Stone Density

Stone Density is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.
Used with
Flexural strength is maximum bending stress before failure—checked in QC for slabs and tiles. Important for thin spans and exterior cladding design.
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.
Color variation is natural shade and pattern difference within a selection—rated light to strong by many suppliers. Not a defect if within the sold range.
Efflorescence is visible crystalline salt deposit on masonry or stone surfaces from moisture transport. A defect/appearance issue managed by detailing and cleaning.
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.
Bowing is concave or convex deformation of a stone panel after installation—often from moisture or thermal effects. A defect/performance risk on façades.
Dense Material is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.
Vein is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.
Frost resistance is the ability of stone to withstand freeze–thaw cycles—critical for exterior paving and cladding in cold climates. Datasheet property.
Breaking load is the maximum applied load causing specimen failure in strength tests. Technical datasheet property for structural design.
Breakage means breaks or cracks in stone material during handling, transport, or use. Quality/claims language on packing and insurance.
Homogeneous Stone is a defect or QC term used when checking stone surfaces, edges, or material soundness before acceptance.
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 is a preferred cleavage or splitting plane in stone, used when producing natural cleft faces. Technical cutting language.
Saw marks are linear surface traces from stone sawing. May be left as a rustic look or removed by grinding/honing. Defect or intentional texture depending on order.
