Water absorption is different in various stones and generally, sandstone and limestone absorb more water than granite stones, which absorb less water overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"abrasion-resistance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abrasion_Resistance\"><\/span>Abrasion Resistance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abrasion resistance refers to the stone&#8217;s hardness and resistance to abrasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bending-resistance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bending_Resistance\"><\/span>Bending Resistance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bending resistance is the measure of a stone&#8217;s potential to bend without breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stone-efflorescence\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stone_Efflorescence\"><\/span>Stone Efflorescence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone efflorescence is the term used to describe the deposition of salt and mineral salts caused by the evaporation of mortar water and the stone&#8217;s composition behind the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vazinstone.com\/blog\/stone-efflorescence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Stone efflorescence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_answers_from_the_summary_of_the_article\"><\/span>Questions and answers from the summary of the article<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h5 class=\"saswp-faq-question-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Terms_of_structure_%E2%80%93_appearance_of_stone\"><\/span>Terms of structure \u2013 appearance of stone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Color contrast \u2013 porosity \u2013 water absorption \u2013 abrasion resistance \u2013 bending resistance \u2013stone efflorescence <\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h5 class=\"saswp-faq-question-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stone_processing_and_installation_terms\"><\/span>Stone processing and installation terms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Book-matched \u2013 four-matched \u2013 flaming \u2013 ridging \u2013 ashlar stone \u2013 bush hammered \u2013 wavy and waveless \u2013 twist wave<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h5 class=\"saswp-faq-question-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Terms_related_to_size-2\"><\/span>Terms related to size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Tile \u2013 slab \u2013 shelf angle \u2013 slate stone<\/p><\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, we attempt to explain the Key Terms In The Stone Industry and give a succinct and clear definition. This article includes the following: Terms related to size Stone Blocks Large chunks of stone that are extracted from quarries are frequently shaped like cuboids or cubes and they might not have a regular geometric shape as a result of the method of extraction. These stones are called stone blocks and stone-cutting factories receive these stones for processing and cutting. Slate Stone Slate stones are natural stones (disharmonious stones), and they are formed by cutting larger stones into irregular shapes. These stones can be used to make road walls, tunnels, pathways as well as the outside walls of buildings and the flooring of walkways. Slab Stone Large chunk of cut stone, at least one meter long and one meter wide, with a thickness of 18 to 30 mm. Slab dimensions are usually 170* 280 cm. Stone Tiles Stone tiles are square\u2013cut stones that are often utilized as floor stones. Stacked Stone Sacked stones typically have dimensions of 5 cm in width and 3 cm in thickness.
