Artificial stones: we create the finishing material by our own hands

Anyone who has started to build his own house wants it to be not only functional enough and comfortable to operate, but also unique in terms of design solutions. You can buy natural finishing materials, and you can also make artificial stones with your own hands. Moreover, the latter have recently gained increasing popularity among the population.

There is a huge amount of various finishing materials: from the cheapest to the prohibitively expensive. However, the most popular and "favorite" are natural materials: different grades of stone and wood. Unfortunately, for "naturalness" it is necessary to pay a fairly high price. Not all have the means for such materials for building and finishing the house. What is so valuable in natural materials? First, its useful properties. They cause far less harm to human health and the environment than, for example, plastic. And secondly, its external aesthetics, which gives them greater appeal in the eyes of consumers.

If the external appeal of natural materials is important to a person when decorating a house, and the means are not enough for them, there is a way out. You can simply choose decorative stones made "for natural materials." In principle, outwardly fakes are no different from the original, but in the price of significantly winning. With regard to performance, the artificial wood and stone meet all the requirements of durability and environmental friendliness.

To make decorative artificial stones with their own hands, use various Portland cements. At further stages of processing, they are mixed with a variety of high-quality artificial dyes and natural additives. Due to the numerous mixing options, the consumer gets a wide choice.

Such finishing material is presented in stores in a variety of variations: from imitation of the texture of large massive smooth cobblestones and ending with small angular elements of rocks with an uneven surface. Do not miss the opportunity to make artificial stones with your own hands. In fact, this is not so difficult. To do this, you will only need cement, fine sand, water and special forms of polyurethane rubber.

A variety of shapes, types and colors, in which an artificial stone can be made (reviews of it can be seen on any construction forum) allows, without limiting the imagination, to turn a dwelling into a real medieval castle or a mansion of feudal times.

The mass of such stones is much less than that of natural stones. And the most important advantage of this material is that any person can make artificial stones with his own hands in complete external correspondence with the original natural material. Durability of aesthetic appearance and long service life are also guaranteed.
