No wonder its popularity just keeps increasing.
The natural stone market in the UK is more
than five-and-half times the size it was when
the first Natural Stone Show was held in 1995.
And as sustainability becomes more of a
concern, stone's message has only improved.
The processes
One of the reasons stone, both natural and
engineered, continues to become ever more
popular is that it is more feasible now to use
it in innovative and exciting ways. That has
happened because the machinery, tools and
consumables used by the stone industry have
become ever more sophisticated, thanks to the
digital revolution.
Once stone saws cut in straight lines
and stonemasons shaped the masonry.

The hard surfaces The stone processing industry has increased the developments and talk about future its pallet of products on offer by encompassing possibilities – because there is every indication a new generation of quartz, ceramic and that there is a lot more still to come from sintered stone materials, which have at least this product area. Indeed, 136 of the latest doubled the size of the market for interiors for innovations will be shown in a feature the stone industry and continue to take market called Innovation meets design curated by share, particularly from plastic laminated wood- MaterialDistrict, one of the leading match- based products. making platforms for innovative materials. Although engineered quartz is now well- established for kitchen worktops, there is a whole host of new ceramic and sintered products that have only become available because of the level of sophistication of computer-controlled machinery and diamond tooling already used by the stone processing industry. The range of products has grown to the point where the organisers of the Natural Stone Show believed the sector merited its own separate showcase and so launched the Hard Surfaces exhibition to highlight these products. There will also be a seminar programme dedicated to them to help unravel some of incredible pace, controlled by computers, to a high degree of accuracy, making even complex shapes not only achievable but affordable. As the industry has grown and more machines are used, so the price of the diamond tooling the machines use has also fallen. It is not only the purchase price that is lower, but the tools last longer and produce better finishes, producing compound economies. Then there are all the developments of new materials and processes for fixing, installing and laying stone, sealing its surface, cleaning and maintaining it, making it easier to use for the processor, installer and end user. The latest developments in the machines, tools and consumables will be on display at the Natural Stone Show alongside the stone to complete the stone industry story.
