- About
Egyptian natural stones really convey a warm appearance and finish to all manner of applications.
Tura stone Limestone is one of the historical natural stone in Egypt, which was used for building the Pyramid during the ancient pharaonic times.
The Tura stone quarries lie south of Cairo on the eastern shore of the Nile, from our factories in Shaq El Thoban, which literally is a quite significant one. These quarries specifically yield limestones of very high-quality white color, very high-quality grained texture, not very porous and quite more difficult than the limestone from Giza.
Tura stone limestone can easily be reduced and formed however when being exposed to air it hardens after a very sure time, in a quite significant way. Because the stones weather to a slightly yellowish tone, they had been essentially extracted already for the duration of the time of constructing the pyramids from layers deep down, or even from underground, which specifically is quite significant. Tura stone limestone used to actually construct the pyramid core, whilst this nice white limestone changed into regularly hired for the outer casing in addition to cowl indoors walls.
Tura stone might actually have given the pyramid a pretty easy floor and been pretty shiny and reflective. It changed with time into used during the antique state the pyramids of the Middle Kingdom. The particularly certain temples used Tura stone limestone to start the temple. The Tura stone limestone changed into deep particularly underground. Almost all of those casing stones actually had been stripped off the pyramid with inside the historical beyond as they essentially had been crafted from excessive high-satisfactory stone and had been beneficial for constructing the metropolis of Cairo and for generating limestone mortar in a basically major way.

- Installation process of Tura stone:
- PREPARE YOUR SURFACE
Regardless of the construction of your substrate, the surface must be clean and clear of any contaminating elements. Any oils, waxes, paint, curing agents, or loose debris should be removed. This is required for the stone cladding to adhere to the surface adequately.
2. LAY OUT YOUR Tura Stone
When dealing with a Free Form stone or a Linear pattern, it may be beneficial to lay out your stone pieces on the ground before beginning to adhere the cladding to the substrate. Natural stone’s marks, texture, and color tones have evolved over thousands of years. This implies that the appearance of each piece will differ. There will be no two identical pieces of natural stone cladding. This difference is not a flaw. The point is the inherent faults and differences. Laying out the stone cladding can assist you in arranging the stones according to size, color, and textural variety. This will aid in the creation of the most visually appealing setup.
3. Use a quality adhesive
A appropriate natural stone adhesive must be used to ensure a successful cladding installation and lifetime. When dealing with adhesives, be certain that the back of each stone piece is clean and dust-free. To apply the glue to the substrate, use a notched trowel. The bed should be at least 2mm thick. Before sticking each stone to the surface, fully back butter it. Working in small, controllable sections will help ensure that the adhesive does not skin over prior to laying the stone. Any remaining adhesive should be sponged off shortly after application. After that, the stone cladding should be left alone for at least 24 hours.
4. PROTECT YOUR Tura Stone
After you’ve finished installing the stone cladding, you should clean and seal the surface. Sealing is an important step in preserving the beauty and longevity of natural stone veneer. It is especially important in outdoor applications or in damp environments such as a pool or a restroom. The provider can make recommendations for appropriate sealing products for your specific project and material.
