature and pressure, and their granulation is crystalline, which is visible to the naked eye; therefore it is called crystal and is considered as a metamorphic stone.
Porcelain stones vary in different parts of the earth in terms of metamorphism and chemical composition.
Porcelain stone often has large crystalline grains. These coarse crystals distinguish porcelain from sedimentary carbonate rocks. It is correct to use chrysalis stone for the exterior view. Porcelain stone is not as absorbent as travertine or non-stick granite in terms of water absorption and adhesion of slurry. Porcelain is the main material of the facades of many old buildings, especially in the tropics, because its light color protects the building from high heat absorption. The weather resistance of this stone is moderately good and considerable, and in some quarries, porcelain stone can compete with travertine and granite. This stone, like other types of stones, is offered to the market in different qualities, and the whiter stone is more expensive.
Crystal stone is beautiful, bright and with high variety in pattern has attracted many fans.
In the stone industry, crystal stone is mainly available in the range of dark gray to light with black or yellow streaks. The usage of this stone has flourished significantly in recent years; architects use it in building facades, stairs and staircases, floor stones in interiors such as lobbies, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, countertops and cabinet stones. The most important parameter of crystal stone is the physical and chemical analysis of that stone, and the closer the crystal stone analysis is to the desired level, has higher quality and higher price.
Crystal or porcelain stones have different types that are sorted after cutting and polishing. The type of stone processing has a decisive role in the price.
Accuracy in cutting and angularity of the stone, the amount of sub and polishing of the stone and the type of packaging and transportation will affect the price of crystal stones. The quality of the crystal stone is very influential in determining its price, and sometimes the grade of similar super stones is less expensive than grade 2 of the same stone.
Marble is classified as a metamorphic stone; That means, over time and under pressure and heat, the texture and structure of limestone is altered, recrystallized to form a large, coarse and veined calcite.
Marble is a type of metamorphic stone based on calcium carbonate, which is composed of calcite, dolomite and crystals. This stone has waves with different pattern and often in various and beautiful colors.
The difference between the appearance of marble and travertine is on the back surface of marble, unlike travertine, there are no pores, but it is seen as veins in it.
Despite its resistance to moisture, if it exposed to moisture in long-term, it will change and erode. It is not recommended to use this type of stone in spaces that are constantly exposed to moisture, except with the maintenance and optimal physical condition of the stone.
Marble is weaker than granite and harder than travertine. There may be scratches on the surface of the marble.
This stone is vulnerable to acid, despite its resistance to moisture, it will erode if exposed to moisture for a long time. It is not recommended to use this stone in spaces that are constantly exposed to moisture, except with the maintenance and optimal physical condition of the stone.
Marble is weak against natural factors such as rain, cold and heat and weathering. Therefore, if they are used in places that are exposed to contraction and expansion, they will corrode.
Generally, marble is not a very good choice for exterior design unless it has a large thickness that can prevent water penetration and corrosion of the stone and also delay deep cracks or the surface is not corroded. This stone is the ideal choice for use in interior architecture, especially flooring.
This stone is available in light to dark colors due to the presence of impurities such as red, cream, brown, pink, black, mustard, green and so on.
Marble is a unique, beautiful and luxurious choice that has been welcomed by most interior designers with a modern sight. The arrangement of marble slabs in the form of bookmatch, fourmatch(diamondmatch) and even asymmetrical and irregular combination of this type of stone is used in the interiors of building and construction such as lobbies, walls, elevator frames, floors, parking walls and etc.
In this section, we will try to provide a catalog of building stone. As we mentioned in the previous sections, building stone has a variety of travertine, marble, granite, marble, Traunix and limestone, and we also tried to create a catalog based on the request of users. Make complete preparations.
Travertine is a type of limestone left over from the deposits of mineral water in caves or hot springs, which can be seen in relatively wide areas. Travertine has a band-shaped texture that is caused by the presence of iron compounds and other impurities. Travertine can be cut into two wavy and undulating shapes, each of which gives a special beauty to the stone.
