Reasonable collocation to create a perfect home improvement

Collocation artificial quartz stone is an important element in home display space and comfortable. With natural beauty and color of the stone, for the designer to provide a broad space for the design, she has her own unique charm to conquer the hearts of countless love it. Stone selection, how to carry out effective match, will be related to the overall effect of decoration.

And the choice of decoration stone collocation:

1,tones is an important factor influencing the selection of crystallized stone. It is mainly composed of color, color, pattern of three parts. The general color is the rock matrix or fine, are grains of color, different color stone often decided decorative effect and application. Such as to be given priority to with shades of red granite shows rich, luxurious and elegant; and color to black granite show solemn, solemn and elegant; shades of green marble is full of vitality; all of these different shades of stone are applicable different decoration occasions.

2,decorative intent and environmental impact, due to the use of different natural facing stone decorative parts, so the type of stone used is different. When used for outdoor decoration, needs to withstand the wind blows drench and solarization, granite because it does not contain carbonate, low water absorption rate and anti weathering ability strong, the best selection of various types of granite stone; for ground decoration of the hall of the decorative stone, its physical and chemical properties of stability, high mechanical strength, preferred granite stone palissandro blue marble. For dado and Home Furnishing bedroom floor decoration, the mechanical strength is a bit poor, should be chosen with beautiful marble pattern.

3,natural decorative stone to be considered in addition to color, but also consider the function of decoration. At home, the living room and bedroom decoration should use warm color, to show a warm and comfortable atmosphere; and for bathroom, kitchen decoration should use Sudan elegant colder tone to show clean and sanitary.

stone protection

Bathroom stone should pay attention to waterproof

Artificial quartz stone is wet after installation, construction workers are often for the sake of fast surface or gap surrounding residual cement, or cement containing bonding agent rapid removal, and the use of acid detergent such as acetic acid, such as hydrochloric acid cleaning, such as the stone prior never do door handle or failed to take effective protective measures, often resulting in occurrence of stone material surface acidic chemical residues, a future occurrence of the etiology of stone changes. Therefore, it is suggested that general state of stone cleaning, use a neutral detergent.

Specific to the bathroom stone, used to use a dry towel or rubber roller will wipe the walls of the bathroom. Because in the shower wall after the drops of water will leave the watermark and the sediment on the stone. Daily cleaning can be used on the market neutral palissandro blue marble cleaning agent and its main components are hydroxyethyl cellulose, silicate and fragrance agent. You know, even with slight acidic cleaning agent, the marble surface will chronic erosion, long-term exposure will destroy the stone surface of the organization, serious erosion of the surface of the stone; slight will undermine the smooth stone surface; latent will be stored in the pores within the stone, slowly oxidized into crystals.


Regular professional maintenance

Consumers at home regardless of the stone is how careful maintenance and not professional stone maintenance personnel to do, but there is no established a stone maintenance and cleaning of the professional norms, stone maintenance and cleaning of professional accomplishment drop greatly, consumers in the face of stone material maintenance company, often at a loss, do not know how the economy and professional decide. It is recommended that consumers try to choose professional cleaning and maintenance, routine maintenance and maintenance, periodic maintenance and maintenance can make the stone furniture commonly used as new, to maintain the color of the stone, can prolong the service life.
The surface dirt, wear, scratch and chromatic aberration of the rock, granite and granite can be refurbished. Renovation must use professional renovation and grinding equipment, professional personnel to carry out renovation operation should also choose marble or granite dedicated diamond pad and polishing powder according to the varieties of crystallized stone, and strictly according to the diamond pad item No. order from coarse to fine stage by stage grinding, in order to achieve the ideal polishing effect, the stone surface renovation and maintenance.

Four strokes teach you skills in the stone base

In the application of stone common problem, return probability is very high, great harm and difficult to cure honey onyx tiles. Fanjian reason is a stone paved paste not carried out before the stone door handle, construction and alkaline substances in the water with the water to stay present on the stone surface, when the water evaporates, the alkaline substances will stay on the stone surface, resulting in the destruction of the stone surface gloss.
Understanding of the stone Fanjian reasons, we should take measures, and to develop treatment programs, in general, Fanjian, Bai Hua, pan salt management should strictly follow the "cut-off, drying, cleaning, door steps and methods.
1, water
As far as possible to prevent stone and water contact (including moisture), mopping the floor, water, stone on the back of the water, rain water, direct contact with water, soil moisture, air humidity large, should be taken into consideration.

