Portugal
offer 16: different surface
finishes generally worked on are as follow and some detail about different
materials as well.
Sandstone/ Limestone - we can provide these materials in
the following colours - Apple White, Peach White, Dawn Pink, Honey Dawn, Red
Fantacy, Autum Way, Country Way, Star Dust Koth Blue, Star Dust Koth Grey, Star
Dust Koth Brown, Teak, Rainbow, Tuscan Beige etc.
These materials can be provided in the shape of Tiles,
Slabs, Blocks as per requirement and specification of sizes and thickness
considering the application area and its suitability.
Surface Finishes:
1. NATURAL SPLIT FACE - surface has natural endulations
(riven finish) and their level of endulation will depend upon a particular
material and their natural deposits and formation since it is a sedimentary
rock.
2. HONED SURFACE - just a flat rubbed surface and this can
be further classified as Rough Honed or Fine Honed. Rough Honed may have some
scrach marks etc. and no shine where as Fine Hone will be without scratches and
with little shine. The same can be further improved as Polished
Surface.
3. HONED and SAND BLASTED - honed surface will be further
sand blasted to achive matt finish look and the degree of sand blasted surface
can be further controlled from - Fine, Medium or Coarse by selecting the medium
of sand blasting material, its grade and pressure.
4. SAWN - when perpared from blocks by cutting with
circular-saw or gang-saw the diamond segment finish which is just flat, plain
finish with some saw marks and same can be removed if required by doing the
process of honning, i.e. Sawn and Honed.
5. CHISELLED DRESSED SURFACE - these are the surfaces
perpared by doing chisell, hammer dressed and the effect & degree of this
can create various finishes like - Fine Chisseled Hammered Dressed, Rough
Chisseled Hammered Dressed or the designer surfaces as per design, patterns
created on the surfaces. Some other effects that can be created are defined as -
Double Punched, Single Punched, Picked, Tooled & Boasted, Vermiculated &
rock faced, etc.
Further it is suggested that once you narrow down on your
choice of material, sizes, thickness, prelimery selection and requirement of
surface finish as per area of application and required designer effect you can
always interact with your proposal for confirmation on any techanical limitation
andits feasibility. India
offer 15: Referring to yr enquiry
re limestone,we hv no idea what size project you hv or the quantity req. But we
could roughly propose to you off white good quality limestone straight fm the
quarry (cut or block form)depending on yr requirements any quantity possible in
a short time at reasonable prices. However, for the outside you could use rough
cut or chipped stone, and for inside cut stones not too polished (excellent
polished also possible), but everything depends on yr taste and other factors in
yr project. If interested, pls advise more details and price/types interested
in.
offer 14: Limestone is a type of
rock made up mostly of calcite, a mineral form of calcium carbonate. Most
limestone is grey, but all colours of limestone from white to black
have been found. All limestone are formed when the calcium carbonate
crystallises out of solution. It leaves the solution in many ways, and each
way produces a different kind of limestone.
Limestone can be formed almost completely without
the aid of organisms. This type of limestone is forced out of solution when
the water evaporates. Evaporation of water in limestone caverns forms another
variety of limestone, called travertine, into stalactites and
stalagmites.
Some limestone can be formed by the work of
organisms. Many aquatic organisms draw calcium carbonate out of the water
and use it to make their shells and bones. The oysters, clams, snails,
corals, and sea urchins do this. When the animals die, the shells and bones
are broken up by waves into shell and coral sand and mud.
Limestone makes an excellent building stone because
it can be carved easily. Some factories use limestone to clean waste gases
and water before releasing them into the environment. Limestone is also
used to make lime and to smelt iron ore.
Limestone 1: Limestone is
typically formed over many years at the bottom of oceans or lakes from the
accumulation of shells, bones and other calcium rich goods. If this limestone
is subjected to intense heat or pressure and a few millennium, a
crystallization will occur and the limestone will become a "true marble".
Chemically they are both still Calcium Carbonate (TUMS), but the marble
will have a crystalline structure and the limestone will have relatively
flat appearance.
Limestones that will take a polish are
considered marbles by most people, but technically, if there are still
shells visible or the structure is not crystalline, it is still
a limestone.
Limestones that have magnesium in them are
called"dolomitic limestones" and are typically much harder and more
resistant to weathering. A typical characteristic of dolomitic limestones
are their capability of taking a flame finish.
Limestones are typically used for flooring, wall
cladding, vanity tops, furniture, and often times ornate
stonework.
offer 13: We are experts and
exporters for french and other limestones.
Especially for public buildings you should be aware that
limestones can be extremely different in density and durability.There are
various possibilities in colour and structure what softer species
concernes.
But there a few types which can be recommended for public
use.
Especially surfaces which are flamed and honed are only
possible with more dense types.
This surfaces allow a easy cleaning and do have a very
attractive look.
Flamed surfaces, which are usually only known for granite
can be made with some rar types of limestone and are very usefull for outside
flooring.
We are able to offer various types of this kind of
materials and we would be happy to answer all further questions for your project
and to offer the materials you are looking for.
