What Care Should An Architect Take With Marble And Granite?<\/h2>\n

\"United<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that adding ornamental stones to a project, both from external and internal areas, gives greater sophistication to the environment.\u00a0However, it is necessary to have some care with marble and granite from the projection to the final delivery of the work.<\/p>\n

Each rock has natural characteristics that need to be taken into account when thinking about the finish.\u00a0In general, they are a great option for countertops<\/a>, sinks<\/a>, floors, wall cladding and facades.<\/p>\n

Do you want to conquer the customer with beauty, elegance and greater durability in the finish?\u00a0So read on and check out the main tips for getting the stones right!<\/p>\n

Assess the level of on-site traffic<\/p>\n

Before thinking about the ideal color of marble or granite for the finish, it is very important to know what is the demand for using the place.\u00a0Thus, it will be possible to guarantee durability and beauty for long years.\u00a0After all, this is the proposal for ornamental stones, right?<\/p>\n

It is necessary to be aware that both have different mineral composition.\u00a0Thus, the degree of resistance must be assessed for proper application.<\/p>\n

Marble, for example, is made up of carbonate minerals, being less resistant to high traffic.\u00a0It is also not very suitable for countertops<\/a> and sinks, as they are sensitive to acidic substances, very common in environments such as kitchens.<\/p>\n

Granites<\/a> are composed of silicate minerals, making them more resistant to abrasion and chemical attacks.\u00a0For this reason, they are indicated for environments of more complex use, in addition to points with high traffic, such as bus stations, airports and shopping malls.<\/p>\n

Offer a projection close to the final result<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought how you can enhance your project by offering the correct specificity of the type of granite or marble to be used?\u00a0Like natural stones, they maintain some specific characteristics according to the place of origin.<\/p>\n

To have this advantage in your favor, a good tip is to check the pieces directly at the distributor or marble shop.\u00a0In this way, it is possible to capture real images to be applied to the project.<\/p>\n

The result will certainly please the customer, especially given the similarity proven at the end.\u00a0In addition to a beautiful job, this care values \u200b\u200bmarble<\/a> and granite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Be careful with marble and granite when storing<\/p>\n

Both marble and granite are impressive for their elegance and beauty.\u00a0However, despite the high resistance, care is needed in storage to avoid stains or scratches.<\/p>\n

Construction sites typically carry numerous impurities, debris, grease and chemical materials.\u00a0Therefore, the ideal is to choose a dry and clean place to store the pieces.<\/p>\n

A very viable alternative is to mount easels, avoiding friction close to the ground.\u00a0Another good tip is to waterproof the storage stones until after application, if any service is still in progress.<\/p>\n

The most recommended is to keep the plates side by side standing.\u00a0The polished stones must be arranged so that the treated faces touch, also avoiding friction with areas of imperfection.<\/p>\n

Check the right mortar for each type of stone<\/p>\n

For a perfect coating – which can be external and internal – it is always good to comply with the application recommendations.\u00a0You cannot make a mistake in choosing the mortar: a minimum slip can put you to waste all the work you have done so far.<\/p>\n

The first step is to make sure that the subfloor is firm and free of residues, as it will certainly hinder adherence.\u00a0The most suitable mortars are adhesive, adhesive and farofa concrete – conventional semi-dry cementitious.<\/p>\n

It is also necessary to know which mortar is indicated for the type of marble or granite, avoiding stains or efflorescences.\u00a0For white marbles, for example, white mortar, type ACIII, is recommended.<\/p>\n

But be aware: this type of mortar is not suitable for some types of granite,<\/a> such as yellow ones in general.\u00a0They have microcracks, being subject to efflorescence.\u00a0The most suitable for granite is farofa concrete, which is neither too dry nor too humid.<\/p>\n

This care with marbles and granites will certainly help you when designing a project.\u00a0Are there any questions about the subject or do you have any tips to share?\u00a0Tell us here in the comments!<\/p>\n
