What is hardened stone?

Hardened stone is a type of natural stone that is exceptionally durable and resistant to wear and tear. It is a popular choice for high traffic areas, kitchens, and heavily used exterior areas. The stone undergoes a process called "consolidation," which involves compressing and hardening the stone to make it stronger and more resistant to scratches, chips, and staining. Hardened stone can be found in a variety of colors and patterns, including marble, granite, limestone, and quartzite. It is an ideal material for floors, countertops, and other surfaces that require durability and longevity. Despite its strength and durability, hardened stone is still vulnerable to damage from excessive force, high heat, and acidic substances. Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensuring that the stone retains its strength and beauty over time.
