About This Product
Oya stone is a non-slip material, so you can use it safely as paving stones. We can handle anything from tiles that are thin enough for a person to walk through to thick Oya stone for parking lots where cars pass through. We will suggest the thickness depending on the place of use, the substrate, and the purpose. We also have outlet products suitable for paving stones and inexpensive Oya stones that can be used for DIY projects.
■Features of Oya stone
A specialty stone from Tochigi Prefecture that is unique in its warm and soft texture.
Oya stone is a type of pumice tuff that is mined around Utsunomiya Otani-cho, Tochigi Prefecture, and is a specialty of Utsunomiya City. Oya stone has a long history and has been used by people since the Jomon period. Because it is soft and easy to work with, it is used in a wide variety of construction materials such as foundation stones, retaining walls, earth retaining walls, stone walls, paving stones, tiles, and blocks. Compared to other stones, it has a beautiful texture that gives a sense of warmth, and is sometimes used in high-end buildings.
Recently, the texture of Oya stone has a highly relaxing effect, so it has been attracting attention as a healthy building material that produces healing effects. Oya stone tiles can be used as construction materials for cafes, restaurants, commercial facilities, etc. Oya stone coasters are very popular at tourist spots in Otani, and are also used as souvenirs and commemorative items with names engraved on them.
■Features of Shin-Oya Stone
Oya stone style block retains the beautiful texture of fine Oya stone, has excellent water resistance and durability, and is inexpensive. New Oya stone is made possible by craftsmen who have inherited traditional Oya stone processing techniques and the abundant Oya stone that is unique to Oya, the village of stones. Because Bishan and other materials are hand-processed by craftsmen, they have a beauty and taste that cannot be imitated by other fence materials.
Shin-Oya stone is an Oya stone concrete block manufactured using natural Oya stone as aggregate. It retains the natural feel and texture of Oya stone, has excellent water resistance and durability, and is inexpensive. The surface of Shin-Oya stone has a beautiful texture comparable to that of fine Oya stone, which has the smallest grains, and it does not suffer from weathering or discoloration as seen in Oya stone. It is ideal for Oya stone block walls because it is compatible with mortar, supports reinforcing steel, and has excellent earthquake resistance.
Furthermore, since it is processed using the same tools and machines as Oya stone, it can be manufactured in the same appearance, dimensions, and stacking manner as Oya stone walls. It is several times stronger than Oya stone, and its small diameter allows it to be used as paving stone.
