Imitation stone purchase knowledge Baobian laymen become experts

For some home buyers who have just released their rigid demand, house prices can be temporarily left behind, and they do not have to deal with it. Now, they are eager to study the market of stone and tile that is of little concern on weekdays, and use expert knowledge to arm their minds. To solve the "face" problem of rough houses! After all, for most families, everything from buying a house to decorating materials is related to a lifetime event. As the saying goes, “Knife doesn't cut the firewood by mistake.” It is still necessary to do the pre-decoration work. Many people prefer to choose their own hands. Materials, but also do not want to become the "water fish". So, what kinds of stone and imitation stone products on the market should be distinguished? This article will take you from a lay person to an expert and insight into the most cutting-edge stone and imitation stone products in 2011:

First, the natural stone wins in the decoration effect Natural stone derives many kinds according to the factor which its produces, the most common classification is the stone divides into four big classes of the sandstone, the slate, the marble and the granite. The stone in the general home interior is mostly based on marble. In addition to being cheaper than granite, the organization is detailed, polished, and has a wide variety of features. There are more patterns, color choices, space, etc. The characteristics are consumers and interior design. The important factors loved by the teachers. Granite has high hardness and acid and alkali resistance, so most of them are laid outdoors or in frequent public spaces.

The mainstream style of natural marble on the market includes brown net, Turkish rose, tequila, violet, beige, magnificent gold, travertine, etc. There are many varieties. Natural stone is precious, natural, not philosophic, but not imitated. True and false doubts, with the truest, purest, most perfect texture, with a unique artistic texture throughout ancient and modern, witness the value of human history and culture, reflect the user's taste and status, which is why the star hotel will generally use natural Stone, stone texture is very diverse, a pearl luster, diamond luster, glass luster, waxy luster, suet jade luster, gemstone luster, silk luster, pastel luster. . . It constantly enriches the color of the architectural image.

Second, alertness can not see the stone radiation hazards intangible stones in the formation of the magnificent house at the same time, there are also radiation hazards. As a natural material, when the stone is formed, the radionuclide*, radium, thorium and potassium are one of their components. The content of these components determines the radiation level of the stone. The distribution of rock radionuclides in the nature is not too Uniform. The higher the radionuclides, the greater the exposure of the body to additional radiation and the increased risk of cancer. Natural marble has radiation, generally the deeper the color the greater the radiation, but it cannot be said that he must have There is a lot of radioactive pollution.The radiation hazards in natural stone are mainly in two aspects, namely radiation in the body and radiation in vitro.The radiation in the body mainly comes from the decay of radioactive radiation in the air, resulting in a radioactive material and its daughter. Radon is the only natural radioactive gas in the natural world, and it will soon decay into a nuclide that the human body can absorb while entering the human's respiratory system, causing radiation damage and inducing lung cancer.External radiation mainly refers to the radiation in natural stone. A biological effect produced after the body directly irradiates the human body to the hematopoietic organs, nervous system and reproductive system in the human body Digestive system damage.

When purchasing stones in the stone market, you must ask the distributor for the product's radioactive certificate. You can choose to have a national environmental certification that can be used for indoor use, that is, A-type stone, with a germanium concentration of less than 70 b/m3. In the past, people often used marble to tile floors, so the radiation requirements were high. Now it is generally done as countertops or passstones. In general, radiation is not harmful to the human body. If your paved area is too large, you can usually ensure that the interior is well ventilated.

Third, man-made stone and imitation stone how to buy artificial stone industry from birth to now passed nearly half a century, artificial stone and imitation stone products are similar in concept, there is no clear distinction, the country has not introduced the corresponding standard To regulate the development of the industry, the classification of such products' processes and technologies is more complicated. Because the concept of "man-made" and "imitation" is more common, it will cause some ordinary consumers to have some ambiguity, thinking that artificial or imitation is not naturally good. In fact, man-made stone technology has been developed to the present day and it is already very mature. Some high-end imitation stone products have even surpassed natural stone in terms of performance or decorative effect. For example, in the country's largest ceramic producing area, Foshan, there have been advanced upgrades for manufacturers. The ceramic tile production experience has shifted to R & D, production and marketing of imitation stone products, and the introduction of "Zhuoyuan Health Stone" type imitation stone that has eliminated radioactivity, permeability and texture, has surpassed traditional ceramic tiles and is comparable to natural stone, and has achieved great results. Success.

In general, compared with natural stone, man-made stone and imitation stone have bright colors, high gloss, uniform color, pressure resistance, wear resistance, toughness, compact structure, strong and durable, low water absorption, erosion resistance, weather, color difference Small, no fading, low radioactivity, high cost performance. As a decorative material with good texture and many colors, it can not only beautify indoor and outdoor decoration, meet the diversified needs of its design, but also provide architects and designers with an extremely wide range of design space to create space and express a natural feeling. . Man-made stone and imitation stone also have the advantage of comprehensive utilization of resources. It has an invaluable role in environmental protection and energy conservation. It is also a veritable green building product and has become a widely popular material in modern architecture.

However, man-made stone and imitation stone products are not the same as the standard products, so the performance and quality of man-made stone production equipment provided on the market are also very different. Some inferior quality and poor stone-like effect have impacted the image of the industry. Consumers When purchasing this type of product, you should keep your eyes open and choose from the following aspects:

Brand: If it is used in large quantities, it is advisable to first understand the strength and scale of the manufacture of imitation stone manufacturers, what kind of production lines and manufacturing equipment, and what industry qualifications and honors have been obtained before the purchase. Is it the original production, etc.;

Technology: To find out what kind of craftsmanship the manufacturer used to do the imitation stone, because the imitation stone technology is too much, it seems to be difficult to understand the technology, but as consumers, we can still pass two main indicators To identify a stone thickness: thickness determines the real sense of the stone, three-dimensional and permeability, but also determines the degree of simulation, which is the most critical, and some imitation stone surface only a thin layer of paper, Looks like stone, carefully comparing the texture you will find, fake stone effect is false, why? Because it is not thick enough, it can not exhibit the natural three-dimensional sense of natural stone and permeability, such products will not dare to do the surface deep groove, inverted edge and other artistic deep processing, because once the processing will destroy the stone effect, exposed The "false" identity; and there is a class of completely transparent vitreous material on the surface of the imitation stone, thickness and transparency effects are possessed, but the natural texture effect of the stone is destroyed. To achieve this, we can compare it more. Such imitation stone like Zhuo Yuan Health Stone can develop this kind of eyesight.

2 molding process and process technology: Most of the imitation stone products use resin binder and powder molding, such imitation stone is relatively poor in high temperature resistance, wear resistance and hardness, it is recommended to choose through special raw materials, large tonnage pressure Machine-pressed green body, fully-automatic furnace with high temperature above 1250 degrees Celsius, special-purpose polishing equipment, imitation stone, this product can withstand the years in terms of trueness, density, water absorption, permeability and gloss. The test.
