Installation and finishes in stone and marble

After the resounding success of our free masonry course is that we decided to bring you this manual installation and finishes in stone and marble. Although we love to see this luxury material such as stone and marble on house facades, we can also install it on our own, knowing the exact technique. That is why we tell you that if you liked this idea, do not detach yourself from the screen because right now we are starting!

Installation and finishes of stone and marble

Both marble and stone are considered luxury materials but this does not mean that they are used very little, since in recent years the growth of their use has been extraordinary. These materials have different compositions, structures, gloss, texture and even hardness. They are usually widely used for floors and stairs for their aesthetic sense and for their duration over time. Next we will show you the installation and finishes in stone and marble, let's see.

Marble Installation

Marble is the most perfect type of crystalline limestone. They are often used as one of the wealthiest building and decoration stones. As we will see in the installation manual and stone and marble finishes, it is a compact and crystalline stone with good polish.

Different groups of marbles

Marble can generally be divided into five main groups:

  1. The unicolor marbles, among which stand out the statuary white of Carrara, the black of Belgium and that of the Borrego hill, in Orizaba.
  2. . The marbled marbles, of infinite variety that there are them in all parts of the earth, of very different colors.
  3. The composite marbles, which contain materials that generally come from plutonic rocks, among which is, the cipolino marble, from the Genoa coast, which contains fragments of green mica in its greenish paste.
  4. The fossiliferous marbles, which are formed by a paste in which many shells, snails and fossil remains in general are seen; as a type of these, the one extracted from the Escamela hills, between Orizaba and Córdoba, can be pointed out.
  5. The marbles brocateles, composed of angular fragments and other marbles brought together by a paste, they are generally beautiful types that have been tried to be artificially imitated; These marbles, due to the large number of small cracks they have and the foreign matters that entered into them, do not resist weathering and often not even moisture, so they should be used only indoors and sheltered sites.

Installation and finishes in marble

If we want to install marble on floors, the way to do it is very similar to the way to install ceramic tiles, but there are some things that change in their installation. Some installers present the marble slabs first to be able to follow the drawing and not err in the installation detail. On many occasions, it is usual to start from the center of the place to the ends to obtain a better general pan of the drawing that we will make. As we will see in this installation manual and stone and marble finishes, the placement of the marble is done using a thick layer of cement in the area where it is to be treated. The floor, in turn, must be completely compact and clean to avoid installation errors. If possible there should be a variation of less than 2mm.

Installation and Finishes in stone and marble - The application of the adhesive

Something very important in this installation manual and stone and marble finishes It is the application of the adhesive that is carried out by means of a trowel. It must have notches so that the mixture is homogeneous and thus be able to place the marble with great care since it is a material that can fracture or break when handling. All this is done considering a joint that is not greater than 5mm. In many cases, resins are used as some types of marbles have porosities in their composition.

When a few hours have passed, it is necessary to be able to seal the joints, which are made with grouts and we will apply it with a hard rubber trowel. It will be used to verify that the grouts no longer descend to the joints and thus ensure a correct installation of the marble.

Marble Installation Manual

In the days after the installation, we must carry out the polishing processes that are carried out with the reduction of the grain grinding wheels, until the desired shine is obtained. In this way we protect with a water-soluble non-slip wax. As a last resort, we suggest cleaning these floors with water and solutions that are not so aggressive to avoid damaging their shine, such as: metal spatulas or fiber sponges, as they can cause scratches on the surface of our marble.

Installation manual and finishes in stone and marble - The stone

The stone mainly comes from the exploitation of sedimentary rocks such as sandstones. In many cases, they allow them to be worked without presenting difficulties because they are materials for wall cladding and, subject to good use and maintenance, they last many years.

installation manual and stone and marble finishes

Characteristics of the stone

These stones are formed by grains of sand, gathered by a silico, calcareous and clay foundation. Silicose sandstones are very hard and difficult to work because of their tendency to chip. On the one hand we have the cream stone which is a soft clay rock that is used mainly for making figures. Then we have the White stone which is harder than cream stone and its best known use is in wall veneer. Finally we have the stone doll which is also known by the name of "mona" stone due to its particular color, yellow with streaks of coffee. It is considered the most hard stone and is compared to the hardness of travertine marble. It is widely used in floors and baseboards of all types of construction.

