Interior Decorating with Artificial Stone
Artificial Stone Veneer
Introduction:
Decorating with artificial
stone is traditionally used for the decorating of
facades of buildings, gazebos, fences, or for the
creation of such architectural details as columns
and fireplace mantels. Limiting the use of
artificial stone for only external use has been
wrong. Decorating with artificial stone in the
house interior can bring originality and uniqueness
into the home. This material commonly used as a
stone veneer for the interior decoration of hotels,
shopping centers, billiard rooms, restaurants,
bars, country houses and apartments.
Artificial stone has no limits
in choice or texture and color. There are all sorts
of fancy variations of textures, colors and styles.
For example, a stone replica of simulating and
interior design for a seabed with fragments of
coral and shells is easily achievable.
Artificial stone is perfect to
finish an interior winter garden open space that is
subjected to UV light and moisture. This green
living environment for plants will look great on a
background of decorative artificial stone, creating
a feeling of space and harmony of unity with
nature.
Because of artificial stone
resistance to different temperature and moisture,
interior designers often use it for decorative
fireplace portals. To insure that over time the
facing does not fall off, it is necessary to use
heat-resistant glue to install it.
Applying artificial stone to
walls, dining rooms, kitchens, corridors, and
offices gives the room an elegant and respectable
look. This eliminates the need for frequent
redecoration that is often the case when using
other material. Artificial stone in the interior
can last for decades. Its colors do not change or
fade over time and the texture needs no special
care.
Artificial stone perfectly
mimics the texture of different rocks and
thin-walled brick. A collection of artificial
stones can make angular elements which are
difficult to make out of natural stone. This
permits the use of an artificial stone to
restoration of various older fragmentary
architectural structures that need repairs.
Another advantage of this
material is its weight. The weight is much less
than the weight of natural stone. This makes the
artificial more convenient to use and more
affordable. Using artificial stone for interior
decorating is a great alternative to using natural
tone because it is much lighter, less expensive and
easy to work with.
