    SK Stones is fully equipped both technically and aesthetically. Here we understand what great responsibilities we get our selves into when we treat these charismatic children of nature. All technical facilities we have are up to date and in class of their own, but what we treasure most is not the technical excellence rather we are proud on what we have been able to produce through our creative minds and our dedicated team. These Stones are part of our lives, an essential one which gives its colors, its soul and its amazing attitude to lighten the dark areas of our surroundings. This is a treasure and it is treasured by SK Stones.

  • CarraraMarmotech : Carrara : Italy : May 31st - June 3rd

    CarraraMarmotec responds to the international market challenges by introducing important news: next edition of the Fair will see the opening of a new 10.000 sqm pavilion. This space enlargement will bring in a higher number of Exhibitors and allow a reduction of the participation fees, areal and tangible support to the companies.

    CarraraMarmotec 2006 does things in a big way and throws down the gauntlet: it will increase its indoor exhibition areas (50% more than last year) to attract higher numbers of exhibitors, at least 25% more, and will reduce its prices to support the companies which are hit hard by a difficult economic trend which is affecting Italian marble exports.


    Stone Middle East

    Stone Middle East 2006 is held at the prestigious Beirut International Exhibition & Leisure Center (BIEL). It matches needs to solutions. The show attracts trade buyers, architects, contractors, stone products manufacturers and processors, and specifiers from throughout Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.

  • 24th May 2006: Wellness In The Bathroom: Private wellness oasis: The bathroom has blossomed out: from functional bathroom unit to private wellness oasis, whose importance for users meanwhile ranks immediately after the living room as prestigious public area. This is already illustrated by the size of modern bathrooms. The size of an average bathroom in the 1970’s was just four square metres. In the meantime, bathrooms of ten square metres and even more are catching on...more
  • 24th May 2006: Stone For Well-being: A matter of the right surface and finish: When choosing the right material for wellness areas, the suitability of the individual natural stones is less important than expected in many cases. The decisive technical factor is the choice of the right surface and finish and the use of the right laying materials. Once the materials are laid to »suit the wellness need«, they must also be permanently and correctly cleaned and cared for. The reaction of the stone to contact with water and humidity is the most important decision criteria for the wellness area...more
  • 24th May 2006: Danger Of Slipping: Mechanical and chemical aids: Stumbling, slipping and falling have been at the top of the accident statistics for years and even exceed road traffic accidents. The cause is frequently insufficient anti-slip precautions for the flooring. Especially highly polished stone floors often do not meet the requirements, so that retrospective changes are necessary. Chemical posttreatment is one possibility of improving anti-slip properties. The anti-slip agent reacts with the minerals in the floor covering, releases these partly and roughens the stone...more
  • 19th May 2006: Stonetech Shanghai: This trade fair, which alternates between Beijing and Shanghai, is China’s number one natural stone exhibition: China occupies a top position in the world for both exports and imports of natural stone. China’s building industry needs stone, especially in view of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and for the Expo 2010 in Shanghai. The Chinese metropolis would like to show itself at its best by then. Natural stone from abroad is used everywhere: in many hotel lobbies, on tower block facades and in public amenities like Century Park. Light or intensively coloured natural stones are popular, especially red materials: The colour red is associated with luck in China. It also brings luck to the producers of red natural stones like the Finnish company Interrock, whose Karelia Red granite is highly popular...more
  • 19th May 2006: Marble Architectural Award 2006: Joint winners of the MMA first prize in the facade category: The German Historical Museum in Berlin has won first prize in the »Marble Architectural Award 2006« (MAA).
