What is an artificial stone?

Artificial stone compounds
Compositions in artificial stone include natural stone along with other additives such as cement, clay, polymer materials, etc. The presence of any of these compounds in artificial stone is not unwise. For example, the cement present in the artificial stone compounds increases the lifespan of the stone. Or they use clay to prepare the stone and make it resistant to sunlight. But in general, artificial stone consists of the following 4 materials:
water
cement
gravel
Concrete additive
The difference between artificial stone with natural stone
In terms of cost, artificial stone will cost less than natural stone due to its production style and, in addition, features such as thickness and less weight. On the other hand, artificial stone has more potential in combining different materials. This feature has made it possible to use this stone in various applications.
Construction of artificial stone
Types of artificial stone
Due to the high variety of artificial stones, they cannot be summarized in only one specific category.
Cementation
In some cases, cement plaster stone and polymer mosaic may be introduced as two different types of stone. While cement plast and polymer mosaic are the same and the only difference between the two is the higher resistance that the nano cement plast stones have. In this category, artificial stones, control materials, polymer material (for stone strengthening), mineral pigments, nano materials (stabilizer), natural grain style and other various mineral materials are used. Artificial cement plastic stone or polymer mosaic is used in different industries and products:
Colored floors
Different building facades
Decorative view
wind stone
Grid view
stone pillars
Antique mosaic
Stone fences
Beautification of green space
Street tables
Stairs
Artificial Corinne Stone
Artificial quartz stone
Under press, vacuum, vibration and polishing, they are produced by special polymer materials, special mineral aggregates and quartz aggregates. Artificial quartz stone has a very high resistance to pressure and has very little absorption against moisture. This style of stones has anti-scratch ability and is very strong against acid and base.
Applications of quartz artificial stone
Building
Office flooring
Airport
the stairs
inside the elevator
tombstone
As open stone with high consistency
Artificial marble
Synthetic marbles do not allow light to pass through and the reason for that is the use of a lot of fillers in stone compositions. The composition of this stone includes all kinds of minerals and nano polymer resins, which are produced in the form of monochromatic stones, marble and granite. Also, marble has a high resistance against acid and base except for sulfuric acid.
Use of synthetic marble
Open stone and cabinet
Sink stone
Sanitary products
under shower
Roman facade stone
statue
Column

Artificial stone thickness
There are many types of artificial stones and each of them is composed and made by different materials; Therefore, there is no specific figure for the thickness of artificial stones, and this figure will vary according to the type of artificial stone. In general, the standard considered for the thickness of artificial stone is between 14 and 18 mm and 3 cm.
