Rock salt building materials

Salt building materials for home, office, wellness and commercial use

Mountain salt (also known as rock salt or halite) is the new building material for interiors because it is natural, translucent and beautiful. Red mountain salt is known from salt lamps and salt tea lights and is also favoured in the construction of salt walls due to its beauty.

This red salt is used as quarry stone in various sizes and as salt bricks or salt tiles in salt caves and salt saunas to clad and backlight the walls. However, a salt wall can also be installed in an office, living room or bedroom. Glueless salt wall systems are particularly suitable for this, as they can be easily dismantled if necessary, unlike a bricked or glued salt wall. To set up our modular salt wall system, all you need is the ability to hang a kitchen cabinet. It can also be extended upwards or sideways as required. A brick salt wall made of quarry stone or salt bricks, on the other hand, requires a higher level of manual skill: the bricks have to be cut and bricked up layer by layer.

In salt caves, the floor is covered with coarse-grained salt litter and the entrance area and access to the loungers are often laid with salt bricks, which are often backlit. Of course, these salt bricks can also be used to build all kinds of shapes, such as columns, projections or platforms.

Red salt is particularly suitable for backlighting in white or red tones, whereas white salt is often used when all colours are used for backlighting, for example with colour changers. There are special white salt bricks and tiles for this purpose.

Salt tiles are also used for grilling. Such a salt grill tile is heated slowly and transfers this heat together with a little salt to the meat or onions. Because the grill tile retains the heat for a long time, grill ingredients in particular can be kept warm on it.

The mountain salt from Pramodan & Dinesh comes from the so-called Salt Range (Kohistan-i-Namak) in what is now Pakistan. Because it is found there in large quantities and is easily accessible, the ancient Indians mined it thousands of years ago. In the writings of Ayurveda, mountain salt is praised as the best of all salts.
