Artificial stone (Part 2)
There are two ways of artificial stone installation - with seams and seamless. In the first case stones are fasten on the distance of 1,5 - 2,5 cm from each other. This variant is more widespread, since it significantly saves a facing material at insignificant increase of labor expenditures. Some models of stones require only a seamless method therefore they densely adjoin to each other. The solution is put on a back surface of a product; surpluses are cleaned with special brush. The decorative stone is easy in cut, therefore at desire it is possible to modify its form.
One more important feature of a decorative stone relies in its universality. It is established on various kinds of surfaces - wooden, metal, brick, concrete, used both for external, and for internal works. Such stone does not burn and does not allocate a smoke at heating; therefore it can be applied for decorating fireplaces and furnaces. However, it is not necessary to use it for decorating fireplaces or the details subject to influence of heats. Owing to that all weight of a stone becomes impregnated with dyes, it does not grow bare and behaves the same as natural stone at contact with environment.
Unlike natural, the artificial material has no radioactive background. Its durability and durability coincide with properties of natural stone and its frost resistance deviates from 100 up to 150 cycles. It can be easier than the natural prototype in 3-4 times. The walls of a building not only become attractive after their decorating with artificial stone, but they also receive additional protection against moisture and mechanical damages. Thus thermal resistance of a wall increases on 25 % and the house becomes warmer and cozy.
