Learn more about marble
Since ancient times, marble stone has been used in the construction of buildings in Rome, Greece and other parts of the world. Marble stone is a kind of metamorphosed limestone with colorful minerals.
Calcite is the main mineral that forms marble, which crystallizes and becomes coarser during the metamorphosis process. When limestone is exposed to high pressure and heat, it transforms and marble is created.
This type of stone can be found both uniformly and with streaks of various colors. The streaks seen in marble are due to the impurities that existed in the original limestone. The color diversity of limestone is due to the presence of materials such as iron oxide, silica, mica, serpentine, graphite and calcareous materials in its structure.
Types of marble
Although most people confuse this type of stone with its family member, which is marble; But there is no similarity between marble and marble, and marble is obtained from the transformation of travertine; But not marble. In Iran, there are different types of travertine, traunix, marble and marble.

According to the degree of transformation of the mother stone, marble is divided into three categories: porcelain stone, crystal stone, and abrite. Onyx brand marble is the result of the transformation of limestone. A stone that is generally affected by pressure and heat during metamorphism, as a result of recrystallization, finds a distinctive crystal structure. Most marbles have interlocked textures. In fact, marble has endured more changes than marble.
Characteristics of marble stone
The specific weight of marble stone is about 2560 kg/m3 and in terms of compressive strength and reliability it is higher than travertine and lower than granite.

Also, this stone is vulnerable to acid, despite its reliability against moisture, if it is exposed for a long time, this stone undergoes changes and erosion. Considering these cases, using it in the area and spaces that are permanently exposed to moisture and factors are atmospheric; It is not recommended unless special maintenance considerations and favorable physical conditions of the stone are used.
Application of marble stone
Some marble stones have very high water absorption due to their calcareous nature. For this reason, they should not be used in places where there is a lot of water, such as toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. This stone is not resistant to natural factors such as rain, cold, heat, and weathering like travertine and is weaker.
Therefore, if marble stones are used in places that are subject to contraction and expansion, they will become brittle. The difference between marble and marble; Marble is a type of sedimentary limestone, while marble is a type of limestone resulting from metamorphosis.
One of the important points is to protect the back of the stone against moisture and to clean the pollution from the surface of the marble stone, which should be paid attention to.
