Material Composition | Outdoor structures requiring durability | Industry Standard: Limestone (50 MPa) ▲ Our Base: Granite (120 MPa) ▲ Our Advanced: Polished Granite (150 MPa) (ASTM C172) | Superior strength for long-term use; resistant to abrasion and corrosion | Higher cost than limestone; heavier to transport/install |
Weather Resistance | Coastal areas with high humidity | Industry Standard: 500 freeze-thaw cycles ▲ Our Base: 1000 cycles (ASTM C666) ▲ Our Advanced: 1500 cycles (ASTM C666) | Withstands extreme temperature fluctuations and moisture exposure | Requires professional installation to avoid cracking from thermal stress |
Aesthetic Design | Architectural landmarks, garden decor | Industry Standard: Matte finish ▲ Our Base: Polished (Gloss Unit 70) ▲ Our Advanced: High-gloss (Gloss Unit 90) (ISO 2813) | Enhances visual appeal with sleek, modern finishes | Polished surfaces may show scratches; requires regular cleaning |
Structural Integrity | Supporting heavy pergolas or gates | Industry Standard: 3000 kg/m² ▲ Our Base: 5000 kg/m² (EN 1991-1-1) ▲ Our Advanced: 7000 kg/m² (EN 1991-1-1) | Safely supports heavy loads; ideal for structural applications | Requires reinforced foundations for advanced models |
Customization Options | Matching existing architectural styles | Industry Standard: Standard sizes ▲ Our Base: Custom sizes (ISO 9001) ▲ Our Advanced: Custom sizes + designs (CAD modeling) | Tailored to specific projects; integrates seamlessly with existing structures | Custom orders may have longer lead times |
Maintenance Requirements | High-traffic outdoor areas | Industry Standard: Annual sealing ▲ Our Base: Bi-annual sealing ▲ Our Advanced: Self-cleaning surface (ISO 15197) | Reduces maintenance frequency; hydrophobic coating repels dirt/stains | Advanced coatings increase upfront cost |
