Our stone processing company buys stone or quartz already in sheets of 1, 2 or 3 cm thickness, with already processed surface plane - polished, matte, burnt and antique.

Finding the quality of a stone is difficult, if not impossible, for a non-professional. Often, a stone of the same name can vary greatly in both color and pattern. It very much depends on the stone mines, where they are located and who owns them. Quality is also significantly influenced by how the stone is obtained. The most financially advanced and professional companies in the world use mining equipment and technology for cutting stone blocks from rocks. Financially weaker - blasting stone vaults and then cutting blocks.
Our stone processing company buys stone or quartz already in sheets of 1, 2 or 3 cm thickness, with already processed surface plane - polished, matte, burnt and antique. Granite sheets can be up to 3.40 m long, marble, onyx, travertine sheets up to 2.90 m, quartz up to 3.2 m long.

Quartz


TECHNISTONE
By websitebuilder 29 Oct, 2019
Technistone is an artificial stone or composite material, also often called as quartz. Technistone contains 90 per cent of granite and quartz sands, some of them also with mirror particles. Technistone appeared as an alternative for those who like natural stones and prefer to have practicable, nice and at the same time very sustainable worktops in their kitchens. The difference from a natural stone lies in the absency of pores, cracks and cells. Natural stones cannot be monochrome, but Technistone worktops are monochrome, snow white, brown, beige, grey and other. To get white colour white sand is additionaly bleached. The material contains polyester resin as one of the ingredients, and with colour pigments polychrome is being achieved. A recently new trend is tones of classical natural stones and marble pattern. Technistone stones do not compete with granite, though they maintain all practical peculiarities characteristic for the latter. They are applied for lining kitchen worktops, stairs, grounds, fireplaces and swimming-pools. The stones are suitable for places with heavy load, like airports, supermarkets, offices, banks and hotels. It is easy to create mosaic and various decorations combining different colours. The sizes of Technistone slabs are 3180 x 1550 mm or 3200 x 1600 mm. The whole assortment of Technistone stones are also available in sizes of tiles – 300 x 30 mm, 400 x 400 mm, 600 x 600 mm and so on. Width of slabs is 1.2 cm, 2 cm and 3 cm. The thinnest and lighest of them are used for lining kitchen walls and floors. This is very comfortable since it allows to combine stones of one title for different products.It is worth saying that minimal width of a natural stone is 2 cm. Thanks to its surface friendly to foodstuff, this material is very appropriate for kitchen worktops and bar counters. In kitchens it is actual to decorate with stones resistant to heat. The material has low water absorption coefficient and it is fire-proof.

Natural stones


Granite is one of the hardest, most solid and most easily worked with, natural materials. Granite is a fire-proof material, as well as it is sustainable to scratches and heat. This material has low absorption coefficients of water and dye-stuffs. It is ideal for use in both interior, and exterior decorations. Granite will serve for ages. It is not influenced by changeable weather conditions and temperature, which are frequently observed in Latvia.

Marble is a rock composed of recrystallized calcite. In Latvia marble is used only in interior decorations. It is marked by more expressive pattern than granite. Colours of marble can be both bright, and pastel. This is a very impressive and luxurious rock. Marble is softer and more porous than granite. That is why it is not practically used in production of kitchen worktops, because they are either scratched, or absorb oils, fats and various colourful liquids, for example, wine or juice, that can leave unremovable stains. Marble is an ideal material for decoration of walls, bathroom surfaces, fireplaces, shower rooms, saunas, heated massage tables, etc.

Onyx’s peculiarities are alike those of marble. The difference lies in light permeability of onyx. Lighting it on the other side one gets an inimitable effect similar to a painting. It is frequently used in lighted walls lining, bar countertops or vapour baths, more seldom in floor covering and in rooms with light load only.

Travertine. By way of a joke this rock is called as a Latvian one, because of its light and quiet colours. It reminds us of very customary colours of sand and dolomite, the most often occurring in Latvia mineral resources, frequently applied as a building material. We observed that our clients also like spongeous structure of travertine, that looks very decorative and unusual. ‘Spongeous’ travertine is rather used in various wall decorations. For floor covering this spongeous material is chosen with special invisible mastic that prevents from getting through some dirt. In any case, if one chooses travertine, they have to think over whether the place in question will not be influenced by oils or fats, acids or various dyeing liquids, such as wine, jams, juices, etc.
Types of Stone Finishing

Polishing surfaces are glazed and reflect light, because while finishing the pores of a stone get closed. Within the process of polishing a stone reveals its natural beauty, it becomes brighter and more expressive. This type could be named as a classical one, because this is one of the most favourable and popular of all other types. It is applied for kitchen and bathroom surfaces, fronts and basements of buildings, interior stairs, and floor covering in rooms with heavy load.
For antique surface, in its turn, shine is not characteristic, surfaces are matted. This type of finish reduces gliding of a surface, and a stone is a little more relief than in polishing finish. Nowadays, in minimalist style this type is very topical and in demand for kitchen and bathroom surfaces. It also can be used in other lining, for example for walls and various decorations. Those who choose this type think that exactly antique finish is the closest to the nature because of its rough and as if untreated look.

Flamed surface has high coefficient of friction, it is rough and uneven. This type is an ideal decision for outdoor grounds and stairs, because the surface is not gliding. Unlike polishing surfaces, a colour of flamed ones is not so deep. Specialists recommend renewing the protection cover of the surface once a year treating it by special chemicals.

Leather silk finish. One wishes to constantly touch such a stone, because its peculiarities characterize the name of the type. The stone is matted, even, relief a little. The difference from a polishing one – it is not so bright and glossy, and from an antique surface – it is not so rough. As a hit of the recent time designers busy in creating modern and minimalist interiors like this type very much. We observed recently that admirers of classical interior also begin choosing this type of finish.

An important benefit of choosing a natural stone - marble, granite, onyx, travertine or quartz - is its lifespan. Changing built-in kitchens and other furniture is expensive, complicated and laborious. In addition, the fashion trends of furniture facades and fittings are changing. Natural stone or quartz will not change its original luxurious appearance, so the look of even outdated furniture will remain consistently great.

It is preferable to look at any of the natural stones on a large plate rather than a small sample as there is usually a significant difference in color and pattern. Nervation shown in the sample takes up only a small part of the plate, the rest of the plate may be monochromatic or, on the contrary, expressly spotted.
SENSA GRANITE BY COSENTINO
SENSA GRANITE BY COSENTINO SENSA is a high quality granite. Each Sensa plate differs from other materials with its unique pattern. Cosentino Company is exposing granite to an invisible, long-lasting chemical treatment which, when absorbed into the surface, does not interfere with the material's "breathing". This technology enhances the natural properties of granite and extends its life. This technological process changes the nature of granite, and the material itself prevents the absorbtion of liquids such as water, coffee or oil. Thanks to its natural properties, Sensa materials have the ability to retain their color and protection against UV radiation. 

Sensa surfaces from Cosentino® are a great choice for kitchen and other surfaces, thanks to their durability and the natural beauty of natural stone
