What is artificial stone?
Artificial stone is one of the achievements of modern man, which was considered as a solution for the indiscriminate extraction of stone from mines and the destruction of the environment. With the advancement of science and technology, it became possible to design artificial stone in various and new designs and colors according to the needs of the market. On the other hand, the reasonable price of artificial stone compared to natural stone and its high resistance made it take a significant share of the materials market.
Artificial stone is known as one of the new building materials, which consists of the combination of polymer additives with calcium carbonate, Portland cement and water. The difference in aggregates or polymer materials is the basis for creating different types of artificial stone
.
The weight of artificial stone varies depending on its model and ranges from 15 kg per square meter to 70 kg per square meter. Artificial stone has a structure that allows its use both inside and outside the building on the floor and facade. The use of natural stones in the structure of artificial stone makes its behavior in different conditions very similar to natural stones. Also, the thickness of artificial stone can be changed and it can be cut into slabs or cubic blocks
