The nature and formation of the marble tile staircase
Calcite (CaCO3) rich rocks such as limestone, dolomite after a long period of time are affected by temperature and pressure within the heart of the earth, have transformed and become metamorphic rocks. Today, they are commonly known as marble, or the popular name in Vietnam is marble.
Its metamorphosis process is possible because the original rocky mountains are generally distributed in areas with tectonic plates (where there are cracks in the earth’s crust), where geological activities are always there. At first, they weren’t underground like we did, but were only knocked down when there was geological activity there. Various colors, high aesthetics, harmonious appearance and can give a high shine when polished, are also the advantages that Marble is popular and selected for the application of especially I have a staircase.
The important properties of marble in the staircase
Hardness: when the temperature and pressure impact enough on the original stones, the glass particles inside are nourished and cared for growing. By the time they get big enough, they can merge or become tight. This improves its hardness and the porosity will be much lower than the original stone.
However, the hardening of the original stone did not classify it into hard rocks either. Because considering the Mohs hardness scale, it only has a range of 3–4. That means it is still vulnerable to strong impacts from hard objects accidentally touched. Therefore, when marble is used for applications, people should pay attention to this problem, to have ways to take care of conservation accordingly.
Effect on acidic substances: due to the high content of Calcite (CaCO3), they are easy to work with acids. Besides the substances that contain the acid content inside, it sometimes comes from our daily diet. And when this happens, you should also ensure that your stone surface is covered with a protective agent before laying the mosaic.
Colors: The color of marble stone is often much higher than that of the original stones. Even in ancient times it was only used for royal and religious purposes. This is because many minerals, the surrounding soil, often get mixed up when geological activities occur. This diversity of colors and colors has led marble to a superior position among other decorative materials with the same purpose.
