Natural stone is a highly popular material, used for tiling of houses<\/a>. All sorts of varieties are available \u2013 from the polished limestone or marble slabs to chunks of limestone cliffs, which have undergone severe erosion during their millennial stay outdoors.<\/p>\n

Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most sought after are the various polygonal stone plates. It’s hard to choose the right stone needed for your tilings among the variety of texture, coloring, thickness, hardness and size of the plates. As a rule, they are sold on a pallet, so you understand what you have just bought when you pay and get home. Therefore, it is really important to find a reliable manufacturer and trader.<\/p>\n

Pallets<\/strong><\/p>\n

One pallet with natural stones for lining features between 22 and 25 rows. The material from each of these lines needs to cover an area of at least 1 m\u00b2. With the whole pallet, you should be able to cover no less than 20 m\u00b2, if quality of the stones is good and if there are not too many small pieces that are paid for, but are practically unusable.<\/p>\n

Demand <\/strong><\/p>\n

Demand for natural stone<\/a> for coverings and floorings has become more popular with the advent of democracy and the unleashing of private initiative. A variety of materials is cut and sold. Natural stone is in high demand abroad as well.<\/p>\n

Thickness According to the Intended Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stone slabs are divided into two main groups, based on their purpose.<\/p>\n

For facing of walls, columns, decorative walls, plinths<\/em><\/strong>,<\/strong> etc gneiss\u2019 slabs<\/a> are used, which have a thickness of between 2 and 3 inches. Those slabs are mined from strong stone and you can use them to tile quite successfully even lanes for vehicles and pedestrian walkways. The load is carried mainly by the concrete reinforced pavement. The stones should be properly glued and jointed<\/a>, so that no cavities remain beneath them for the paving to tolerate maximum load.<\/p>\n

Slabs with greater thickness<\/em><\/strong> (at least 5 cm and even more) are better intended for flooring. Stones with very large thickness are also sold \u2013 between 10 and 20 cm; with them, it is entirely possible for you to build an impressive massive wall.<\/p>\n
