Iron stone comes from volcanic origin, some call it pericó stone or rust stone. It is formed from metamorphic rocks that have textures that resemble rusty iron, which is why it brings so much beauty to environments. It is a rock of Brazilian origin and is very resistant, due to the entire oxidation process it goes through, which is why this stone has colors ranging from brown, rust to black. In this model, the pieces have fillets with a height of 5 cm and widths of varying sizes. With thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 centimeters, this variation when installed on walls gives the impression of a 3D coating, with high and low relief.
Iron stone comes from volcanic origin, some call it pericó stone or rust stone.
It is formed from metamorphic rocks that have textures that resemble rusty iron, which is why it brings so much beauty to environments.
It is a rock of Brazilian origin and is very resistant, due to the entire oxidation process it goes through, which is why this stone has colors ranging from brown, rust to black.
In this model, the pieces have small fillets with a height of 5 centimeters and widths of varying sizes. With thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 centimeters, this variation when installed on walls gives the impression of a 3D coating, with high and low relief.
The placement of the high and low relief will depend on two things: thickness and mortar. When laying, your stone setter will separate the “thinner” stones from the “thicker” stones.
Depending on the model purchased, he will place a thinner stone next to a thicker one, and so on. Do not use stones of the same thickness side by side. This will make the 3D effect much more evident, making the placement much more beautiful.
When installing your iron stone, it is important to use all the stones that arrive at your work. Do not select colors and sizes! This will cause a large loss of stone, causing much greater breakage.
Obs.: If you want to select the stones together with your mason, it is important to add a much larger break than already recommended, above your yardage.
Recommended break: 10% above the total footage.
The iron stone has a high durability compared to other stones.

This is why it is often placed on walls with leaks. Its maintenance is also super easy, as it is a dark stone, dirt practically does not appear.

Iron stone maintenance is very easy.
For external areas we always recommend the use of a waterproofing agent. But be careful!
The waterproofing agent recommended for iron stone is oil-based. We do not recommend the use of resin, as it creates a film on the stone and does not penetrate, thus peeling over time and turning white, the maintenance will be much higher.
For waterproofing you can use Oleofugante or Pedra Viva Black.
O oleofugante It will protect your stone, enhance the color but without giving it shine.
Me and Black Living Stone, protects your stone, enhances a darker color, gives it shine as if it were wet.