Facades of houses in decorative stone

The types of stone to decorate a facade They can be so varied depending on the region where they are obtained. Granite, marble, quarry, limestone are the decorative coatings that are most frequently applied in facade designs. The shape of the stone is what makes our walls different and unique, resulting in modern facades with decorative stone.

installation manual and stone and marble finishes

Modern stone facades generally set the pieces to bone. In other words, the pieces are placed next to each other without any joint between them. This way of laying embellishes the modern house facades. We can also get slab-type stones, whose narrow and small shape favors their placement, making them practically not join and give very beautiful results on a facade.

Modern houses with exterior stone cladding

The straight lines of the house together with the large windows make an ideal combination for the stone cladding of the exterior walls. If we observe the tonality of dark and gray colors, it goes very well with the wooden details of the construction.

Models of bathrooms decorated with white marble, ideal specimens so you can use them at home or work

Today Facades World we will play a song at the request of some readers in order to solve their doubts and also provide them with copies that they can use in their respective works or their own home. It will be the turn of bathroom models decorated with white marble, so get started ...

Bathroom models decorated with white marble

La use of marble in modern bathrooms is nowadays something that we will normally see inside a house. However, there are many people who do not know their advantages and disadvantages and can not make a decision based on a real knowledge of the chosen material, that is why today in Facades World we will solve these doubts so you can decide if using this material is the most suitable option for your home.

The white marble bathrooms They bring with them another series of characteristics and positive aspects that are important when decorating and that we must take into account before choosing bathroom colors in a resounding way. One of these characteristics is the large amount of light that they introduce into the interior space and the way in which they open that same space. This tone can also be used in the bathrooms in the form of laminate, tiles or mosaic or also with marble.

One of the main advantages of marble and the reason why people usually choose it to use it in their interior design in small or large houses It is the final aspect of modern bathrooms. The shape of which the image of elegance is achieved concerns two of its main characteristics. On the one hand, the marble has a finish and a bright surface that reflects the light inside, thus achieving a gloss effect that increases the feeling of luxury inside.

Another feature by which marble gives that look to the interior are the decorations with swirls and veins in marble tiles. Thanks to these ornaments, the tiles become unique pieces, since none of them offer the same ornament and the same shapes. At the same time, another of the great advantages that marble offers us and that is related to another of its characteristics is durability.

Moreover, marble is a very appropriate material for bathroom decoration because it presents a great variety of colors, designs and ornaments. Surely, after having read the advantages and characteristics that marble offers us, many of our readers may think that it is a rather expensive material and yet the reality is different, since there is a wide variety of prices between which they can choose that suits their means and their pockets.

As for its disadvantages, which are not many but can lead to not choosing this material, are: the maintenance of the product and the constant fact that it is prone to stains. On the one hand, we must not forget that marble is made of limestone, a porous material prone to spots appearing easily. Therefore, the most important thing in these cases to avoid dirt and stains is that the marble must be covered by a protective layer.

El bathroom maintenance decorated with marble It is also considered one of the disadvantages of this product. The reason is that they have to use special cleaners, softer and chlorine-free and after cleaning, they have to dry it before the water has dried. The reason is that they have to avoid the absorption of water by the product.

From Facades World We hope that these copies will be of great help. We remind you to follow us on Facebook, Pinterest y Google +. We meet again very little dear readers ...

Kitchen Coating - Which One Is Best For You?

Today Facades World after several feedbacks we have decided to make an article of kitchen coating, thus solving the doubts of many of you. So if you are interested in this, do not move from the screen because we start this new post right now ... Let's get started!

Examples of kitchen cladding - Which one to choose for your home?

