Natural stone tiles

Among the variety of modern construction and decoration materials, natural stone (natural stone) has a special place. The unique beauty of colors and excellent technical characteristics of rocks emit this type of construction material to the elite. No coincidence that many artificial coverings mimic drawing of stone. Modern industrial methods of processing natural stone expanded the possibilities of its use as a finishing material, significantly lowered the cost.kino online |

Currently, the company manufactures Natural Stone floor tiles from natural stone following standard sizes: 300 × 300, 305 × 305, 400 × 400 and 600 × 300 mm.

Facing the elements differ in thickness. For rooms with areas of high terrain used in the main bar of 20 mm thick. The most delicate lining is used in residential premises, where the floor load is low. Typically, its thickness does not exceed 10-15 mm. Wide range of colors of natural stone allows you to create a variety of compositions, based on the selection of similar color and tone of materials. It must be remembered that combine rock stone, with different characteristics of abrasion (eg, marble and granite), for display of sex in the same room is not recommended. From the hardwood floor finishing commonly used granite. It is very hard, not afraid of water and is resistant to contamination. The properties are ideally suited for public spaces and most exploited sections of residential buildings: hall, kitchen. Granite has a uniform pattern and a wide range of shades. Among medium-hard rocks most common marble, sandstone and shale. Marble can be green, white, pink, blue, black, etc. d. A variety of shades are due to a greater or lesser content of oxides of various metals and graphite. But the main value of the marble are the veins, which form the original picture.

Sandstone is much less showy, but less expensive stones. It contains quartz crystals and very diverse in regard to color - from pink to green.

For the typical slate gray, gray-blue and gray-green scale. Plates from it are noble sculptured surface. Properly treated floor of slate slabs quite durable. The texture of the front surface of facing slabs used for floor devices can be:

• polished- To gloss, without traces of handling. Polishing is particularly apparent color and pattern of stone. We do not recommend the use of such plates for finishing the floor in wet areas, for outdoor stairs and platforms (without the application of anti-strip), because if water enters the polished surface becomes very slippery
• smooth matte- Velvety matte surface with no trace of processing, with full identifying picture stone
• Polished- Uniformly rough, with only obtained when grinding roughness of the relief height up to 0,5 mm. On the dark and patterned stones such surface-won, because almost completely hides the color. It is recommended for rooms where necessary to reduce sliding for outdoor stages and platforms
• sawn- Uneven rough, with the roughness of the relief of up to 2 mm, more rough than polished surface, identified with the color and pattern of the stone; Buying coverings made of natural stone, it is necessary to pay attention to the size and quality of facial surfaces. The difference in color tiles of the same breed is a distinctive feature of the natural material, which is a natural stone.

When choosing tile for the floor unit in damp rooms (bathrooms, showers) should be borne in mind that most types of stone for prolonged contact with water may change color. This primarily refers to the porous and inhomogeneous marbles. In addition, some types of granites and marbles contain inclusions of ferrous minerals, which react with water and may eventually cause discoloration lining.

For zones with intense operating conditions suitable granites. Marble can be used only if not too intense mode of the coating. It is recommended in wet areas it is marble, not granite, as the marble is more porous (microporous) structure and less slippery than granite.

Advice

When laying slabs of marble should take into account some of its features. Marble slabs can absorb moisture from the mortar, and stowed on the surface of the stone tread spots. Therefore marble slabs should be laid on special trains to anhydrous latex and polyurethane basis.

Upholstering of natural stone

In terms of operating characteristics of natural stone floor practically forever, but to preserve the original appearance of it requires appropriate care.

This primarily refers to the polished floors. The main enemy of the polished floor is mud containing abrasive materials (primarily silica sand). Needed regular cleaning and processing of marble and granite floor with special composition based on natural and synthetic waxes. Wax protective coatings improve the appearance of stone, to protect it during operation and allow the coating to wash the stone with plain water. For the unprotected stone floors have special tools that not only wash away the dirt, but also create a protective film. In addition, the developed formulations, reduce sliding on stone surface, and wax preparations, which restore shine a little worn out and lost polished stone floors.
