\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe porosity of a natural stone refers to the ratio of open space to solid volume. Granite and other igneous stones generally have lower porosities than metamorphic and sedimentary stones. The minerals present in the various varieties of stone are to blame for this. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\t\t \n \n\t\t\t\t
<\/span>What factors affect the porosity of granite?<\/span><\/h3> \n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe porosity level is determined by these tiny spaces' size and surface number. Although granite is igneous, as was already established, it is less porous than sedimentary rocks like limestone and travertine. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\t\t \n \n\t\t\t\t
<\/span>What do you mean by a high-porosity stone floor?<\/span><\/h3> \n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYour natural stone has more microscopic holes in it if the porosity % is large, and vice versa. The absorption rate, another characteristic of porous stone flooring, can measure the size or quantity of pores in any given stone. If a stone is not properly sealed, it is more susceptible to discolour or etch due to its greater absorbency. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\t\t \n \n\t\t\t\t
<\/span>While purchasing granite countertops, what should you take into account?<\/span><\/h3> \n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen choosing which stone to purchase for your house, porosity is an additional consideration that you should make, even if the appearance of granite countertops may be your initial point of concentration. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n
