Common stone carving materials include stone, copper and Landscape Stone. Landscape Stone is a man-made material with certain advantages, mainly in two aspects:
1. Landscape Stone materials have the advantages of good simulation effect, light weight, easy installation, and no pollution. Especially in some special occasions, due to the limitations of installation conditions, only light and thin Landscape Stone materials can be selected. Of course, as the intermediate link in the production of Landscape Stone - the model stage, Landscape Stone are usually the first choice.
2. The low price of Landscape Stone materials is also one of the advantages of this material. Its cost should be 1/3 of stone materials and 1/5 of copper materials. This is one of the reasons why Landscape Stone materials are used in many occasions.
Of course, considering the long-term artistic effect of stone carving Landscape Stone materials, it also has shortcomings. First of all, due to its imitation, the texture cannot achieve the absolute artistic texture unique to real materials; secondly, its durability is not as good as real materials such as stone and copper. The lifespan of Landscape Stone materials is only 15-20 years when placed outdoors and cannot be stored for a long time.
The technology and experience in creating Landscape Stone effects are important to designers. Since Landscape Stone occupy a large market in many small and medium-sized
stone sculpture, especially small-scale manuscripts of Landscape Stone for realistic effects, the surface treatment effect of Landscape Stone is particularly important.
