Of course, the heat loss is different for different types of homes. If you live in an apartment the losses depend on whether the apartment is internal or with at least two external walls. In houses the heat losses through the roof are about 25%. The most significant losses however, are from the walls \u2013 up to 40%.<\/p>\n<p>When the stone floor is well heated and releases this heat slower, it is transmitted through the air and thus reduces the total heat loss.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/208390\/Natural-Stone-Flooring-eclectic-wall-and-floor-tile\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/st.hzcdn.com\/simgs\/4b81f2740e19b2d7_8-9007\/eclectic-wall-and-floor-tile.jpg\" alt=\"\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043b\u043a\u0430\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0430: http:\/\/www.houzz.com<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural stone has the important benefits of natural materials: a natural appeal and no risk of contamination of the environment with artificial materials.
