In the current home decoration project, stone is gradually popularized. In the home decoration stone, it is widely used in the local design of the interior, such as: the floating window table, the door stone, the wave line, the ground stone, the decorative wall, the stair step table, the bathroom table, the cabinet table, etc. However, it should also be noted that each part of the room should use what kind of stone, how to select stone, how to calculate the amount when purchasing, and what precautions should be taken during installation. These issues may not be clear to every owner.
1、 Prohibited in some stone rooms
In China, stone materials are divided into three categories: A, B and C according to radioactivity level. According to regulations, only category A can be used for indoor decoration, while category B and C are mostly used for outdoor decoration. Natural stones mainly include marble and granite. The radioactivity of marble is generally lower than that of granite, and most of them can be used for interior decoration. Granite should not be used in large quantities indoors, especially in bedrooms, old people's rooms and children's rooms. As for artificial stone, it varies depending on the ingredients added during its manufacture. If you want to get a real pure natural feeling, Longmeida Stone suggests that you choose natural stone products to better experience and taste its cultural charm.
When selecting stone materials for interior decoration, attention should be paid to the different texture of stone materials in different parts. The selection should be based on hardness, color, wear resistance and other factors. Cabinet countertops, doorstones, corrugated lines and stair steps are mainly made of stones with relatively strong rock hardness, which are dark and easy to handle, have small color difference, and have a sense of hierarchy, and will not produce a sense of levity; The stone with relatively weak rock hardness, various colors and beautiful textures can be selected for the floating window table top, decorative wall, ground stone and bathroom table top, such as the light color for the floating window and the ground, which can give a warm and quiet feeling and also visually "expand" the area. It is better not to choose dark stone for large area paving on the ground, which will make people feel "dim". If the decorative wall can choose beige or white stone, it is atmospheric and simple. In addition, considering the strength of decoration and the bearing capacity of the house, the thin stone should be selected as far as possible.
2、 Conduct test before selecting materials
The quality of stone depends on the quality of raw materials and processing technology. Under normal circumstances, good stone should have such characteristics: smooth surface, no roughness when touching with hands; The front side is bright, and the reflective effect is consistent when viewed against the light, without flickering; The trimming is flat, and the trimming presents a straight line when viewed from the side, without serrated convex and concave points; The color is uniform, and there is no color difference on the surface of each stone; The texture is clear, and the texture of the same type of stone is consistent without obvious difference.
The high-quality stone surface does not contain too many mottled colors, the color distribution is uniform, and there is no obvious light dark transition. The poor quality stone will have many irreparable "defects" after processing. Therefore, the pattern tone on the surface is an important indicator to evaluate the quality of the stone. If the processing technology and process are not up to standard, the finished products after processing will appear warping, depression, color spots, stains, missing edges and corners, cracks, color lines, pits and other phenomena. Such stones are "defective".
3、 Loss to be calculated for measurement
The prices of stone materials sold in the market vary greatly, ranging from tens of yuan/square meter for low prices to thousands of yuan/square meter for high prices. In the stone industry, most products are sold by area, and some products are sold at the price of each piece or meter. No matter where stone is selected in the room, it is calculated by area. If it is a regular rectangle, it is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. The irregular shape is calculated by multiplying the length of the longest part in the longitudinal direction by the length of the longest part in the transverse direction. The excess part belongs to normal loss. In addition, the stone that needs edge grinding treatment also needs to increase the loss of 1-2 cm, and the double edge grinding generally needs to increase the loss of 3 cm or more. This is a normal rule in the stone industry, which needs consumers' attention.
The above are some basic knowledge when purchasing stone for home decoration. As long as the owner has a basic understanding in advance, he can have a general understanding of stone. I believe that it will be easier and more satisfying in the construction process of home decoration.
After the selection and purchase of stones, the next step is to wait for the construction and installation, which is a post processing matter. Longmeida Stone Group suggested that the installation should be handed over to professionals for operation. Of course, ordinary stone enterprises and sellers will have corresponding after-sales services, which can be assured. After the construction and installation of stone for home decoration, the owner should pay attention to the maintenance of stone during daily occupancy, so he should also know some basic stone knowledge. The owner is suggested to consult the seller or contact Longmeida Stone Group, which is willing to answer your stone questions.
