Abstract This study examined the usability of thin plates cut from rocks of volcanic origin as new decorative indoor and outdoor coating material when used instead of ceramic saddle. The study examined the basic material characterization of andesites and the glazability of andesites with glaze coating materials containing boron minerals. The series of characterization tests were conducted on andesite samples. Then, the samples were applied glaze for trial purposes. Analysis indicated that the andesite samples consisted of sanidine, mica and pyroxene minerals and its apparent porosity, density, water absorption, salt crystallization resistance, compressive strength, frost after compressive strength, bending strength and impact resistance values were 15.75 %, 2,640 kg/m3, 7.41 %, 1.06 %, 47.03 MPa, 45.25 MPa, 10.16 MPa and 9.87 kPa respectively.

measurements, maximum sintering was recorded at 1,182 °C. Linear expansion coefficient (a) of the andesite at 400 °C was 4.69 9 10-6 K-1. Firing performed by using the prepared glaze recipe at approximately 1,055 and 1,000 °C produced good results in terms of body-glaze harmony.

1 Introduction Due to factors such as the unrestricted use of smooth and high-quality types of marble and the depletion of natural stone reserves; novel, natural, alternative raw materials are sought for use in both interior and exterior spaces. This increases the need to use natural stone ceramics for artistic and decorative products used in interior and exterior spaces. Such studies are carried out with the aim of determining consumers’ tastes for new products and widening the spectrum of the use of natural stone products. Recent studies have examined the glazing of particularly the volcanic rocks to be used in the natural stone sector [1, 2]. The application of this technique to natural stones aimed to obtain a higher value-added product, and the basic material characterization of this product will be examined. Andesites are classified into the volcanic rocks group, which constitutes a sub-group of magmatic rocks [3, 4]. Andesite has been used in Turkey and
