Artificial stone: design solutions

Artificial stone in modern design

What is good is an artificial stone.

1. With the right selection of material, it can be used not only for exterior, but also for interior finishing of residential and office premises. A good designer is potentially simply obliged to make such an element of his project into the decor element.
2. The resistance of the material to various external mechanical and atmospheric loads( temperature, humidity, abrasion) is as close as possible to ordinary stone slabs.
3. The porous structure of the artificial stone allows to facilitate the internal and external constructions of the building. Load on the building is less, then, the service life is longer. The ground floor of your house will not sag from the spring floods, and the appearance of the cladding will be preserved.
4. Decorative component. Not every slab of natural stone looks from the consumer point of view as attractive as their artificial counterparts. It is enough to walk for a short time on the sites to understand that the exterior of many products of this class fully compensates citizens for lost marble and basalt.
5. Price of artificial stone. Perhaps the main motive for a private builder to pay attention to the skillful imitation of nature while preserving the constructive protection of his home or the arrangement of his internal premises. The cost of finishing materials is reduced at times, but still bites: 900 - 1200 rubles / m2 can draw not every ordinary citizen of Russia.
