As one of the hardest natural materials on earth, granite has always been favored in the field of architecture for its unique aesthetics and excellent physical properties. Granite has been progressively used in modern architecture with the advancement of science and technology and the rebirth of design ideas, displaying a range of creative applications.

1. The traditional and modern value of granite
Comprising quartz, feldspar and mica, granite is an igneous rock distinguished by great hardness, wear resistance, rich hues, and unusual texture. Granite has always been extensively employed in sculptures, tombstones, and building constructions. With the progress of technology and the quest of sustainable development in current times, granite’s use has transcended conventional boundaries and become a vital component in modern architectural design.
2. Innovation of flexible granite
One of the main innovations in granite application is the development of Yashi flexible granite. This product lowers material weight by combining high-strength inorganic resin panels with imitation stone finishes, therefore enhancing construction ease and safety. For old city repair and home interior design, the development of flexible granite offers a new building material with great beauty and environmental friendliness.
3. Environmental protection and energy-saving architectural trends
Granite’s poor heat conductivity and energy-saving properties under the low-carbon environmental protection trend have driven increasing usage of it in building external walls. This kind of granite satisfies the criteria of green buildings and sustainable development as well as helping lower the energy consumption of structures.
4. Intelligent production and intelligent mining
The development of 5G technology and intelligent production has brought revolutionary changes to the granite industry. Using intelligent blasting, automated mining, and safety monitoring systems not only increases production efficiency and product quality but also lessens environmental impact, thereby supporting the sustainable mining of granite technically.
5. Secondary use of construction waste
The treatment and reuse of waste stone has grown to be a major concern as the stone sector developed. Granite debris can be transformed into other building materials thanks to new technology, therefore lowering the environmental impact of trash and realizing resource recycling.
6. Diversification of residential interior decoration
Granite has evolved in use in home interior design from conventional load-bearing materials to varied decorative accents. Granite’s natural texture and color will accentuate wall, floor, or furniture, therefore creating a warm and sophisticated environment within.
7. Combination of prefabricated buildings
The special process of Yashi flexible granite makes it a perfect partner for prefabricated buildings. This material’s ultra-thin finishing layer and unique shaping technique transcend conventional methods’ constraints and open architectural design new opportunities.
8. Diversified design styles
Granite reflects the times and readily fits many architectural styles, including ARTDECO, French second-generation style, modern design, etc., fulfill the needs of residential facade quality improvements.
9. Green mine construction specifications
The granite sector is also aggressively adjusting to green mine building criteria as China’s environmental needs for mining are getting ever stricter. Through scientific and technological innovation and the introduction of new technologies, the overall competitiveness of enterprises will be improved and the healthy development of the granite industry will be promoted.