2, dry
Open the doors and windows for ventilation, dry naturally, blown by a blower, pump dry (pumping machine power more better) diamond white quartz, baking lamp or a jet of flame heating, heating heating, with lime moisture absorption, these methods can be applied, try to keep the stone clean and dry.
3, cleaning
Return water + stone cleaning agent can effectively remove, cleaning methods are as follows:
(1): mild - water directly washed off, if not, can be matched with the amount of stone cleaning agent.
(2) severe Fanjian: with a stiff brush will stone cleaning agent SINO-306 coating on the surface of the stone, the use of stone cleaning agent of acidic substances, and soda alkaline substances occur neutralization reaction. After 10 minutes, with water the stone surface is rinsed clean and natural air dry, it can be removed.
4, protection
Stone finish after cleaning, must be painted with protective agent, in order to reduce the water absorption of stone, thereby reducing the probability of return of stone. The stone base protection method has the following three ways:
Seal type
Low density stone, the stone with a high crack crack crystallized stone, sandstone, bibulous rate, can be the first to use oily stone protective agent SINO-1250 6 door. After 24 hours, in the stone floor and four side (except surface) even brushing stone sealant SINO-1600, finally dried can be.
Immersion type
The protective agent into the pool, into the stone, so that the stone fully soaked in the face of the protective agent, placing more than 10 hours, so that the plate absorbing foot protective agent.
Supply type
Regular maintenance of the stone, regularly fill brush, through continuous supply, bring long-term protection effect.

Ancient wood stone polishing technology physics

Ancient wood marble texture clear and smooth, the colors of black and white ash and many other, quite similar to the cross-section of bianco carrara old trees, hence the name. Its solemn yet beautiful decorative effect, widely used. But in the stone care industry, the ancient wood considered "hard light stone club" in an important member. Whether renovation or maintenance, the ancient wood polishing technology, are a problem.

First, the ancient grain physical polishing

1. Procedure

Step one: using a grinder + VD easy to wear pieces, the overall polishing process.

Step Two: After grinding followed by M1-M7 segment to number seven. Equivalent to an ordinary number 50 #, 150 #, 300 #, 500 #, 800 #, 1500 #, 3000 # grinding finish.

2, polishing

Number seven segment M1-M7 mill finish: 63-75 degrees. Average gloss: 67 degrees.

Note: This is purely a physical grinding out above do if gloss sealing glaze over and over will be able to reach more than 90 degrees!. Moreover, the bottom surface is optimized so even delicate, ancient wood can do a whole Bach, and lip and bright!

We will announce the results later, so many stone factory surprised and shocked. Used to seeing on a beige stone class stone care of more than 100 degrees, probably do not understand the grinding out 67 degrees, for this ancient wood stone, what it means - stone factory with high-stress, high-speed machinery, thrown out ancient wood - and only about 50 degrees!

3, the persistence of it?

We intentionally left out of the lobby area not sealed glaze for observing such physical gloss, without any maintenance, after prolonged use what will change.

This area is, after 2015 8, 9, 10, 11, December, and January 2016 test, as of today, January 30, 2016 - in the six-month period allowed to stampede - - gloss decreased only 3 to 5 degrees only.

To dirty, wash on the line artificial quartz stone. Wash still the same transparent, beautiful.

+ Beautiful lasting, consumers do not want that here?

Six months of continuous use

Second, science: Why ancient wood hard polishing?

1, so that the plant had a headache ancient wood

Speaking of ancient polished wood, stone care not only headaches, even the stone processing plant has deep feelings. Because most of the marble at the factory processing, grinding out the physical gloss generally above 80 degrees, that is, when we buy the stone, you can see the original plate gloss.

But the ancient wood in the factory grind out the gloss generally only about 45-55 degrees, much lower than other varieties of marble. Factory solution, is used when the stone polishing wax to fill form gloss 70-80 degrees. However, this method is purely upset.

2, hard light of reason

Not only is the plant, a lot of experienced professional stone care company Take ancient grain is also no way, do not transparent, do not shine. So what is the reason?

① chemical composition

Old wood was black, in that manganese dioxide (MnO2) and carbide components higher calcium content is very low. Ancient grain has obvious rhyolite feature. Its formation is fractured along the hot magma intrusion foundation rock, making contact with hot parts of the secondarily crystallized white. The reach of the high temperature part of the original state, was black. After millions of years of crystallization, the role of co-precipitation, the formation of such a unique stone.

Black part, which is formed by precipitation, without crystallization, structure is more loose, low density, high water absorption, low calcium content, especially in this part of the hard light.

Stone crystal technology is the use of oxalic acid, fluorosilicic acid, silicic acid and other materials react with the calcium stone, calcareous blended generate crystal layer, to achieve light. Therefore, in the low calcium content of ancient wood, whether powder, agents, pulp and other materials, the effect is not good.

② black is not dirt

Black is a strong color contrast, the ability to hide the ugly black stone is worse than the other colors of the stone.

Problems such as scratches stone, black stone even minor scratches, it is very obvious; but white, beige and other stone strong ability to cover scratches. Another example dust, slight dust pollution, but also make shiny black stone surface becomes hazy, honey onyx tiles and white, beige stone dirt ability is stronger than the black stone.

