STONE PLUS answers some FAQs
Natural stones are rocks formed naturally over millions of years through geological processes. They are extracted from quarries and cut into various sizes and shapes for use in construction, landscaping, and decorative applications.
Common types of natural stones used in construction include granite, marble, limestone, sandstone, slate, travertine, and quartzite.
Natural stones are formed through geological processes such as the cooling and solidification of magma, the compaction and cementation of sedimentary materials, or the metamorphism of existing rocks under heat and pressure.
Proper care and maintenance of natural stone surfaces typically involve regular cleaning with mild soap and water, avoiding acidic or abrasive cleaners, promptly cleaning up spills, and periodic sealing to protect against stains and moisture penetration.
Natural stones can be considered sustainable when sourced responsibly from quarries with environmentally friendly practices, and when used efficiently to minimize waste. Additionally, natural stones are often durable and long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Yes, many natural stones are suitable for outdoor applications such as paving, landscaping, and cladding. However, its essential to select a stone that is resistant to weathering and freeze-thaw cycles for outdoor use.
The cost of natural stones varies depending on factors such as type, rarity, quality, and size. Some natural stones, such as marble and certain exotic varieties, can be relatively expensive, while others like granite and slate may be more affordable.
