Even at the construction stage, each owner thinks about what kind of appearance his house will have. Manufacturers of finishing materials offer a huge number of options for cladding facades. They allow you to give the building a spectacular and unique appearance. Stone has always stood out from this variety. Torn material is widely used in the decoration of private houses and cottages, as it best emphasizes the status and exquisite taste of the owner.
At the same time, it is not necessary to use expensive and heavy natural material. Today there are several types of fragmentary stone. And some of them have a fairly affordable cost.
Torn stone tile
An excellent alternative to a heavy boulder today is its imitation. Tile "fragmentary stone" is of several types. It can be used for exterior and interior use. For external cladding, products made from natural materials with the addition of marble chips are used. Its front side is made in the form of an uneven surface with various depressions and protrusions, which creates a "chipped" effect.
The use of natural components and coloring materials makes the tile as similar as possible to a real crumbled cobblestone. The positive features of the material include high strength, resistance to temperature extremes, fire safety, long service life and, of course, lightness compared to a real stone.
To decorate the internal walls, gypsum material imitating stone is more often used. The ragged version of gypsum is ideal for decorating corridors, dining rooms, arches, columns and other surfaces that are not in contact with the external environment. This species is characterized by lightness and affordable price, and it is quite difficult to distinguish it from a real plate.
Torn facing brick
Cladding brick is made by decorative splitting. One of its sides is exposed to it. The chipped part of the brick subsequently acts as the front side of the facade, due to which it acquires a torn texture.
Finishing with such material helps to insulate the building, protect its walls from destruction and increase the fire safety of the entire building. Facing fragmentary stone is not subject to the negative effects of ultraviolet rays and moisture, and also withstands temperature extremes. It is worth noting that the facades faced in this way for many years do not require any repairs. And this allows you to save the owners of the house from unnecessary trouble and additional costs.
Natural material
Natural materials have always been distinguished by the ability to emphasize the nobility of any interior. For this purpose sandstone, limestone, marble, granite, onyx are successfully used. And if the latter is extremely difficult to meet in the interior, then wild stone is available to a wider circle of consumers. Using a blade is an ideal and economical solution. It allows you to replace a real stone. The material gets a torn relief in the process of chipping it from a large piece to be processed, resulting in curly plates of various sizes.
Wild stone is distinguished by the ability to maintain its initial appearance for a long time, since it is completely unaffected by natural factors and has a long service life. Excellent compatibility with various materials for decoration allows you to create luxurious and unique interiors both inside and outside buildings.
Scope of fragmentary stone
Tiles are actively used in facing facades, decorating fences, fireplaces, pillars and other surfaces. The low weight of the material allows its use on the walls of small structures with a weak foundation. At the same time, installation is quite simple and will not cause difficulties even for novice masters.
Facing brick is popular in the decoration of facades and basements, as it is able to reliably protect and strengthen the walls of any building. Keep in mind that the material has a fairly large weight. And this can negatively affect the foundation of the house. In most cases, before installing such a cladding, the base must be strengthened. Often, owners of cottage sites decide to use torn stone for the fence, masonry pavement or garden paths, as it has proven itself in outdoor conditions.
The scope of wild stone is not limited. Different thicknesses and sizes allow it to be used both for facing bulk constructions, and for more elegant and small works.
Conclusion
Modern building stores are filled with stone materials. Torn brick has many types, each of which is distinguished by its uniqueness and a number of positive characteristics. Lightweight artificial tiles, strong and reliable bricks, noble and presentable marble, simple and warm wild stone will help to realize many unusual solutions. These materials will make ordinary objects a real piece of art and luxury. Which type of stone to choose, the buyer decide. The main thing is that the material is in harmony with the surrounding interior, creating a feeling of coziness and comfort.
