Stacked Stone

Showing the single result

Stacked Stone or decorative stone refers to a type of stone that is produced or processed in small dimensions, typically with a width of 5 cm, while its length varies depending on the type of stacked stone. Stacked or decorative stone can be either a completely natural stone cut from a natural slab or a processed product made from broken pieces and stone chips, or even from cement and polymers. Stacked stones are usually made from natural stones that are used in their completely natural form, without changing their color, and with the artistry of skilled craftsmanship. On the Vazin Stone online store, both natural and artificial stacked stones are available for order, as well as for supply in the field of stone export.

Natural Stacked Stone or Artificial?

Stacked stone is produced in two forms: natural and artificial. Natural stacked stone is primarily made from travertine, marble, and slate stone, as these materials are easier to cut and polish compared to other types of stone.

Artificial stacked stone is manufactured through a fully engineered production process. This type of stacked stone is made from a combination of natural aggregates with varying bulk densities, polymeric additives, sometimes cement, nano compounds, lightweight mineral-industrial aggregates in various required sizes, and mineral materials.

Artificial stacked stones can have advantages over natural stones for the following reasons:

• Because the products are engineered and produced in different sizes, they do not require cutting and are much easier to use.
• Unlike natural stacked stone, artificial stacked stone does not require a porous structure for installation, as specialized equipment is used during the molding process to facilitate easy installation and prevent the stones from falling.
• More durability of artificial stacked stone and prevention of fungus and bacteria in empty spaces in the stone due to lower porosity than natural stacked stones.

Materials of Stacked Stone or Decorative Stone

Standard stacked stones are produced from virtually all available types of natural stone, with travertine, marble, and onyx being the most commonly used materials, respectively.

1/ Travertine Stacked Stone

High durability, easy cutting and polishing, and a lower price compared to other types of stone have made travertine the most widely used material for producing stacked stone. In addition, travertine offers all the desirable characteristics required for both exterior and interior applications.

2/ Marble Stacked Stone

After travertine, marble is one of the most widely used materials in the production of decorative stone. With its excellent polishability and good durability, marble is extensively used in the production of stacked stone, and combining it with travertine and onyx creates attractive and visually appealing designs.

3/ Onyx Stacked Stone

Onyx stones are among the most luxurious and expensive types of stacked stone, or decorative stone. Thanks to their backlit qualities and polished surface, these stones are widely used in the creation of stone wall art and decorative panels. Installing the stone and using specialized lighting behind it creates a stunning visual effect and an exceptional appearance.

Stacked Stone Dimensions

Stacked stones can be supplied in various sizes, with widths ranging from 1 to 20 cm.
