The difference between stone in the interior and exterior
The appearance of any building that is built is important in two ways: the first is its external appearance, in which we should use exterior stone, and the second is its internal appearance, including staircases, lobby, entrance, reception, kitchen, room. toilets, etc., which require their own design. These two types of facade stone, despite the fact that they both contribute to the beauty of the building, but each of them should have different properties and characteristics according to the tasks and the environment in which they are used. In this article, we will examine the types of internal and external stone facades and their differences
Stone on the exterior
The meaning of stone in the exterior is the stones that are used for the exterior of the building. Considering that these stones are exposed to the outside environment and must have a long life, it is necessary to take into account when choosing them that, despite their beauty, they must withstand environmental factors such as atmospheric changes, temperature changes, very high temperatures Low or high, acid rain, sunlight, air pollution, natural disasters such as earthquakes, etc. should also be resistant because each of these factors has a destructive effect on the facade. According to the mentioned points, if we want to introduce you the best building stones for the exterior of the building, we can name the travertine and granite stones, which in addition to beauty, also have very good resistance
Stone in the interior
It is more difficult to choose facade stone for interior decoration than exterior facade. Because it can be seen more closely and more accurately, and in addition, each part has its own characteristics. If we want to introduce the effective factors in choosing a good interior stone facade, we can mention the following
Beauty
Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind regarding the internal stone facade is that its beauty is much more important than the external stone facade. Because the external stone facade of a building is seen only from a distance and very fleetingly, but the internal stone facade of the building, especially the stones used in the units, are noticed every day and many times by the home owner or guests carefully. are seen So the beauty of internal stones is very important. We must say that among the existing building stones, slab stone is more beautiful because it has larger dimensions than tile stone, and the banding in the stone is not very clear. For this reason, choosing slab stone is more recommended than tile stone
Inside the building, there are different parts that have different uses and environmental characteristics. For this reason, it is not possible to generally introduce a specific stone as an internal facade stone in all parts of the building. For example, facade stone is suitable for
Use in the reception hall should be resistant to impact and wear. Or the stone that is chosen for the kitchen, must have a high resistance against the penetration of water, chemicals, impact, scratches, etc. and not be affected. Also, the stone used in toilets, because it is in direct contact with water, should be in a way that has less water absorption so as not to cause problems. For this reason, considering that marble has more water absorption compared to other stone facades, it is not a good choice for this work, except for stones whose resistance has increased during production and processing
Conclusion
Considering that the exterior stone of the building must be both beautiful and resistant to environmental factors such as humidity, temperature changes, air pollution, chemical reactions, etc., stones such as granite or travertine can be a good choice for this application. be But in contrast to the internal facade stone, according to its applications, different types should be chosen so that they can cope with the features in the desired environment. For this reason, we offer you marble stones. Of course, we should also remember that it is better to use slab stone instead of tile, because it has larger dimensions and this makes the banding in the stone not very clear.
