artificial white stone

Technical instruction for phoenix glass on machining

1?Use equipment with excellent mechanic performances, sharpness of the saw bit is the best, the thickness of saw bit is between 2.4MM -2.6MM . Grind the thickness of the blade to the best with firebrick before every cutting, the grinding time should not less than fifteen minute. Diameter of the sow bit should between ? 350mm -? 400mm (Imported saw bit is preferable)

2? Mind the cutting traveling speed while cutting the sheet material; usually the cutting speed is 2.5m /mim -5m /mim. Reduce the speed when move in or out the blade so the stone will not be broken. Speed of the main blade when bridging cutting is about 2500r/min. The higher the rotary speed, the cutting result is better.
3? Be careful when processing project plate lower than 1000mm . The flatness the worktable should be very high. If the worktable is not flat enough, the corners is easy to fall off when cutting.

4? Separate the cut plates with pearl cotton, because it is fragile.

5? Project plates need edge grinding, chamfer processing. Glass straight beveling machine can be used, mind the force of every grinding head while grinding on the beveling machine, power quantity of every diamond grinding wheel should not excess 1mm , main belt of the beveling machine should be parallel with the plate feeding belt, or the plate would be uneven. When side angle need polishing, resin grinding wheel can be used. If this equipment is not available, portable hydrostone-flat grinder can also be used.

6? Use ?35 glass drill head when processing alien plate, mark the outside wire of tapping. And then use special stone drill head to drill several small holes around the hole. Drill holes in the four corners when drilling a square hole. Cooling water should be used, and the cutting blade should also be grinded in firebrick before operation. Be careful when operating, it should be slashed at one time, it should be slashed for several times, and cooling water should be used in slashing to prevent broking.

7? While grinding the curved edge, first mark the lines, prepare the shape with hand grinding machine

and then polish with portable hydrostone-flat grinder. The operation method is similar with other stone edge-grinding method. What should mind is that it can not be grinded when it is dry, water is needed when polishing. When thicken an edge, grind the edge roughly with grinding machine, the same as the added slips. Then clean the roughly grinded parts, if there is dust or other things, the adhesive force would be interfered. When making a France edge, first scratch the line with cutting machine and then grind the edge with the same method. So the best effect might be achieved.

8? When cutting a 45-degree angle, regulate the gradient of the main blade to the best with hand power cutting machine, and then clean the worktable, regulate the fixing plate. It is a good put a rubber plate on the worktable. So the surface of the plate would not be scratched. Grind the saw bit before processing, and check the water quantity, the speed should not be too high.

9? Process the stair footplate, antislip slot and the plate whose edge should be slotted. Footplate of some projects should be thickened, the sixth and seventh method can be used. Special mind should paid on alien plate edge, when cut the stair footplate for the second time, verso plate cutting should be processed. And open a antislip slot and plate edge slot, requirement of the customers should be considered. When open the slot again with hand power to regulate the slotting width. Use the saw bit according to the slotting width. Thickness of the saw bit is 2.4, generally two saw bit would be installed on the work plate for slotting. Add the sea bit according to the size of processing. Slotted edge should be shine, grind with portable hydrostone-flat grinder.

10? Process steel hanged plate edge, fixed plate should be used on the workplate of hand power edge cutting machine. Fix the plate vertically and then regulate the work plate, add or subtract saw bits according to the width of slots.

11? Be careful when piling processed finished plates, pile the finished plates in cubes. Do not pile too many in one place to prevent broken.

But first, the similarities.

They are both stone, which makes them hard, heavy, expensive and time consuming to install. They are both natural products, which means there can be variations in color and pattern, and sometimes what you see in the display is not very close to what you actually get delivered. Both come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Both can be stained by oily or highly colored foods. So both require resealing every once in a while (it seems like yearly is the usual rule.) Both are relatively heatproof, and they won’t scorch (a very hot pot placed on either type of stone could crack it, theoretically.)

But granite is a much harder, stronger stone than marble. It resists impacts and scratches better. And it is resistant to acids like tomato juice, lemon juice or vinegar. Marble is simply calcium carbonate, just like chalk, but in a compressed and crystallized form. So acids can etch the surface permanently. (And it will fizz, just like chalk in vinegar.) And it cracks and scratches more easily. Some marbles have very little pattern (some are totally pure white) so stains and marring stand out more. Granite typically has a complex mottled pattern that hides stains better. So for hard use, granite is a better choice.

A marble countertop or slab is a traditional working surface for pastry chefs, because the cold stone keeps the butter in the pastry layers from melting. But polished granite would probably work as well.

Practical considerations aside, marble has a look that is possibly more elegant and luxurious. It has extremely fine crystals, which create a snowy or satiny look. And the colors and patterns can be quite dramatic. Granite tends to have larger crystals, perhaps the size of peas or rice grains. This creates a coarser, more sparkly look. And while granite comes in a range of colors and patterns, that range is probably narrower than for marble.

