Flaming of granite stone
Flame is an English word that means to set fire. This is one of several
methods of polishing on stone and also one of the best methods of creating
texture.
This method is used to remove the uneven surfaces on the Morvarid granite of
Mashhad and to create a beautiful facade and surface of the stone, which is
mostly done on granite stones due to the fact that granite stone has different
degrees of expansion.
Of course, other stones that have high resistance to heat, such as marble, use
this method to create texture on their surfaces.
The use of laminated granite stone
One of the uses of flaked stone is to use it as a stepping stone, as well as to
prevent slipping and use it in the open space.
Although in the past, granite stones were less used in outdoor environments
due to the fact that when exposed to moisture and water, it caused a lot of
slippery and dangerous, but nowadays, by using the flaming method, the
slippery surface of the stone is removed. It is reduced and used in the
environment and outer space.
The result of flaming Mashhad Morvarid granite is to create a stone with a
textured and rough surface, and because the surface of the stone is textured
and rough, its surface becomes more frictional, and for this reason, in the
outdoor environment, such as street pavements, they use it.

- Manual proccess
- Automatic machine
The choice of these methods depends on the opinion of the employer and the
experience of the expert.
