For example, marble is afraid of acids, alkalis andsusceptible to mechanical impact - it can be seriously scratched even by sand. So it will not last long in the hallway, where tons of dirt is brought in from the street. In this area, it is worth laying durable granite, although it also has its drawbacks - after polishing it becomes slippery. So it is not suitable for the bathroom, it is better to use sandstone or dolomite (the latter has a porous structure, so it easily absorbs and evaporates moisture). Slate is also suitable for a wet area. Its rough surface remains non-slip, even if water is spilled on it. The adhesive for laying the stone is selected depending on the type of rock: for example, granite likes compositions with a low water content, and waterless glue is suitable for marble. A gap of 2-3 mm is left between the slabs so that the stone can "breathe". And your floor, like a capricious young lady, will require regular cosmetic care. Most of all, it likes cleaning procedures (use products from General, Bellinzioni, Lithofin Akemi). Polishes not only remove dirt, but also form a protective film on the stone.Natural stone laying
