Choose the right stone With the weather

Note: A quick way to find out if the stone is the right material and free of cracks is to hear a sound similar to hitting the glass silently after being hit by a metal or stone object.
 

Travertine, granite and sandstone are among the stones suitable for the exterior of the building. Travertines have good resistance to cold, heat, UV rays, sunlight and moisture, compared to other types of stones. Of course, most granites also have these properties, but Sometimes the humidity of the air can oxidize the iron minerals in the stone and make the appearance of the stone ugly. And in some of their dark types, sunlight causes the natural color of the stone to be lost. In the last decade, due to the development of construction stone extraction and processing machines, building stone mines, especially travertine, have significantly expanded in Iran, and as a result, the number of stone-cutting factories that process travertine has increased. In color and in beautiful natural designs, it has been able to occupy a special place among other types of stones. The calcareousness and porosity of travertine, which is also one of its characteristics, helps to adhere well with cement. To create and as a result, its durability on the facade is well maintained For this reason, the use of travertine stones for exterior facades has become more common. Of course, it should be considered that the method of installing stone for exterior facades is different from other cases. There is a possibility that the stone will be removed from the facade, so by scooping the back of the stone, it will be fixed on the facade. Therefore, it is better to spend the cost that is to be spent on this work after installation and scooping it before installation. Which is in the form of a tile is fastened to the chassis with a clamp.

 

 

Marble, travertine, granite, porcelain, limestone and almost all stones can be used for the interior walls of the building, and this is because the stone is not exposed to weather conditions. However, there may be limitations in the design of our interiors. In the color and dimensions of the stones (due to insufficient natural light in the space and…) or factors such as high humidity, the need for frequent cleaning of the environment and the importance of hardness against abrasion and sub-surface gloss of the stone, our choice is more limited. Although today marbles are very popular in interior stonework due to their good polishing and great variety in color, design and price, it is impossible to ignore the beauty and variety of travertine and antique stones, which can be combined with very beautiful effects. Created lobbies, footpaths, around elevator doors, stairwells, parking lot walls and more.

 

 

Choosing the right stone for this part of the building is very important. Usually, the use of granite stones is very common due to its high resistance to abrasion, moisture and impact, however, a number of marbles (such as Khoy, Khobsangan, Salsali marble, Kowsar, Golbahar, and…) and limestone (such as Gohar and Bozhan) are also recommended for use on stairs. It should be noted that the price of some marbles in the size of the stairs is much higher than some granites, which depends on The buyer has an opinion and his budget. Note 1: The stairs of office and commercial buildings and schools that have a lot of traffic must be made of high quality marble or granite, otherwise they will wear out quickly and lose their beauty. Note 2: The entrance stairs of the building that It is located in the open air. Its surface must have enough friction so that people can easily move on it when it is raining and freezing. In order to create the necessary friction on the rock surface, there are several methods such as: axing the rock surface, grooving , Filming, and highlighting the edge of the stairs, there.
