An Introduction
The usage of natural stones is enjoying
renewed popularity owing to the recent improvements
in stone processing technology, better construction
techniques and innovative architectural
designs. These stones are an excellent choice
in situations involving demanding environmental
conditions, high aesthetic standards or
extreme chemical and mechanical durability.
In cities, corrosion and weathering of construction
materials by air pollution often requires
the use of granites and other silicate rocks
on building facades.
