When we think about designing our living spaces, practicality, beauty, elegance and comfort are often in the foreground. But what about security?

While most families with children cannot ignore this factor, in households without children or animals it sometimes remains “under the radar”.

Today we would like to explain why marble tables and natural stone tables are not only an aesthetic asset, but also meet the highest safety standards. Natural stone tables, especially tables made of marble , have been a symbol of timeless elegance and sophistication for centuries. The natural patterns and shades of natural stones add a touch of luxury to any room and create a connection to nature.

But beauty alone is not enough to make interior design decisions these days. What really makes natural stone tables stand out is their remarkable safety, sustainability and longevity. And today we'll take a closer look at the aspect of safety.

Fire Protection & Natural Stones 

We've all heard the word "fire protection" before, but what does it actually mean?

Fire safety refers to measures and precautions taken to prevent, detect and fight fires in order to protect human life, minimize damage to property and protect the environment.

In the context of interior design, fire protection includes various aspects that are crucial for the safety of people and buildings. Companies or office buildings in particular are familiar with the topic of fire protection, as there are regulations that must be met. Many of our customers, who have restaurants, beauty salons or doctor's offices, for example, have tables and accessories made from our natural stones due to their advantages in terms of fire protection and certain regulations that they must meet. Natural stones are the perfect material for this, as they meet aesthetic requirements while also meeting the regulations. 

And to what extent are natural stones good for fire protection? 

Natural stones – A popular material for fire protection

The answer to this is quite simple: natural stones do not burn and are therefore ideal for fire protection measures. In contrast to many other materials such as wood, plastics and glass, fire cannot harm natural stone. marble and others Natural stones are generally non-flammable because they consist of mineral components and do not contain any organic materials that could catch fire when heated.

The incombustibility of natural stone is probably the most important aspect for fire protection.

Marble, quartzite and onyx stones are extremely heat resistant because they have a high heat storage capacity and excellent thermal conductivity. When exposed to heat, they absorb the heat and release it slowly without catching fire themselves. This helps prevent the spread of fires.

Natural stone tables and tiles also maintain their structural integrity at high temperatures. They do not melt or lose strength, meaning they are not damaged by heat and cannot contribute to fire.

This means they can provide additional protection in your home or business premises, which can be invaluable in the event of a fire.

Anyone who has ever seen a house burn knows that the interior plays a big role in how quickly a fire can spread and how devastating the extent of the fire is. Unlike other materials such as wood or plastics, natural stones also do not contain any volatile organic compounds that, when heated, could give off fumes or gases that are flammable or cause explosions.

So when it comes to minimizing the risk of fire in your living spaces, natural stone tables are the perfect choice. In some cases, using natural stones in the construction of a home or building can even help prevent or slow the spread of fires, as natural stones can serve as a fire barrier.

Why natural stones can increase safety in the home

Aside from fire safety, another benefit of natural stone tables that contributes to your safety is their durability. Unlike materials such as wood or plastic, which wear out over time, natural stone tables retain their beauty and functionality for many years. They are scratch-resistant, sturdy and require little maintenance to maintain these features.
