City Parks

City parks across South Florida are using Coral Stone benches and flooring because of its beauty and non-slip characteristics. The reason as to why this is so important in the world of architecture and natural stone is because the features of Dominican coral stone, allow for more safety throughout the park.

For example, in tropical areas where rainfall is frequent, the stone naturally ensures a non-slippery surface to walk on. This ensures the safety of the consumers in the park. The beauty itself is recommended to be seen in person. The breathtaking patterns, and natural glow of the Coral stone is unique to every slab used. Some of the parks that are using natural Dominican coral stone are: Doral Veterans Park and Pompano Beach. Both of these locations are located in South Florida. The tropical weather and frequent rainfall, are some of the factors as to why the city have chosen our stone. In Pompano, these stones make perfect sense due to their location, which is along the coastline and on the sidewalks for pedestrians. The benches in Pompano are used to target pedestrians walking along the coast, meanwhile the benches produced for Doral Veterans Park are used for pedestrians walking with their children or friends. The fact that the benches can serve the same purpose in different scenery, shows the broad spectrum of the use of natural Dominican Coral Stone. It can be used in naturally sandy and moist areas, while also being useful in regular parks surrounded by vegetation. One of the features of the Dominican stone is its natural ability to defend itself against mildew and mold. This could be very useful in areas like Doral Veterans Park which is an area that is mostly green.

Filled & Honed Coral Stone Veneer

There are ample reasons as to why using benefits filled and honed coral stone. Apart from the fact that it is simply beautiful, because of the vertical installation it causes the percentage of water that is absorbed into the stone to drop significantly. Due to this, the stone is much easier to maintain.

 The natural, clean look of the stone remains intact because of the low water absorption. Furthermore, the stone itself prevents mildew along its face. Therefore, if you are someone who appreciates an elegant, clean look then this is an option to consider. When it comes to filled and honed, there are a wide variety of options. To explain, ‘filled and honed’ is a finish on the natural stone of choice. For example, the natural coral stone in gold color would then be processed and finished with the filled and honed. 

 The filled and honed process is simply clean, fill in the pores of the stone, sand, and polish. The polish portion is not to make the stone shiny, however, a detail of the natural stone itself. To conclude, the natural beauty of Dominican coral stone combined with the filled and honed finish is one to consider with other exterior wall veneer options on the market. The low water absorption feature, alongside reduced mildew are avoidable headaches that any homeowner keeps in mind.