The kitchen as we all know is one of the favorite spaces in the home but they have the disadvantage of being spaces that are continuously exposed to heat and humidity. That is why for the room to be functional and look renewed in its appearance there is a wide variety of materials to cover them. Some of the solutions for kitchen coating These are usually tiles, acrylic paint or stainless steel which are usually the most popular.

Kitchen coatings

For many years almost the only option for kitchen coverings It used to be the classic tile. Many people were suspicious of other elements and hardly anyone got out of it. But the arrival of other natural and synthetic materials such as granite, quartz, glass or stone among others have managed to give a total change to kitchen design. By the way, they brought the plus of adding aesthetics and new uses to this space that is so crowded daily in each home. Then We show you different trends, spaces and advantages of kitchen coverings. Take note!

Kitchen coatings

Elements to consider before choosing the coating for the kitchen

When choosing coatings for the kitchen we must bear in mind that it is a space that is in constant contact with humidity and subjected to heat. Therefore we must review some elements before opting for a type of coating. Cleaning It is one of the elements to take into account since the cooking vapors tend to carry grease throughout the room, including our walls. That is why cleaning in this space will be frequent, therefore look for a material that is easy to clean.

Kitchen coatings

The resistance The material we choose to cover the kitchen wall must withstand the cleaning elements we use. On the other hand, they must also be resistant to high temperatures, especially if it is near our kitchen. The calculation of the area to be covered It is very important since we must know the exact surface to be covered so that we can make the cost of the materials that we will need for the work. Installation of the materials, if possible it should be in charge of a professional. A fact no less especially if we must remove a pre-existing material from the kitchen that we are going to cover.

Kitchen coatings

The style of the coating it must be analyzed in advance. The walls of the kitchen as much as possible should follow the guidelines of the style of the furniture we have and the floor. In this way we will achieve a harmonious and functional kitchen. Finally we must choose something that is not minor, the color. It is a key element because the visual effect of our space will depend on it. Light colors achieve a visual effect of spaciousness and luminosity, while dark color changes generate the opposite effect.

Kitchen coatings

Kitchen cladding materials

As we mentioned earlier, each material that we can use to cover kitchens will be different from each other. Each one presents some benefits that will make us lean towards choosing them over another, but before them we must know them all. Below you will see all the features that will help you choose the best one for your kitchen.

Kitchen coatings

Kitchens lined with stainless steel

Today stainless steel surfaces are gaining popularity as kitchen coverings. These are in high demand for professional use and are perfect for adding an industrial style to your kitchen. Even, thanks to their ability to reflect light, they can go very well in small rooms, making them seem more spacious for this feature.

Kitchen coatings

Inexpensive Kitchen Coatings - Paint

If we do not have a lot of budget to cover our kitchens, one of the cheapest materials that we have at our disposal is paint. The only thing we have to take into account is that it is appropriate for this environment. The most commonly used paints for this space are usually acrylic and plastic paints due to their fast drying characteristics, resistance to high temperatures and high resistance to humidity. Some of them even have the characteristic of being antifungal, which becomes ideal for kitchen walls and ceilings.

Kitchen wall tiles with wallpaper

The custom of wallpaper the wall It is an alternative that is no longer exclusive to the rooms, but is used in spaces such as the bathroom and the kitchen as well. Today there are options on the market for painted vinyl paper that have much more resistance, especially considering that we are going to clean it frequently. It is an excellent economical option that only requires that the wall has a smooth finish and is ready for its placement to be extended as long as possible.

Kitchen coatings

Glass-lined kitchens

If there is an element that is extremely novel to cover kitchen walls, without a doubt that is glass. This element perfectly resists heat, humidity and, above all, any type of stain can be cleaned without much effort. It can be transparent or with a lacquer that can be found in a large number of colors. Surely you are wondering what happens if the glass breaks? Very simple, as this type of glass is prepared like car windshields, so it will need a very strong impact to break. If that happens, it can be changed in a very easy way as you do with any car.

