Features of Natural Stone Flooring

Water Absorption Rate

The term "absorption rating" describes a stone's capacity for porosity. A very porous rock is more vulnerable to deterioration, fracture, heat, and discoloration. The maximum rate of water absorption is seen in non-vitreous stones. Semi-vitreous stones require a lot of upkeep and are vulnerable to liquids. Compared to other rocks, vitreous stones are less porous. The impervious stones are very waterproof.

Coefficient of Friction

This relates to a stone's coarseness, particularly in terms of slippage. You must consider purchasing a natural stone floor with a flooring rating of 0.5 while looking for possibilities. This indicates that it has a high level of traction.
