• Aesthetics and beauty. Rich palette of natural stone colors – every marble or granite tile has its own color and pattern. Natural tracery of veins and specks is never repeated.
• Solidity and usability. Stone and mosaic finishing of a bathroom is not subjected to deformation; stone is resistant to abrasion and different mechanical damages while operation. High-quality performed wall and floor finishing the bathroom with natural stone rules out the possibility of scratches, cracks and chips on the surface.
• Longevity. Resistance of the stone used for finishing the shower room to temperature differences, water and other effects of surrounding environment. Throughout the lifetime service natural stone and mosaic do not change the original appearance. Lifetime service of such covering is almost unlimited.
• Ease of operation. It’s rather easy to look after stone tiles and mosaic. In order to wash the dirt off you just need to wipe it with a damp cloth.
Palaces and temples have been decorated with mosaic and natural stone since the times of Sumerian Civilization. Also these magnificent materials were widely used in the design of luxurious buildings in Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece and in the East.
The most widespread rocks for finishing hammams and bathrooms are:
Marble. Marble hammams and bathrooms might be the most luxurious: incomparable natural tracery of veins, polishing gloss, wealth of colors. Marble shower rooms and bathrooms can be polished or made from artificially aged marble “antique”.
Granite. Granite is two times more durable than marble, it’s a solid and dense stone which is resistant to abrasion, extreme pressures and has high level cool resistance. To prevent slipping while finishing hammams they use heat-treated and processed with bush hammer granite.
Onyx. Onyx is used in interiors of luxurious hammams, bathrooms and shower rooms as it’s a semiprecious and translucent stone. It has a unique quality to transmit light; by its physical characteristics it’s similar to marble but much more solid.
Besides texture and color while finishing bathrooms and hammams with stone and mosaic various kinds of processing stone can be combined: matte, polished, glossy, heat treated and artificially aged “antique”. Using one or another texture allows playing with color contrasts and light effects.
Mosaic and natural stone are very versatile materials allowing creating special, individual and original interior in hammam, bathroom and shower room.
