What are the benefits of using porcelain stone?
Porcelain stone is in the category of metamorphic limestone and is composed of large and visible crystals. When a mass of limestone is subjected to pressure and heat, it crystallizes and transforms. The type of chemical composition and the amount of metamorphism of this rock varies according to the mineral from which it is extracted.

Porcelain is composed of minerals such as hematite, quartz, simonite, graphite and و and its main minerals are calcite and wollastonite. If the amount of quartz mineral in this rock is high, the rock will have a high hardness.

Porcelain stone is one of the practical stones in construction that is used for both the facade of the building and the interior decoration. Most people think that this stone is a product of China if this stone is extracted and exploited from the country's mines. Among the most famous mines from which this stone can be extracted are Aligudarz, Yazd, Neyriz, Sirjan and Azna Chinese stone mines.

Porcelain is a type of marble whose texture is crystalline. This stone is processed with low thickness for various uses. The strength of this stone is very high and even if its thickness is low, it will have a high compressive strength. The porcelain stones that are marketed are often white and without veins, and their crystalline type has fine crystals.

Crystalline stones are used to make building decorations and stone sculptures. These stones have a representative and unique glare and are always considered by architects and building designers.

This stone is also known as crystal stone and is used in most parts of the building from wet to dry places due to its extraordinary strength and durability. The most common use of porcelain stone is for building facades. This stone has a high resistance to water penetration, so it is used in centers and health services that need cleanliness and cleanliness. In addition, it can be used to build street table blocks.

Chinese stone color
The color of porcelain stone is pure white and crystalline, but it is also found in other colors such as light gray to dark gray, green, pink, red, yellow and cream. The main reason for this coloration is the presence of various minerals in the rock. The presence of carbon in these rocks makes them dark and light gray in color, and chlorite and various silicates lead to green spectra in them. In addition, creamy yellow limonite and manganese carbonate or hematite give the stone a red or pink color. In hot areas, light porcelain stone is mainly used to show the building, because this stone prevents heat absorption and keeps the building cool.

Advantages of Chinese stone
Porcelain stone has a high resistance to surface and deep weathering, so it can be used with ease in the facade of the building. This stone absorbs a small amount of heat due to its light color, therefore It is a cool stone.
Crystal rock, as its name implies, has crystalline particles and transmits light. This type of rock is resistant to water penetration due to its very low porosity and is not damaged even if it is exposed to water for a long time. Compressive strength, strength and longevity of this stone is high and does not crack against impact. Diverse and beautiful color spectrum of this product completes the design of construction projects.

The difference between porcelain stone and marble
The difference between porcelain stone and marble
There are differences between porcelain stone and marble, which may be difficult for those who are not fully acquainted with this industry to distinguish between the two. In this article, we are going to acquaint you with the differences between these two stones.

Marble is a type of sedimentary limestone, while marble is a type of limestone resulting from metamorphism. Commercially, the Chinese are called white sugar stones, which have a very high hardness, but scientifically, porcelain or crystal stone is a limestone that recrystallizes due to increased heat flux due to the injection of hot magma or high pressure.

The difference between porcelain and marble in terms of geology
So marble is not necessarily the same as aragonite. Geologically, marble is called metamorphic limestone and is called Marble and Onyx, but commercially, it is called marble and marble and is a combination of metamorphic or non-metallic limestone and dolomite.

Coarse-grained, white or light gray to cream marble is called porcelain. Marble stones are mainly known for use in parts such as the interior of the building, and their prominent characteristics include the variety of colors. Of course, in between, we have porcelain and crystal stones, which are sometimes referred to as the same, and for example, they are also called crystal porcelain.


 The use of porcelain stone for facades and outdoor spaces is completely technical and correct
Marble in indoor environments have a higher durability and durability than open spaces, but porcelain is completely technical and correct for facades and outdoor spaces. Chinese resistance to surface and deep weathering is moderately good and remarkable.



Color difference between porcelain stone and crystal stone
The color of the crystal is generally dark to light gray with gray, black, and yellow streaks. And marble in various types

Yarns are produced and processed in Iran. Marble is used in the body of stairs, parking lots, floors of buildings and porcelain in the facades of buildings - stairs - paving - sidewalks - stone tables, stone artifacts, etc. goes.

What is granite?
What is granite?
Granite is derived from the word "granum" and is usually composed of quartz, mica, feldspar. The texture of this stone is in the form of grains that these grains may sometimes be microscopic and sometimes their dimensions reach even a few centimeters and a few meters. This rock is usually formed in the Earth's crust due to the cooling of molten material, but the cooling process of these rocks is slow and for this reason we see a special hand in their grain texture and like other volcanic rocks We do not see them as sponges.

 Granite and its types
In general, granite is observed and classified into three categories. Granite rocks that were formed about two million years ago, which is called the pre-geological period, were formed. These stones can not be used as decorative stones because they were formed during the Earth's orogeny.

In principle, the granites that are used for building work and are aesthetically valuable are related to the Mesozoic and Cenozoic periods in geology. Since granite rocks have different appearance depending on the time and conditions and place of their formation. , The main color that is considered for it is the color of its paste or in other words the color of the majority of its elements.

What are the elements of granite?
The chemical composition of granites consists mostly of silicon and aluminum, which make up about 85% of the composition of granites, and the remaining 15% are elements such as: titanium, iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium.

The main minerals forming granite
Granite is composed of the main minerals which are: quartz, plagioclase, potassium feldspar and other dark minerals. The amount of these minerals in granite determines the name of granite rocks. Also, sometimes other minerals such as pyrite, hematite, mannite and ilmenite are found in granite rocks. In the following, we will explain the granites that have been identified with other names due to the presence of more or less percentage of minerals. :

Granophytic granite rocks: This type of granite has fine grains of crystals that are made of quartz and feldspar that these fine grains have grown inside each other and have formed this type of granite.

Aplite granite rocks: This type of granite is composed only of quartz and feldspar and is likely to be a very small amount of mafic minerals, the texture of this granite is called apilite.

Pegmatite granite rocks: This type of granite has a coarse grain texture.

Of course, it must be said that some granites may be metallic minerals such as mercury, manganese, magnetite, copper, gold and silver.

Granite rocks and their texture
The texture of granites is granular and these grains are spread from medium to large on the surface of granite rocks and are usually semi-shaped. (That is, they appear to be in a state of existence and disappearance). Coarse grains of potassium feldspar crystals are found in granites called porphyry textures.

Also, in some granites, very fine minerals such as apatite and sphene are found in very small sizes. Of course, there is another category for the texture of granites, which is called block, mass and rubble, as well as one of the textures. Very common in granites Granular texture that this type of texture can be seen in the form of fine to large grains in ceramics.



Marble and its types in the Iranian market
Marble and its types in the Iranian market
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock based on calcium carbonate that is composed of calcite, dolomite and crystals that have long been used in the construction of buildings in Rome, Greece and other parts of the world.
