Magic Wall at Farringdon
In message
, at 04:36:41 on Sun, 26 Feb 2012, lonelytraveller remarked: The stone panels are mostly produced in Italy and Norway. *Large stone blocks are very carefully quarried so they come out square. *Then the blocks - usually either granite or marble - are precision sawn using large diameter diamond-tipped circular saws. *The thickness is typically a couple of centimetres, but the finished job often looks as though it is made of solid granite or marble that is tens of centimetres thick. So its is actual stone, just very thin? Not much different to floor tiles (applied to the wall). -- Roland Perry |
