With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards and the continuous enhancement of housing purchasing power, it has become a new fashion for people to pursue high-end decoration materials when decorating houses.
Among many materials, the use of stone is relatively common, so today I will share some stone knowledge with you.
Q: How are stones classified?
A: The American Society for Testing and Materials divides natural stones into Granite, Marble, Limestone, Quartz-based, Slate and other six stones..
Q: What are the characters of Granite?
A: The texture is hard, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, good in strength, not easy to break, generally uniform in color and pattern, difficult to bond, difficult to process, and good in brightness.
Q: Is granite suitable for outdoor use?
A: When used for outdoor building decoration, it needs to withstand long-term wind, rain and sun. Granite is suitable for selection because it does not contain carbonate, has low water absorption, and has strong resistance to weathering and acid rain.
Q: What minerals is marble mainly composed of?
A: Marble is a metamorphic rock of carbonate rock composed primarily of calcite, limestone, serpentine, and dolomite. Its composition is mainly calcium carbonate, accounting for more than 50%, and its chemical composition is mainly calcium carbonate, accounting for about 50%. There are also magnesium carbonate, calcium oxide, manganese oxide and silicon dioxide, etc,.
Q: What are the characteristics of marble and granite?
A: Marble-Reticulated chips,, strong water absorption, easy to process, complex patterns. Granite-Granular chips, hardness, good strength, not easy to break, weak water absorption, difficult to process, durable light and color, regular patterns (except for individual stones)
Q: What is artificial stone?
A: Artificial stone is made of non-natural mixtures, such as resin, cement, glass beads, aluminum stone powder, etc,. It is generally made by mixing unsaturated polyester resin with fillers and pigments, adding an initiator, and going through certain processing procedures.
Q: What is the difference between artificial quartz and quartzite?
A: The main component of artificial quartz content is as high as 93%, it is called artificial quartz. Quartzite is a natural mineral sedimentary rock, a metamorphic rock formed by regional metamorphism or thermal metamorphism of quartz sandstone or siliceous rock. In short, artificial quartz is not natural stone, and quartzite is natural mineral stone.
Q: What are the advantages of stone over ceramics?
A: First, It is mainly reflected in its natural nature, low-carbon and environmental protection; Just mining from quarry, and there is no need for burning and other processes to cause pollution. Second, Stone is hard, second only to steel in hardness. Third, natural stone has unique patterns, natural changes, and no traces of artificial modification. With the improvement of people’s living standards, stone has gradually entered the house decoration market.
Q: How many surface finishing are there for stone?
A: Generally, there are Polishing, Honed finishing, Leather finishing, Bush hammered, Flamed, Pickling, Mushroom,Natural surface, Antiqued, Sandblasted, etc,.
Q: What is the purpose of maintenance after decorative stone?
A: The purpose of maintenance is to make the stone more durable and maintain its brightness. Maintenance can play an anti-slip effect, harden the stone surface, and make the stone more wear-resistant
Q: What are the standard products of stone mosaic?
A: Stone mosaic standard products are divided into some types: mold mosaic, small chips mosaic, 3D mosaic, fracture surface mosaic, mosaic carpet, etc,.
