Natural stones refer to earth-mined or organic items used as decorative objects and construction materials. Marble, limestone, granite, slate, quartzite, sandstone, laterite and basalt are some of the commonly used natural stones. They are hand-selected pieces of stones that took millions of years to be formed by the combination of heat and pressure. Natural stones are widely used in flooring, wall cladding, countertops, backsplashes, sculptures, decorative items, roofing, bathtubs and swimming pools. They exhibit various properties, such as density, strength, color intensity, appearance, hardness, color blend, texture and structure. Natural stones are durable, environmental-friendly, easy to maintain, and cost-effective and are available in various textures, shapes, colors and sizes. As a result, they are widely used in the construction of residential, commercial, hospital and educational buildings.
