The dimensions of building stones mean length, width and height in the sizes of building stones that stones according these dimensions are cut by the machines.
Block:
The block stone is the raw stone that is cut from the heart of the one mountain by cutting machines.
The appearance of this stone can be regular or irregular, so that they are seen as quadrangular or hexagonal.
Rectangular blocks and square blocks are samples of quadrilaterals that are mostly easily to sale and export abroad.
Regular block stones that have standard size to slab-size when entering stonework and factories.
Block stones that are not regular or be smaller transform into smaller regular tiles.
Block stones have three types of classification:
Single block stones:
It is the best type of building stone that it will be transform into slab and super quality stones.
As mentioned, finally this stone transforms into super quality stone that has a pores and colored veins.
double block stones:
This stone is a second category of block stones, that this is smaller than first category and two pieces of this type of stone will be transport in each trailer.
three block stones:
These stones are smaller than the second category and can transport three of these samples of blocks or more in a trailer.
This category of stones has lower quality and price.
In fact, higher the number of blocks in categories, have lower price.
Rubble stone is also included in this category because it is smaller than other blocks.
Slab:
Slab stone is same as block stone that after cutting and processing transform into slab.
The shape of the slab stone is rectangular, which has the length and width as well as the thickness of the stone.
Dimensions of slab stone:
Slab stone can be seen in different dimensions in width between 1-2.5 meters and in length between 2.5-3 meters.
The large dimensions of the slab stone cause use this stone in the floor of luxury building, yard of villa houses, the floor of hall, as well as use in walls and various parts of conference halls; etc.
What determines the price of slab stones is related to the dimensions of the slab stones and material and color uniformity.
One of the special features of slab stones is the adhesion that the material requires to stick in mortar and cement which cause the slab stone adhesion more and more.
Slab stones in smaller dimension can be used as a kitchen counter and open table.
Rubble :
Stone mines that cannot quarry the block stones therefore, quarry irregular and small stones that called rubble stone.
Rubble stone use in same way that it is mined.as a result, it doesn’t have a regular shape.
The usage of rubble stones in the foundation building and apartments, flooring, walls along bridges and park, curb construction.
Tile :
Stone with equal lengths and widths such as:40,50,60 or custom-made dimensions are called tile stones.
The difference between slab and tiles is in their dimension and size.
