Natural stone heat treatment is a processing of stone surface by heating to the top layer melting temperature. This kind of processing reaches two significant advantages at once – improving the aesthetic qualities of the stone and increasing the level of its resistance to the negative external influences such as water, mechanical effects, chemicals etc. Heat treatment operating principle Natural stone heat treatment is used for removing polished layer and giving a roughness to the surface. Heat treatment is also called burning or fire processing of natural stone. This kind of processing is carried out by a high-temperature exposure (1,300˚C – 2,700˚C) to the surface of the stone. It is principally applied to granite.

Grinding of marble gives a possibility to get a matte surface of this excellent stone with uniform roughness. The roughness of relief when grinding and restoration is no more than 0,5 mm. Grinding of marble is performed with special equipment – rotor and grinding machines which are equipped with diamond or abrasive tools. The main advantage of a grinded surface is that it’s not slippery. So this kind of processing is often used when making stairs and floors in wet rooms. Grinding as a finishing stage of processing is often performed on marble with no peculiar pattern or color in order not to lose that magic magnificence which can be achieved on more interesting stones after polishing.

Natural travertine is a limestone rock which is a medium element between limestone and marble. Travertine is a popular natural stone which is widely used when decorating interiors and for exterior finishing works. A color scale of travertine is varied from light and almost white shades to deep brown tones. Mainly it consists of insoluble salt calcium bicarbonate which sediments from ground waters as a result of chemical reactions. Under high pressure and temperatures the sediment is packing down and turning into a stone. Physical qualities of travertine depend on the formation conditions and can be sufficiently different according to its deposit.

Because of climate conditions of most regions of our country where in winter there is a considerable amount of snow precipitation snow retention systems must be installed on every sloped roof. Snow falling in windless weather gently covers the roof and in the afternoon with the sunshine and rise of temperature it’s beginning to melt. In the evening there’s an ice crust because the temperature drops. Such a surface becomes rather favorable for fixation of the following snow layers. After the thickness of crusted snow on the roof reaches a certain amount there is a danger of its falling down. Having reached a certain critical point the snow often slides down the slope sharply like an avalanche. Sometimes it can capture a roofing material with it. Such situation can finish tragically for a human or an animal that was accidently found under the cornice of the roof or just near it at that moment.
