Stone plates are used for paving mostly large areas of flat shape, construction of stairs, as well as facing facades or plinths of houses, fences etc. Additional heat treatment is performed for paving horizontal surfaces in the open air with intense load, which significantly reduces slippage. Polishing gives a mirror look and shine and it is often used for stairs, window sills, kitchen surfaces etc. Plates with split front side “rock” give to walls an ancient charm and they are often used for facing of vertical surfaces.
