Facing Plates
Granite facing plates are high-quality materials prized for their exceptional durability, being four times stronger than concrete, and resistance to abrasion. They can be used for a variety of purposes, both indoors and outdoors, thanks to their long service life, ability to withstand sudden temperature changes and high humidity, as well as their impressive decorative properties
Exterior Applications
- Building Facades
- Socles
- Steps and Platforms
- Outdoor Flooring
Interior Applications
- Flooring in High-Traffic Areas
- Kitchen Countertops
- Bathroom Vanities and Walls
- Fireplace Surrounds
Flooring in High-Traffic Areas: Shopping malls, railway stations, administrative buildings, and others.
One of the key advantages of granite facing plates over artificial alternatives is their ability to be manufactured in non-standard sizes and shapes. This flexibility allows for the creation of large-sized plates, individual mosaic parts, and products with unique configurations, enhancing both practicality and aesthetic appeal
Variants of Tile Processing
Polished Slabs
Polished slabs are renowned by their glossy, mirror-like surface, showcasing rich colors and emphasizing the natural stone pattern. They offer enhanced longevity
Applications:
- Interior wall and floor facing
- Facade and socle finishing
- Internal steps
- Interior decor
Bouchard Plates
These plates feature a matte, slightly rough surface with a maximum relief height of 2 mm, offering excellent anti-slip properties and enhanced safety
Applications:
- Paving tracks and various sites
- External steps and entrance ramps
Thermally Treated Facing Slabs
Featuring a rough surface with a relief height of up to 5 mm, these slabs highlight the natural crystal structure of granite and offer superior anti-slip effects
Applications:
- Paving various platforms and tracks
- Entrance ramps and external steps
- Anti-slip strips on steps
Sawed Facing Slabs
Sawed slabs have a matte surface with visible tool marks, providing good anti-slip properties and slight color variation, making them suitable for various applications
Applications:
- Facing various sites
- External steps
Module plates
Non-standard tiles
Breccia
Colored facing
Module plates
Modular granite slabs are a type of granite facing slab with standard dimensions and specified thicknesses: 10, 15, 18, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mm. They are widely used for both interior and exterior decoration due to their numerous advantages:
- Strength and Reliability
- Long Service Life
- Frost and Moisture Resistance
- Low Degree of Abrasion
Non-standard tiles
Non-standard slabs of natural granite are facing materials with dimensions that differ from modular products. The ability to manufacture plates with custom dimensions is a key advantage of natural stone slabs, offering several benefits:
- Reduced Need for Trimming: Minimizes the number of seams and joints.
- Faster Installation: Speeds up finishing work, saving time.
- Enhanced Reliability and Longevity: Ensures a durable and long-lasting cladding.
- Complete and Integrated Appearance: Creates a seamless look, enhancing the prestige of any project.
Breccia
Breccia tiles are irregularly shaped pieces of various sizes, typically produced as by-products from the manufacturing of other natural stone products. These tiles are commonly used for facing both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Granite breccia, in particular, offers a distinctive and visually appealing option for various architectural and decorative applications.
Colored facing
Chipped facing plates feature a completely or partially chipped surface. Coarse-grained granite is ideal for producing these tiles due to its effectiveness in chipped form. These plates are moisture and temperature-resistant, have an almost unlimited lifespan, and are resistant to dust and contaminants. Chipped granite slabs are commonly used for vertical finishing of building facades, fences, socles, and other architectural elements.
Types and Features of Column Plates
- Column with 2 Sides:
- Description: Features a punctured front and back with a sawed perimeter. The front side is pinned from two or more sides.
- Characteristics: Voluminous and convex surface but requires additional effort during installation.
- Column with 1 Side:
- Description: Has a chipped front and sawed backside. The front part can be pinned from several sides.
- Characteristics: Simpler installation process.
- Cut on the Perimeter:
- Description: Standard tile (modular, heat-treated, polished, or sawed) with a facial pod perimeter.
- Characteristics: Combines the benefits of a standard tile with the aesthetic of a chipped edge.