Kitchen coatings

Ceramics for covering kitchen walls

The most chosen option over time and above all very economical is ceramic to cover the wall of kitchens. The resistance that ceramics usually provide is complemented by the resistance to humidity that this material contains. The cleaning and maintenance of ceramic is very simple, which is why it is so chosen to cover kitchens all over the world. Best of all, kitchen coverings have a wide variety of colors, textures and shapes that can make us create our own personalized space in our kitchen. Among the ceramics available for kitchens we find porcelain, tile and stoneware.

Kitchen tiles

Among the most modern tiles that we can find on the market is the one with beveled edges with its rectangular shape. The durability and ease of cleaning kitchen tiles is undoubtedly indisputable. A characteristic that does not go unnoticed is that this material among the ceramic for the kitchen is one of the most economical.

Kitchen coatings

Porcelain tile for kitchens

Porcelain tile is the material of choice for those people who are afraid that a blow could damage their coating. The reason for this choice is given that porcelain tile offers great resistance to shocks and is extremely waterproof. If we look at kitchens with porcelain tile, we can see that their joints are hidden because the size of the mosaics is usually much larger than that of traditional ceramics.

Kitchen coatings

Stoneware in kitchens

If there is one element that is chosen for the kitchen floors, that is stoneware. But since we know that stoneware resists water and high temperatures very well, we can also place it on our walls achieving great results. Best of all, it comes in a wide variety of colors and textures. Many of them even manage to generate the same effect as wood or natural stone. Due to its large size, it is usually very simple to clean, which is ideal for the kitchen.

Kitchen tiles with marble

If you have a large budget for covering your kitchen, the option of cladding it with marble will delight you. What this material achieves in its aesthetics is to make places modern and elegant but if we abuse it a lot it can transform our kitchen into a cold environment. That is why from our website we recommend combining it with materials such as wood that works very well.

Kitchen coatings

Concrete or cement kitchen liner

If you are looking for a rustic and inexpensive coating for the kitchen, without a doubt that material is cement. It is an element increasingly used in the kitchens of all homes. The key to this coating is that it is a low-cost material, the texture gives it a rustic look and you can easily combine it with other materials such as wood, stainless steel or even marble. If you want to learn how to make cement and make the coating on your own, here we leave you the video tutorial so you can do it.

Kitchen coatings

Kitchen tiles in natural stone

As a last option to cover your kitchen with a rustic style, we show you that natural stone is an element that can go very well in your kitchen. To do this we can find natural and artificial stone panels that provide color and texture for your kitchen cladding. The stones are usually placed on a cement base that is reinforced by a fiberglass mesh that facilitates both the placement and the security against future detachments of the same. The stone has the particularity of being a hard, compact and very resistant element. If you want to learn how to place this element, you can visit our guide to place stones and marble for free.

The types of stone to decorate a facade They can be so varied depending on the region where they are obtained. Granite, marble, quarry, limestone are the decorative coatings that are most frequently applied in facade designs.

Natural stone for facades

There are natural stone slabs with irregular shapes, which cover the walls with very attractive organic shapes. It is also possible to cut pieces of stone with regular shapes, according to the projected facade design.

Irregular shapes in stone finishes achieve very attractive organic effects. The decoration of facades with stones of irregular shape are generally laid with a split joint. In this way the organic shapes of the stone are better distinguished.

Modern stone facades generally set the pieces to bone. In other words, the pieces are placed next to each other without any joint between them. This way of laying embellishes the modern house facades. We can also get slab-type stones, whose narrow and small shape favors their placement, making them practically not join and give very beautiful results on a facade.

This type of marble stone It is used within the construction area, in laying polished floors, and in exterior decoration. The pieces of marble stone slab they are often translucent. You can also get marble in various colors such as white, red, black, green, gray, yellow, and blue. The coloring can be uniform, marbled, streaked and with various color mixtures. In the projects of rustic natural stone facades, placing marble is an excellent idea that does not make the project more expensive.

Stone finishes for facades
Granite: a great stone for facades

Granite stone is an igneous stone that occurs in nature by the cooling of volcanic lava that does not cool on contact with air, but under large amounts of upper earth.
