LIST OF ROCK TYPES
Marble is a soft sedimentary rock that is not homogeneous. The variegation of structure and presence in the composition of many groups of rocks gives marble unique shades and structure. The only disadvantage of marble is that it has microcracks. The modern development of stone processing technologies allows to correct this nuance by resination — wax-epoxy coating under certain temperature. The obligatory polishing provides additional strength and better shine of the stone. The ideal place for using marble is the interior because in the exterior it is rather unstable to natural conditions and phenomena.
Granite is a hard rock of organic origin. It is distinguished among other rocks by its high density and strength. Granite is often used for all types of work (in buildings, monuments, paving, bridges etc.). We use ecological granites of the first class of radiation safety which do not emit radiation and are completely safe for humans.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock. Its physical characteristics are heterogeneous but directly depend on its structure. This type of rock is suitable for facade cladding as well as for creating decorative elements of architecture such as facade brackets, pillars, pilasters, bas-reliefs, arches, fireplace portals, limestone flooring etc. Some types of limestone are suitable for buildings with high humidity.
Travertine is a natural stone visually similar to the marble and limestone. It is widely used to create decorative and cladding elements. Travertine is both strong and pliable material which has a light palette and a moderately loose texture. Undoubtedly, travertine products are ideal for decorating bright interiors in residential and commercial premises.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is one of the most popular in construction. This stone is a really profitable solution for architecture if the use of granite or limestone is inexpedient. The diversity of sandstone allows to adapt decision-making for different construction tasks at any budget and its characteristics made this stone a popular building material. Such type of rock is in demand when pouring the sidewalks, but in this case, it is necessary to follow special specifics in working with it.
Onyx is a translucent mineral rich in calcite and aragonite. The rock is used for wall cladding and flooring. In design, onyx is often used for facing columns and fireplaces. This mineral looks especially exquisite with backlight. In addition, onyx is actively used for making sinks, windowsills and countertops. Due to the fact that this mineral almost does not absorb moisture, it is advisable to use it when installing a fountain, sauna, swimming pool or bath. Moreover, onyx will become a beautiful element in the landscaping.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock. Due to the ability to withstand high temperatures, this type of stone is in demand in the production of baths and furnaces. There are many options for quartzite products in interior design. It can be stairs, windowsills, floor, racks or sinks. Quartzite is also used to decorate the territory: gazebos, fountains, verandas and fences. Quartzite bar counters also look quite impressive.
First of all, in cooperation with the client, we determine what type of rock should be used in the process of work. Each stone has individual characteristics regarding the use. Our specialists are always ready to help you choose the best option and fulfill your order qualitatively and on time.
