There are many advantages of buying natural stone for installation, but each of them has specific characteristics that make them special for specific locations. Some, for example, are more suitable for installation on roofs, while others are ideal for covering bathroom or kitchen countertops. Here are some of the best options on the market and their applications:
Slate
Slate is a metamorphic rock whose main components are quartz, sericite and minerals of the chlorite group. It is normally used for roofing due to its low water absorption rate and high durability. To a lesser extent, it is also used for facades, indoor and outdoor flooring, gardens and walls. This material is cut to fit the commercial format and has no post-treatment, so it has a much longer life span compared to other products.
Granite
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the crystallisation of magma beneath the earth's surface and is composed almost entirely of quartz and feldspar. It has a granular texture and can be of different colours, such as grey, beige, black, white, brown or red, among others. Among its main characteristics, it stands out for its hardness, its resistance to scuffs and scratches, its ease of cleaning and its great durability.
Stone Panel
It consists of a system composed of pieces of natural stone mounted on a cement base and reinforced with a fibreglass mesh. This format is more cost-effective to lay, requires easier installation and generates less waste and can be applied in any location, both indoors and outdoors.
Natural stone
In its different variants, natural stone is versatile: it is not limited to exterior walls and can also be applied to floors and other surfaces. It brings comfort, elegance and luxury in equal measure, conveys serenity (referring directly to nature) and adapts to any type of decoration. It is also an exceptional thermal and acoustic insulator.
