Building stones are one of the main sustainable and durable materials in construction. Depending on their type and composition, these stones are used in building facades, flooring, walls, bridges, and engineering structures.
High mechanical strength, long durability, and beautiful appearance for decorative and structural applications.
Travertine: With a porous texture and various natural colors, suitable for facades and flooring.
Marble: With a polished surface and luxurious colors for interior spaces.
Granite: Durable, hard, and suitable for flooring and industrial spaces.
Limestone: For cement, steel, and glass industries.
Basalt: With high strength for structures and infrastructure projects.
Quartzite: Resistant to abrasion and heat, suitable for flooring and facades.
