1)High weight and low adhesion
Due to the high weight of granites, using it on the facade will impose a dead load on the building, and you should know that if you want to use mortar for the adhesion of this type of stone, it will be time-consuming.
2) Not insulating for sound and heat
Another disadvantage of granite stones is that these stones are not heat and sound insulation, and as a result, it leads to energy wastage in buildings.

Granite contains iron and more iron is found in some varieties of this stone. This iron gradually rusts and loses its beauty when exposed to moisture. Therefore, it is better not to use it outdoors and in humid environments.
