Granite and marble are one of the best options when it comes to covering your home, both for the exterior, due to its resistance and easy maintenance, and for the interior, because it gives an elegant and noble touch to your home. So in this post we are going to guide you so you know much more and you can choose your façade or stairs in marble or granite.
Both materials are amazing, although we recently got a lot out of marble with decorating ideas in this other article.
You may be thinking of changing the stairs in your house.
Or maybe you want to placate stone on the outside to cover the facades or perhaps put some fences for the windows.
In this post we talk about all this to give you some basic ideas.
Stairs
If they are for the exterior, the recommendation is granite , without a doubt. For wet areas it is always the best option.
In the case of the interior , the options are several:
Granite for high-traffic areas.
Marble for single-family homes is a good choice.
You can also opt for a compact marble. This variety is a prefabricated alternative that is characterized by very uniform and smooth colors, although there are also veined ones.
Facades and enclosures:
Both for the façade and for surrounds, you can opt for cladding in granite from the Country called fort bend.
The tone can go from gray to tan.
And the finishes are polished, bush hammered or shot blasted, and honed .The usual thing is to use bush hammering or shot blasting for enclosing and the window sill in honed, as they allow better cleaning.
The quartering of the material for the façade can vary, depending on the shape of the building. The larger the pieces, the more expensive, since the waste is greater.
The frames can be made of 2 or 3 cm sheet. or block of 8 or 10 cm.
The thicker, the more it enhances the window. However, the size of 2 or 3 cm. It is the one that is most commonly worn.
