Granite is one of the commonly used decorative stones. It is rich in variety and color, which can highlight the noble and elegant architecture. Natural granite is hard, durable and easy to maintain. It is a stone decoration material that is more and more loved and sought after.
First of all, granite has a long history of use, representing noble and classic. Granite is widely distributed on the surface and is one of the earliest natural rocks discovered and used by humans. Such as the pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians more than 4,000 years ago, temples in ancient Greece, temples in ancient India, caves in ancient Rome, and so on. Remains of the ancient use of granite can be seen in many cultural relics, such as mausoleum buildings in the Han Dynasty, statues of caves in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and mausoleum carvings in the Sui and Tang dynasties. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mining and processing of granite has developed rapidly. For example, the "People's Heroes Monument" in Beijing is as high as 37.94m and the weight of the monument is 120t. "Mother of the Yellow River" and others are carved from granite. These buildings and inscriptions have all become the sediment of culture, and the solidity and nobility of granite are vividly reflected.
Second, granite is rich in variety and color. With different proportions of granite components, different colors are displayed, which can provide customers with a wide range of choices. The finished product processed from granite is from natural but transcends the natural, dense and dense, uneven and harmonious. It seems to have just come from the soil. In the texture of the lines and texture, there are deep traces of prehistoric civilization, but its overall Modeling can also be described as "modern fashion", highlighting a masterful design style, showing honorable, elegant, top-level product characteristics to the fullest, so it is loved by many architects.
Again, granite is hard and durable. Granite texture is hard and dense, uniform structure, high strength, and hardness second only to diamond. Its weather resistance, corrosion resistance, wear-resistance and low water absorption are good materials for construction. Some famous foreign buildings and castles were built with granite as the material. After centuries, they are still strong and durable.
Fourth, granite panels are easy to maintain and have a strong anti-fouling ability. Granite is hard, resistant to corrosion and abrasion. The beautiful color can be stored for more than 100 years, and it can also be refurbished. Compared with other decorative materials, it has the advantage of one investment and lifetime benefit.
Finally, natural stone is non-renewable and has good value preservation. Granite, as a non-renewable resource, has a limited amount of savings, especially some precious and rare granite materials, which have now been mined in limited quantities. Therefore, granite is rarer and nobler than pottery, porcelain or any other man-made material, so granite decoration can greatly increase the value of the property. The high degree of hardness, second only to diamonds. Its weather resistance, corrosion resistance, wear-resistance, and low water absorption are good materials for construction. Some famous foreign buildings and castles were built with granite as the material. After centuries, they are still strong and durable.
However, due to the limitation of granite's non-renewability and mining cost, the cost is relatively high. In order to pursue the decorative effect of granite, some buildings choose tiles with imitation stone patterns instead. The artificial ceramic tiles that can imitate stone materials are pressed and molded with molds. The texture of these products is monotonous and repetitive. In terms of use, whether it is the hardness, acid and alkali resistance of ceramic tiles or the cost of maintenance, it is far from natural granite.
