Description

Shayan Dehbid Marble is one of the most distinguished types of Iranian marble, known for its high quality, luxurious appearance, and unique physical characteristics, making it highly sought after in interior construction projects. Below is a comprehensive overview of its features, applications, advantages, disadvantages, and technical parameters.

 

 

 

Definition:

Shayan Dehbid Marble is a variety of Dehbid stones, quarried from the Dehbid region in Fars Province (particularly around Safashahr). Thanks to its warm light cream color, uniform surface, and distinctive natural patterns, it has gained fame in both domestic and export markets.

Appearance Features:

Color and Pattern:
The main color of this stone is light cream, often accompanied by reddish-brown veins and patterns resembling frosted flowers. These characteristics give a chic, warm, and cohesive look to interior spaces.

Surface and Finish:
Shayan Dehbid Marble is typically processed with a polished, glossy finish. Advanced finishing techniques, including honed processing and the use of resin or epoxy on the back of the stone, enhance its strength and provide a mirror-like appearance.

Physical Properties & Technical Parameters:

Low Water Absorption:
Due to its compact structure and low porosity, this marble has a very low water absorption rate, making it suitable for humid environments.

High Abrasion and Compressive Resistance:
It boasts significant resistance to wear, scratches, and pressure — making it an ideal choice for high-traffic flooring areas such as hotels, offices, and luxury residences.

Specific Gravity and Porosity:
Shayan Dehbid Marble has a high specific gravity (around 2,760 kg/m³), and thanks to its low porosity, it is structurally strong and highly durable.

Applications:

Interior Flooring:
Ideal for halls, corridors, hotels, offices, and other busy indoor areas.

Wall Cladding and Interior Facades:
With its uniform color and glossy surface, it lends a modern and elegant look to interior walls and building facades.

 

 

Advantages:

• High Quality and Durability:
  Exceptional compressive and abrasion resistance, long lifespan, and easy maintenance.
• Low Water Absorption:
  Makes it a suitable option for use in humid spaces and for flooring applications.
• Luxurious, Uniform Appearance:
  The warm light cream color with unique natural patterns gives any space a beautiful, warm atmosphere.
• Affordable Price:
  Despite its high quality, local sourcing and reduced intermediary costs make it more economical than imported stones.

Disadvantages:

• Limited for Exterior Use:
  Exposure to direct sunlight and changing weather conditions can affect its shine and appearance, so it’s generally not recommended for outdoor facades.
• Relatively Higher Cost:
  Due to its premium quality and precise processing, its price is slightly higher than some other domestic stones, although still competitive compared to imported options.

Technical Analysis of Shayan Dehbid Marble:

Feature	Specific Gravity	Compressive Strength	Abrasion Resistance	Porosity	Water Absorption
Max	2.8 g/cm³	120 MPa	6	0.9%	1.5%
Min	1.8 g/cm³	115 MPa	2.2	0.6%	0.03%

Conclusion:

Shayan Dehbid Marble is a combination of stunning appearance, high physical strength, and long-lasting durability, making it an ideal choice for interior spaces. Although it has limitations for outdoor use, its advantages — including low water absorption, excellent abrasion resistance, and structural integrity — along with its relatively competitive price, have made it a popular choice in luxury construction projects.
