Natural stone is a natural product, whose individual properties are determined by the type and bonding of the minerals
comprising the natural stone. Natural stone holds an outstanding position among all building materials: components of
natural stone are unique specimens, which can be combined with each other and with many other materials. Natural
stone is not a uniform industrial product, but shows the history of its origins. And natural stone is durable, The high
pressure resistance values of many natural stones have given the material a reputation of being an everlasting
building material. The popular natural stone material for landscape field include granite, basalt, sandstone, porphyry
and quartzite.
Natural Stone
-
Granite
Granite is an igneous rock which has cooled slowly, allowingdistinctive crystal patterns to form. These crystals are clearly visibleto the naked eye. Most granites consist of three minerals which canbe easily distinguished.
-
Basalt
Basalt is a common extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapidcooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of aplanet or moon. It has an inherent natural strength that will provide adurable and long-lasting surface for years to come. Its dark charcoalhue perfectly complements minimalistic and classical decorating style
-
Sandstone
Sandstone is a sedimentary, carboniferous rock, formed over 300million years ago. The dynamic actions of wind, pressure, heat andwater facilitated the combination of quartz, mica and feldspar,together with natural bonding agents such as silica, calciumcarbonate, iron oxides and clays to produce this attractive andversatile material.
-
Porphyry
This volcanic rock is formed during a slow cooling process of igneous material, giving it high compressive strength and density. With itswarm earth tones of grey, brown, rust, buff and violets, Porphyry is aunique combination of natural beauty and durability
-
Quartzite
Quartzite is a very hard stone which is composed of quartzsandstone that has been metamorphosed. Quartzite is much harderthan the parent rock, sandstone, which makes it the perfect choicefor hard wearing paving.
