Natural stone is a durable material that challenges the time and features, shapes that no artificial material has. Natural stones also have more applications than traditional bricks, woods, especially, with humid climate like in Vietnam, using natural stone in construction works to increase the life of the works.

Modern science means that people use materials such as iron, steel, cement, concrete, glass … mostly for construction works. But man, with nature always on the nature, on the source, more and more clearly feel the subtle luxury can not leave the nature.

There are many types of natural stones, from Granite, Marble, Onix to Quartz, etc. They are distinguished by color, hardness, gloss, pattern and transparency. . For example, granite has the advantage of hardness, very suitable for facing the outside of the building, paving the corridor, the path but lost the other stones in color. Marble is beautiful in color, but the hardness is not high, it is often used to pave the living room, dining table, kitchen stool, sub work …

The two most popular types of stone today:

About Granite: The granite is a natural stone formed by the metamorphism of limestone, carbonate or dolomite. The metamorphic process of re-crystallization of these sedimentary rocks into intercalated rock strata.

Granite has a high mechanical strength, very high color even in buildings with strong sunlight.

Due to the crystalline structure, granite has high hardness, waterproof, can be paved in the position of scratch, abrasion such as stairs, floors, facades … Usually because the price is lower marble, easy to Due to less fracture, granite stones are generally used widely. Vietnam is famous for its quarries in the central region. The climate here is hot so the granite here has mechanical strength, color is very high even with buildings in the sun and wind. Compared with other types of granite in other countries, typically China, the quality of the hardness, durability and the world appreciated.

Marble: Also called marble, is a metamorphic stone from limestone, with non-fragmentary structure. Its main constituent is calcite (crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3). It is often used to sculpt statues as well as decorative materials in buildings and some other applications. Marbles are also used to refer to stones that can increase the gloss or are suitable for decorative stones.

Marble has a vibrant natural pattern and vibrant colors.

In terms of hardness, marble is often not as hard as Granite, but in return, marble is naturally vivid and brighter than any other stone. Marble is more porous, soft and water-repellent than granite. Therefore, if not treated waterproof thoroughly in the long term will absorb water, sticky dirt and discoloration, lose the original beauty. Also difficult to work because it is very fragile, difficult to find products similar to the construction price is higher than Granite. However, because of luxurious beauty, cold color but elegant stone will bring the owner relaxed, cool, luxurious. Marble is usually priced higher than Granite and usually paved special location such as elevator, wall tiles, floor welcome ……

Onix rocks with gorgeous lines, eye-catching colors and penetrating light, are often used to decorate the buildings. Meanwhile, quartz stone is made from artificial natural stone, with the color, size, pattern of the desired natural stones are not usually.

In addition to the rocks on the other is also used in many other stone construction such as sandstone, jade … but the market in Vietnam is not prevalent.