So most people seem to recommend granite for hard use areas like countertops. Marble is higher maintenance, less durable and about as expensive. Its one advantage may be in appearance, but that will depend on the owner’s taste and the kitchen’s overall style.

But just FYI, there is another possibility that is even more durable than granite, and that is quartz or “engineered stone”. It is made of quartz powder that is fused together at very high heat. Unlike granite, it resists stains and doesn’t need sealing. It comes in patterns and colors that mimic granite very closely, but it is totally predictable, and more uniform than real stone (which might be good or bad, depending on your tastes.) It also comes in colors and patterns not found in nature, like bright blue.

With the housing market in a slump, home owners are looking for ways to capitalize on their real estate investments in order to maintain maximum resale value.

One element these high-return renovations have in common, is the addition of natural stone counter tops.

In a world dominated by fashion crazes and must-have items that are not necessarily great performers, it would be valid to ask if natural stone is real value for money or possibly just another fad.

Granite and Marble has stood the test of time as far as work surfaces are concerned.

Stone counters are on display in the preserved ruins of Pompeii and the original natural stone surfaces are still in use in the public baths dating from the Roman Empire. In places such as Italy, Greece and Turkey, stone surfaces are the norm rather than the exception.

This great history proves the ultimate longevity of natural stone surfaces.

Because stone is a hard, crystalline material, it does not wear like much softer, man made surface materials  that consist mainly of plastic resins. The usable lifetime of natural stone counters can really be measured in generations.

Besides being resistant to normal wear occurring in any hard working kitchen, stone counters are also naturally heat and stain resistant. Some stones are so dense, in fact, that they do not need sealers, eliminating the necessity of periodic maintenance.

Natural stone is probably one of the easiest work surfaces to care for.

Besides regular wipe-downs with a damp microfiber towel, there really is not much else you need to do to keep your investment sparkly new looking.

With the abundance of natural stone friendly cleaners available from grocery stores, too, adjusting your cleaning regimen is just a matter of switching cleaner brands. This makes stone tops budget friendly in the maintenance department.

Ease of maintenance is another great selling point if you do decide to renovate with the eye on resale.

Another reason stone surfaces are popular with home buyers and designers alike, is its awesome beauty and uniqueness. ‘

Earthy colors like browns, golds and creams form only a fraction of the selection available. Greens, blues, purples, warm oranges, crisp whites and classy burgundies are all available, with patterns ranging from elegantly homogenous to boldly veined.

Well fabricated and professionally installed natural stone really is a statement of individuality and good taste and is a highly sought-after feature in homes that perform well in the real estate market.

1.The origin of the artificial stone

What should we do with the waste of granite that is produced by the production ? These waste materials pollute our environment seriously , how to solve this problem?

The scientists had found out the solution of the problem : Reclaim the waste materials which come from producing as raw material ,and then deeply process. The produce of artificial stone is not only solve the environment problem but also save plentiful mineral resource . By calculating that one ton waste material can process 20 square meters artificial stone , produce 2 million square meters artificial stone can solve more than 10 thousand ton waste material .thus turn the waste stone into gold .

2.The distinguish of artificial stone and natural stone

Compared with the natural stone , the artificial stone has the advantages of bright ,high degree of finish , even color , fine pressure and wear resistance ,fine toughness , compact in structure , robustness , light specific gravity , non-water-absorption , bear erosion and weathering , law chromatism , colorfast , low radioactivity etc.

Compared with the natural stone, the artificial stone has the advantages of using composite resource . If he annual production of one factory is 400,000 square meters , that can remove 30,000-50,000 tone waste material . It has influential effect and also the truly environmental friendly production of building material .

Compared with the natural stone, the price of artificial stone is competitive, elegance and noble . The artificial stone is able to second renew after years. That is the excellent quality and reasonable price for consumer’s selection. It is become the priority choice for the decoration material of the modern building .

3.The development trend of artificial stone

Since the durative improvement of the artificial stone technique , the multiaspect multipurpose demand of market faces with the opportunity of development . The products of developing from single traditional products to twin color , multicolor and match color .

Since we present the twin color variety – “Fantasy Royal “, the artificial stone immediately appears the trend of supply unable to meet the demand immediately , tand the successful trial product of quartz stone , improve the quality and use of the variety greatly .

Since durative develop of the new craft and technique , the artificial stone will develop towards the ultra thin type and diversification direction . At present , the artificial stone have already come out the quart stone within only 3mm thickness . The ultra thin slab of artificial stone has light weight , the common adhesive can fix it on the wall . It is not only save the cost of transportation , but also save and use effective of the stone resource .

4.The market trend of artificial stone

Due to the advantages of bright , high degree of finish , even color , fine pressure and wear resistance , fine toughness and reasonable price etc. According to the analyst of the expert , compared with the natural stone and artificial stone , a large market share of natural stone will give way to artificial stone in the future years . The success of crystal panel is good evidence . It can estimate that no more than ten years the artificial stone will divide equally world with natural stone and occupy half of the country’s stone business.
