Currently, the use of stone is main as the decoration, compared with other decoration materials, its biggest difference is that stone is natural. In many aspects, such as color, texture, construction and materials has its unique condition; So also having usage in the selection; Overall, the choice of stone should be considered from the following aspects:
1 Selecting the stone with low water absorption
The larger water absorption the more easily to absorb water causes the volume expansion, and because absorb the bathroom cabinet air soluble ingredients or salt, making the stone Floor Tiles eroded, causing the stone intensity reduce.
2 Selecting the stone with a small aperture and low porosity. The higher porosity, the greater water absorption, more easily to be weathered to reduce the intensity.
3 selecting the stone with large proportion. Although this stone has large compressive strength, it will increase the load to the structure, reducing the seismic resistance.
4 selecting the stone with directional bedding (such as slate, shale), you must pay attention to the structural strength of its different directions.
(Five), consider the using site
When the stone is used in the exterior walls, floors, tall buildings or other special external environment, the choice of stone will be more important.
(Six), installation methods
(Seven), the required total number of spa baths stone
(Eight), the source of stone to match with the overall progress of the project
