Practical information for building owners
Building owners must consider various practical aspects when deciding on natural stone. In addition to aesthetic quality, economic factors, maintenance requirements and environmental aspects play a decisive role in making an informed choice.
Costs and profitability
The specific costs vary considerably depending on the type of stone and origin. When evaluating the cost-effectiveness of natural stone, it is important to consider not only the purchase price, but above all the service life. Although the initial investment may seem higher, this is put into perspective by the exceptional durability of the material. The cost of extraction and production is also significantly lower than for other materials.
Care and maintenance
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the value of natural stone. As a general rule, regular cleaning prevents dirt from penetrating the stone and forming stubborn stains. For weekly maintenance cleaning, we recommend using a mild mop water additive with active washing substances and nourishing natural soaps.
Important to note:
- Household cleaners such as washing-up liquid are unsuitable as they clog pores
- Do not use acidic cleaning agents (vinegar, lemon juice) on calcareous stones
- Special impregnations can protect against staining
The care requirements differ depending on the type of stone and area of application. It is therefore advisable to obtain stone-specific advice before purchasing.
Making the right choice of natural stone
