What is the stone stone?
In the construction and masonry, the stone Dimension is any natural stone that has been precisely cut to meet specific instructions or instructions for shape. Stone cutting can be carried out by means of cutting, grinding or drilling techniques. The stone of the raw material is usually chosen for its color structure and durability. After forming and treatment, the dimensional stone is used to create aesthetic effects during construction, design and construction. Any type of rock can be used, although granite, marble and sandstones are common, as is limestone and slate.
Dimension Stone differs from used crushed stone, for example in gravel corridors, although both can be harvested from the same quarry. Each piece of dimensional stone must be uniform size and shape, while individual crushed stones may vary. Instead of being simply fired from the cliff face using high -performance explosives, the stone must be harvested with techniques that can be operated more precisely. These techniques include Sawing,Burning torches for piercing and carefully controlled use of light explosives.
After separation from the rock face, large plates of stone are cut into the desired shapes. The resulting dimension stone can then undergo a process known as completion, which includes the treatment of the stone to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. Common finishes include varnish to be glassy and reflective, sanding of sand to form a rough texture and blazing, or the use of heat that is sometimes strong enough to change the color of the stone.
When used in construction, the dimension can take several forms. Because the stone is expensive, many buildings that seem to be made of stone actually face only stone. Veneer refers to large stone boards connected to the mat. It is mostly ornamental, although it adds a layer of insulation to the structure.
Dimensive stone can also used in smaller quantities PRo decoration or utilitarian purposes. A common example is the peaks of stone. They are usually made of granite, even if slate or some other material can sometimes be used. Decorative stone tile used for the treatment of floor and wall is also in the form of a stone stone. This category also includes any memorial or tombstone if it is made of stone and not concrete.
