Application of building stones
It is interesting to know that the use of stone for the interior wall of the building gives it a very magnificent and cool appearance. Basically, in this direction, stones with a special and beautiful appearance are used, in addition, its porosity is low so that it will not be damaged by washing with detergents and its resistance will not decrease.
Facade of buildings
Another use of stone is building facades. As you know, in order to implement the facade of the building, durable and resistant stones are used so that they are not damaged by various environmental factors. Variable weather conditions, sunlight, frost, dust, acid rains, air pollution and many other factors are among those that affect stone resistance; Therefore, we recommend that you check its minerals before stoning the facade and buying the stone, because the stones that have iron minerals do not have a high resistance to wear and get oxidized by the weather. In addition, if impurity is seen in a part of the stone, it can lead to its destruction.
Paving stones
The stone used for stairs and flooring will be exposed to wear and impact, so it must be very hard and have high wear and impact resistance. In addition, due to being exposed to pollution, the stone floor and stairs should have a small porosity so that it is impervious and not damaged by washing with detergents and pouring acidic or alkaline substances on it. It should also be noted that among the stones that are suitable for floors and stairs are quartz and gneiss stones.
Stones covering the walls
The stones that are used for the walls and foundation are arranged irregularly and without a specific shape, and in general, to save the cost of construction, the stones that are seen in the area are used. They also use smaller pieces of stone to fill the gap between the stones. It should be noted that porous stones and stones that have layers and are highly soluble are not suitable for walls and foundations; But hard stones with high compressive strength and specific weight are suitable for this work. In general, sandstone and limestone are suitable options for walls and foundations.
