Just the ax and saw were enough to get equal pieces of stone.<\/p>\n<p>Tuff also has the ability to breathe. The pores on the stones allow the temperature inside the building to remain above 0 degrees in winter and avoid outside heat in summer. Thus, tuff buildings are provided with natural ventilation.<\/p>\n<p>People used to think that tuff is not a very strong stone. So, to strengthen the tuff buildings, they were covered with oil and painted in the color of Vordan Karmir (Armenian red paint).
