Natural stone specifics
|
Possible deviations and variations in the colors and textures of the stone tiles are expected (resulting from the natural origin and formation of the stone).

Pre-sorting by color or caliber, as well as preferences for nuances, patterns, or color variations in the stone, is not possible in advance.

The "Desert Rose" decorative stone is a popular type of decorative rock that stands out for its beautiful and natural appearance. Composed of two minerals, this unique stone resembles a blooming rose. Though it may appear delicate, it possesses a range of therapeutic properties, such as stress relief. Therefore, the "Desert Rose" decorative stone can be used anywhere in your home and garden, not only as a striking ornament but also as a means of improving your mental and emotional balance.
This stone is also known as "Desert Rose" because of its sandy composition. Most stones are based on one of two minerals, selenite or barite. Its formation process is influenced by three main elements: water, wind, and sand. The crystal lattice phenomenon occurs when crystals form in dry, sandy conditions, such as the evaporation of shallow saline pools. The Desert Rose is also known as sandy selenite gypsum and barite rock. The "Desert Rose" decorative stone is sourced from various locations around the world where the appropriate geological formations are present. Typically, this type of stone is found in regions with desert climates or dry and semi-arid areas where erosion processes and natural influences such as wind and water have contributed to its characteristic texture and color.
One of the key features of the "Desert Rose" is its natural color, which ranges from sandy and brownish tones, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
This type of decorative stone is widely used to shape various elements in garden and landscape design. It can be applied to define the edges of pathways and pavements, to create garden borders, in combination with water features, in rock gardens, and in relaxation areas.
Due to its aesthetics and durability, the "Desert Rose" decorative stone is a popular choice for creating beautiful and functional garden spaces. It adds a natural and elegant look to the garden while also contributing warmth and coziness to the surrounding environment.
Having this selenite stone near your house or office can help remove energy blockages and improve mental clarity, while also bringing prosperity to your business. It can help enhance decision-making skills and is known to assist with epileptic seizures. Selenite is a powerful cleansing element and a conduit for healing white light. Some of the most valuable products originate from the most unlikely places: diamonds from coal, pearls from oysters, and the Desert Rose from sand.
Like every beautiful thing and like every natural material, natural stone requires proper care and maintenance.
We recommend: always treat stone surfaces with the right products for natural stone!
Regardless of the type of stone and its location, a single application of sealing agent will save you unnecessary worries and greatly facilitate maintenance.
Everything needs care. Use the high-quality German products from AKEMI, with which we have been working and recommending for years.
The treated impregnated surface does not allow water and contaminants to penetrate.
The protection with a sealer provides resistance against the destructive cycles of freezing and melting in external conditions. Water simply does not absorb when the stone surface is impregnated but forms droplets.
Depending on the type of sealer, it may not alter the external appearance of the stone or deepen its colors. Choose among the following types of sealers:
"Universal" sealer, which does not change the appearance of the stone and protects against water.
"Wet Effect" - a powerful sealer, like the Universal one, but with colors standing out in a more intense contrast.
"Stain-Free" is the best sealer: it protects against water and grease, also without changing the external appearance of the stone.
The frequency of reapplication depends on conditions and the usage of the stone tiles (whether it is flooring and traffic intensity). Usually, AKEMI recommends every 5 years for exterior stone, flooring + wet areas, and 10 years for interior stone (wall cladding).
How to apply the sealer? - It's easy, like child's play. The stone surface must be clean and very dry. The liquid is applied undiluted with a roller, sponge, or brush. If the surface is smooth polished or matte, a second step is required: the so-called "polishing" with a microfiber cloth for 20 minutes after applying the sealer. And we're done.
What cleaning products are used for natural stone? - Some types of stone, such as marble and travertine, are sensitive to acidic, very strong cleaning agents (e.g. bleach). We recommend: always clean your stone surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaning agent.

How to breathe new life into natural stone in the exterior?
In a few steps, natural stone can be restored to its original state, in its full brilliance and aesthetics.
First and foremost is regular cleaning and at least once a year thorough washing with a pressure washer. This is particularly important for our outdoor furniture products (barbecues, sinks, tables, countertops, and pavement tiles).
Once the surfaces are clean and dry, do not forget to apply a sealer.
Tip: Protect your outdoor flooring from furniture that may rust.
For specific stains such as oily spots, efflorescence (cement milk), mold, cement residues, or grout mixtures, silicones, or paints, it is best to contact us directly for consultation. Count on us; we will provide you with the right products to address the issue, wherever and whenever possible.
The durability of natural stone depends on the specific porosity of the stone type and its water absorption levels. For example, the porosity of granite and gneiss is around 1%, while sandstone has over 20%.
The biggest destructive enemies for items, coverings, and pavements exposed year-round are the sun and freeze/thaw cycles. When the stone is sealed/waterproof, you will receive maximum protection and much easier maintenance.
In severe cases of areas with contamination, the non-polished stone surface can be treated with an angle grinder and fine sandpapers. This process removes the top layer of the stone, making it look like new. (The process is similar to sanding wooden parquet.)
Stone is the best friend of the yard and garden. With love for beautiful, natural materials and proper care, the stone will continue to bring you joy for many years to come.