This factor, so that the ancient wood in applications is easier because of scratches and contamination, resulting in low-light vision on light. As follows: ash wood stain on the left more than the right side of the Black Sands, but I can not see.

NOTE: In conclusion, the physical and chemical properties of ancient wood, determines the crystallization on it unable to obtain a high gloss

Travertine & Limestone Facts

Limestone
Limestone is sedimentary rock consisting mostly of organic material such as skeletons and shells of marine creatures and sediments. It is formed by material which settles to the bottom of bodies of water, and over millions of years, solidifies into artificial quartz stone solid rock. Earth movements over extremely long periods of earth's history can lift limestone miles into the air. The summit of Mount Everest is limestone that started out on an ocean floor.

Ramon Gray
Can I use limestone in my kitchen?
Like marble, polished limestone is subject to surface changes or damage from kitchen acids including citrus juices, vinegars, mustards, and so forth. Unsealed, some of the more porous limestones can be subject to stains  polar white quartz. If the limestone is polished or semi-polished, you will see a rough spot where the substance sat on the stone. On a honed surface, such etches will be less noticeable.

Jerusalem Bone
Is limestone soft and chalky?
No, not at all. There are some limestones that are very hard and dense, nearly as hard and resistant as granite, and extremely non-porous. Keep in mind, though, that these very hard limestones are still calcium-based and, if polished, are subject to damage from household acids.

Gray Gold
Travertine
Travertine is limestone, in a sense. It is formed by geysers when the extremely hot underground water dissolves the underlying limestone and carries it upwards with the geyser water  pure  white quartz . When the water falls to the ground and evaporates, it leaves behind the dissolved limestone which re-hardens into stone. The new stone is full of gas bubbles, which give travertine its characteristic appearance. When it is manufactured as tiles or slabs, travertine is generally filled with cement and polished or honed.

Create an exquisite waterfall feature or a bubbling fountain. Your design can bring a resort atmosphere right into your backyard!

After you have spent the day relaxing by the pool, retreat to your own fire pit area to toast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. Fire pits are becoming extremely popular and it’s no wonder with their reminder of childhood camping experiences. They convey an atmosphere of warmth and fun. Plus, they are an economical option for adding luxury without a large investment or a lot of maintenance. Consider an intimate design that frames the area with stone benches while you sit around a pre-manufactured fire pit that is easy to install. Or build a fire pit of your own design using pavers or drystack stone.

Cozy Outdoor Fireplace Retreat

The fall season is not that far away and you might like having an outdoor fireplace to extend your time outside.

3 Stone Patio Surface Ideas for Your Residence

Cobblestone patioIf you are coming home and looking at a plain, concrete pad or boring back yard, you might be thinking how awesome it would be to have your own stone patio. Stone is long-lasting and beautiful. It is hard, durable and low maintenance. But selecting the artificial quartz stone that works best for your area might not be as easy as you think. Different types of stone work better for different areas.


There are a number of possibilities for using stone in surfacing an outdoor patio. The design and materials used in that design are important for the area’s setting and style. Besides design, you want to consider the size of the area you are working with and the function of the stone. And you don’t have to limit yourself with only one type of pure white quartz stone.

Here are 3 patio surface ideas:

A Flagstone Pool Patio

Your pool area is where everyone congregates. Flagstone is both an elegant and casual option for a pool area. It has rich earth-toned colors and textures. Lay down rectangular cuts in a stacked, basket weave, herringbone, or other arranged pattern for a sophisticated atmosphere. Choose a random pattern or use irregular shapes for a more casual atmosphere.

Homeowners love flagstone around pools because it is practical for both small and large areas. It is cut flat to make it ideal for patio surfaces. It is especially ideal around areas that get wet regularly because it has a natural non-slip surface. Besides resisting moisture, it resists heat and can withstand constant use polar white quartz.

A Cobblestone Garden Patio

Granite cobblestones give a quaint, historic feel to an area, making them wonderful for smaller garden patios. When laid down for your surface, cobblestone can make a space look larger. They are hard and don’t stain so they work well for garden patios where you have high traffic. They are non-porous so they work best in areas that are dry, such as an eating area. Rectangular in shape, the cobblestones can be laid down in a stack, herringbone, basket weave or circular fan pattern to create the look you want.

A Casual Courtyard with Aggregates

Aggregates such as pea gravel look good as a casual courtyard surface material. Add a curved path with stone aggregate leading to and from the courtyard for a cottage feel or mix in paved stepping stones to create a more prominent entrance. This is an inexpensive option for the person who doesn’t mind periodically raking the gravel. And if you mix and match pea gravel with larger pavers to make a pattern, your area will stay tidy longer. The look is quite elegant with some simple furniture pieces or a focal point such as a fountain.

Kunmastone Center has a wide selection of stone to choose from for your patio project. Call us at 400-6333-770  for more information or visit our showroom.
