Coil tile features

Serpentine is a legendary decorative and ornamental stone mined in the Urals. The Latin name "serpentinite" arose, possibly due to the external resemblance to the skin of a snake. The stone has many shades of color - from dark green to yellow-green. In ancient times, the serpentine was called the apothecary stone because of its healing properties.

Noble serpentinite has traditionally been used to make jewelry. The natural properties of the stone make it possible to use coil slabs also as a finishing material:

• high strength - the stone is not afraid of accidental mechanical damage, which expands the range of its use in decoration;

• environmental friendliness - does not emit toxic substances when heated;

• heat resistance - able to withstand high temperatures without damage;

• smoothness - the surface of the stone is quite smooth, which makes grinding and polishing easier;

• ease of processing - allows you to make products of complex shapes and with small details;

• ability to long-term preservation of heat;

• durability and wear resistance;

• antiseptic properties;

• moisture resistance.

Tiles are manufactured industrially from solid stone by cutting large fragments of serpentinite into plates of different thicknesses, which are then ground and polished on one side. Polished facing slabs with dimensions of 300x300x10 and 300x200x10 mm are most in demand in decorative wall decoration. Tiles 250x250 mm are used for facing fireplaces, stoves and small decorative elements. Sizes 300x300x20 and 300x600x20 mm are suitable for decorating walls, floors and plinths.

The manufacturer offers products with a thickness of 30 mm for the installation of countertops, stair treads, fireplace shelves. The thickness of 40 mm is ideal for decorating sauna stoves and home fireplaces.

Before buying a tile, you must carefully measure all surfaces that are supposed to be faced, and calculate their area. When finishing a stove or fireplace, an interesting option would be a chimney lining made in the same way (if possible)as well as adjoining walls, floor and ceiling parts. This will reduce the likelihood of fire elements of the building, in addition, make the interior of the room unique.

The assortment of tiles on the market allows you to choose the most suitable products in terms of size and thickness. The optimal dimensions for wall cladding or decorative elements are 200x200 cm or 300x300 cm. If the area for cladding is large, and the creation of a decorative surface requires minimizing the number of joints, it is better to use plates of 300x600 cm in size.

The tile has the same properties as the natural coil - high strength and heat resistance. This allows it to be used in oven cladding, wall and floor decoration. The surface lined with a coil quickly heats up and accumulates heat, then gives it away for a long time. This property makes serpentinite slabs ideal for baths, and especially for saunas and hammam where soft and dry heat is so important.

Decorating premises with natural ornamental stones has always been the privilege of rich and noble people. Due to the fact that the industrial production of coil tiles has now been established, this type of finish has become available to a wide range of consumers. The use of such a finishing material as cladding panels, floor coverings will make the interior refined and aristocratic. The tile will not only decorate any room, from the bathhouse to the hall, but also make the owners healthier due to their healing properties.
