Decorative stone
The stone cladding of buildings is a classic and at the same time modern method. This type of decoration was used by the ancient Greeks, the peoples of the East, and in Africa. Ancient buildings discovered in excavations are evidence of the use of stones for centuries. Nowadays, this facade design is still popular. The main qualities of decorative stones are its high durability and beautiful appearance. Each building can be transformed with their help. They have excellent waterproofing properties, which is of great importance for facades. They can be operated for more than ten years without maintenance. They are divided into two categories - natural and artificial stone. They differ in structure and, accordingly, have a big difference in their value. The artificial stone for external decoration is an alternative to the natural one with a lower price. It looks identical, but the quality is significantly lower. The highest quality stones for decoration are those of granite and marble. Accordingly, this material is more expensive. Facing with them is less common due to the high price. Travertine stone slabs are especially suitable for cladding buildings. They have great durability and long life.
