Defects & Quality

No Redness

no_redness

No Redness is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.

Used with

Flexural Strength

Flexural strength is maximum bending stress before failure—checked in QC for slabs and tiles. Important for thin spans and exterior cladding design.

Efflorescence

Efflorescence is visible crystalline salt deposit on masonry or stone surfaces from moisture transport. A defect/appearance issue managed by detailing and cleaning.

Dense Material

Dense Material is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.

Vein

Vein is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.

Abrasion Resistance

Abrasion resistance measures how well a stone face withstands wear—critical for floors and paving. Datasheet values should match the sold finish, not only the rock type.

abrasion resistance

Bowing

Bowing is concave or convex deformation of a stone panel after installation—often from moisture or thermal effects. A defect/performance risk on façades.

Water Absorption

Water absorption is a lab property of stone porosity—key for exterior and wet-area suitability. Lower is not always better for every look; match to use and finish.

Breaking Load

Breaking load is the maximum applied load causing specimen failure in strength tests. Technical datasheet property for structural design.

Breaking Load

Frost Resistance

Frost resistance is the ability of stone to withstand freeze–thaw cycles—critical for exterior paving and cladding in cold climates. Datasheet property.

Breakage

Breakage means breaks or cracks in stone material during handling, transport, or use. Quality/claims language on packing and insurance.

Homogeneous Stone

Homogeneous Stone is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.

Open Porosity

Open Porosity is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.

Porosity is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.

Rift

Rift is a preferred cleavage or splitting plane in stone, used when producing natural cleft faces. Technical cutting language.

Exfoliation

Surface scaling or layer detachment caused by stone deterioration. Quality or defect language used in inspection and claims.
