Stone

Stone??

Part of Building Material???

-a building material since thousands of years ago.

 -     recognized as a material of great durability and superior artistic quality, the foremost choice for buildings associated with status, power and religion.

-       Stores can be either artificial or natural.

ARTIFICIAL STONES

- name for various kinds of synthetic stone products used from the 18th century onward.

                       -  Sometimes it is called Engineered Stone.

                       -  a production line is set out to produce high-quality artificial stone which

                          can be used in used in building construction, civil engineering work, and

                          industrial uses such as grindstones.

The flow chart of artificial stone production line is a dragon automatic production line. The craft principle is:

NATURAL STONES

- obtained by taking rocks from earth and cutting them to the sizes and  

                          shapes for construction.

                        - 3 types of rocks are quarried to produce building stone which is igneous 

                          rock, sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock.

Igneous rock

-  formed from molten or partly molten material 

i.e. magma, through solidification of magna.

                           As the magma or molten rock cooled, it crystallized giving the granular   

                           appearance typical for this type of stone. 

Granite tiles and basalt tiles 

Granite tiles and basalt tiles comes under this category. The Basalt tiles in particular are such a strong and different look that we very much encourage our design conscious customers to consider them.
Metamorphic     -     the most recent of the different types of natural stone.
                          -     This transformation was usually a result of the intense heat and pressure
                                    arising from movement in the earths crust.

Sedimentary

 -     Formed in more recent times than igneous, sedimentary rock is the

                              result of various deposits settling layer upon layer in ancient lacks,

                              rivers and seas.

                       -    Softer than igneous rock, though still more than tough enough to last

                             for centuries as natural stone flooring. 

Sandstone

Sandstone—Another stone susceptible to staining, sandstone's softer texture and beautiful appearance still make it a reasonable and popular choice if you're willing to take care of it.
