About natural stone
Natural stones are generally defined as all stones that can be found in nature. Natural stones are excavated in stone quarries and afterwards they are cut to measure and processed according to the different surfaces in stone-processing enterprises such as the natural stone enterprise Cuorta Bau GmbH. Unevenness, colour differences and embeddings cannot be avoided with natural stones and give finally also the particular charme to this material.
The possible designs of the stone surfaces of natural stones depend on different factors. For example on the stone family, the thickness of the material, the character of the different minerals in the stone, customer requirements etc. Natural stone has got a wide spectrum of colours and surfaces that cannot be reached by any synthetic material. And: Natural stones with the same or with similar appearance may have very different technical properties.
The use of natural stone in building and construction has got many advantages. Here you can find some of them:

In stone-processing enterprises such as Cuorta Bau GmbH the raw natural stone blocks are sawn by special saws into stone slabs of about two to four centimetres. Afterwards the sawn slabs are smoothed respectively polished.
After this working process the slabs are brought to the corresponding size concerning width and length by stone cutters. We are anytime open to regard any customer requests concerning processing of natural stone slabs.
