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

Natural stones are the perfect material for this, as they meet aesthetic requirements while also meeting the regulations.

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.
