No natural product can reach the natural stone water. Because not only does he look beautiful and natural, he is also 100 percent. In addition, its resilience and robustness is hard to beat. In wind and weather, in outdoor areas on house walls, on paths and floors, terraces and stairs. Indoors on firewalls, on floors, as worktops and window sills and much more. Natural stone is unique in its texture and surface and can be compared neither visually, nor in its use and application with equivalent building materials and materials in this regard. Whether the extremely natural-looking sandstone as a companion to feet in the garden or on the terrace. The granite, as an all-rounder and in its diverse application probably hard to beat. Or the high-quality marble floor or the countertop in the kitchen, polished to a high gloss, bringing shine and elegance to any room. Basalt, granite, marble, slate and Co. They are the ones that, as constant companions in everyday life, come across in different ways, consciously or unconsciously perceived several times a day, and which we enjoy every day.

Natural stone in the kitchen
Already several decades ago, good kitchen planners and designers recognized that natural stone as a countertop is an ideal base material. For on this extremely hard rock you can do almost anything that makes it popular and what is necessary in a kitchen. Even a marble countertop can not do anything fast if you wash your vegetables and put hot pots on it for a while. Precisely for this reason, appropriate materials are the first choice when investing in renovation, A little heat and cold, the marble is well away. Water and other liquids as well. The only thing he does not like, and that affects almost all natural stone products, is acids. They leave ugly prints and wreaths. But even at your feet, marble is not a bad choice in the kitchen, because the nobility and elegance of the marble is no further natural stone after. Granite floors, however, are far more robust than marble and also less expensive and are therefore usually selected when laying the floors within the kitchen. Beautiful sills, floors, stairs and Co. made of natural stone can be found in many variations and unusual shades here, Slate is often found in kitchens also more and more frequently laid as floor, or as a splash guard on the Herdrückwand. Slate is also robust, being not quite as strong as marble or granite. Fats and oils also leave dark spots on the shale, which will fade only slightly over time. Last but not least there are usually other elements in kitchens that are made of natural stone. Most window sills for indoor and outdoor use are made of natural stone. Again, the most common is the granite rock.

Natural stone in the garden
Of course, we find natural stone most often in the garden and on terraces when it comes to outdoor areas. Because here are especially the stones basalt and sandstone. Not only do they look extremely natural, they are as robust and strong as their counterparts granite and slate, for example. The only downside to this beautiful rock is that the surface is very soft. The structure is very variable and naturally relaxed and therefore looks extremely natural. As a rule, it can not be ground and polished like all other natural stone products and is therefore often laid as a path plate or terrace tile. Beautiful is sandstone, if the look of the house or the garden should be attributed to a Mediterranean flair and missed. Then he looks very beautiful and conveys pure nature in perfection. Slate rock is rarely used outdoors, but every now and then you can find slate quite as house linings, or even staircases and steps. Slate is also occasionally seen as a walkway, but since the fracture capacity of slates is higher than that of all other natural stone products, other types of rock are usually used to ensure that they are safe. What always looks very nice are benches and borders of pools in the garden of sandstone. They are indeed very nice to look at and again give the impression of a holiday residence in the middle of the garden again. Even sidewalks and small bridges over ponds, for example, are often built of sandstone because of the beautiful natural look.
