What is special about rock slabs and its application in large-sized indoors:
The production process of slate and ceramic tiles is similar, the production equipment is different, and the raw materials are different. For ordinary consumers. It can be understood that rock slabs have stricter requirements for production equipment, but the raw materials are not necessarily more expensive than ceramic tiles. (There are both expensive and cheap raw material suppliers), but the national standard does not yet have a strict standard definition of slate products. It still comes down to the large ceramic system. And because of the improvement of the ceramic tile production line in recent years. Larger tiles have also begun to be used in large numbers, and they are often confused from the perspective of business promotion. The early feature of rock slabs is that they can be larger in size than ceramic tiles, and can also ensure better product stability. This is very important. Those who have experience in engineering construction should have seen that large areas of ceramic tiles are attached to the wall. Deformation and bending occurs on the upper surface, and rock slab products can avoid such a situation. Therefore, the early applications of rock slabs are at most commercial interior and exterior finishes and floor decorations. As for antibacterial performance and wear resistance, rock slabs and ceramic tiles are similar, and the water absorption rate of rock slabs is lower than that of ceramic tiles. The most basic use of rock slabs for large units is for background walls, bathroom walls, kitchen countertops, grounds, etc. In addition to the modern minimalist decoration style in recent years, rock slabs are irreplaceable to a certain extent. Decoration materials.
Finally, provide some reference opinions on the purchase of slate furniture products:
1: The thickness of the rock slab used as a dining table is generally 12mm. There are some 9mm, 10mm or 13mm, there is no doubt that it is a large ceramic tile, the raw materials are different, and the product characteristics are different. The price is also different. There are many 3mm or 6mm rock slabs with tempered glass on the market (most of these are imported products, domestic rock slabs are cheaper, and there is no need to add glass backing). This specification of rock slabs can be used as decorative panels. The reason is nothing more than cost (not derogatory, market needs).
2: The standard thickness of the real big slab cutting table is 12mm. The domestic price is almost impossible to be lower than 3K, and the price of imported products is almost impossible to be lower than 5K. It is not necessary for ordinary consumers to risk the conscience of the merchants. If you want to buy rock slabs instead of tiles, please ignore those below this price standard.
3: Thousand-yuan and two-thousand-yuan products are specialized household small board production lines. The difference is the small factory or the big factory. Among them, the phenomenon of bad money driving out good money is extremely serious. The products of large factories are far better than those of small factories in terms of raw materials, inks, and quality stability. But these are situations that cannot be sensed for a short time. If you buy products in this price range, try to choose small-board products like Xinmingzhu, Mona Lisa and other well-known companies if the budget is sufficient.
4: Glazed surfaces and rock slabs are not as good as matte surfaces in terms of wear resistance. Although the Mohs hardness is higher than that of metal, it is still prone to scratches after long-term use. If it is used as a countertop, it is recommended to choose a matte surface.
5: Domestic rock slabs (real rock slabs) have been made very mature in marble series products. Compared with imported products, they are very different and small, followed by luxury stone series, volcanic rock series, and wood grain series. , The solid color series are currently relatively stretched. No one brand can do all the designs. When we buy high-end rock slabs, it is more important to look at the product itself rather than the brand. This year, many companies have launched natural surface (texture surface) products, 3mm ultra-thin rock slabs can also be bent to seize the flexible stone market.
6: Few furniture factories who understand ceramics are professional, and even more do not understand furniture sales. You think that the market is all selling rock slabs, but in fact, most of the tiles have changed their names.
7: The shelf of the dining table is as important as the countertop. If an iron frame is used, even the top-level countertop effect, the overall hardware and wood will not be high-end, and it will not be cheaper than the countertop.
8: Household ceramic bowls and ceramic knives are harder than rock slabs. Don't use ceramic knives to cut vegetables directly on the rock slabs. Metal knives are fine, just useless.
9: It is possible to dye the slate with penetrating atomic stamping oil. Once dyed, it is irreversible and cannot be wiped off.
10: The water absorption rate of the rock slab itself is extremely low, and it is difficult for the countertop to breed bacteria, so don't use 84 to wash it.
11: The rock board used for wall paving can choose 3mm, 5mm, 6mm and other specifications, but the thin board needs to be backed, and the thick board can be directly laid.
12 The rock slab used for floor paving should be at least 6mm or more, and the thin slab has higher requirements for paving accuracy. Normal construction is still to choose 12mm to save worry.
13: The rock board used as the countertop of the cabinet is recommended to be 12mm or 15mm. If it is thinner, it will have weak seismic resistance, and if it is thick, it will put a lot of pressure on the cabinet. It is recommended that kitchen countertops be processed locally, and the risk of off-site transportation is extremely high. And there will be uncontrollable errors caused by measurement habits.
14. The use of dark rock slabs as an integrated washstand or sink is likely to face the problem of scale. Handling troubles, choose carefully. In addition, the basin made of rock slabs has the risk of water seepage for a long time.
