Architectural rock carvings require a surface treatment before use, and depending on the surface processing technology, the types of facing rock carvings produced and the suitable places for use are also different. How is the decorative architectural stone mountain carving surface processed?
1. Grinding
The surface is flat and has a subtle sheen, with different gloss levels to choose from. The surface is very smooth, but porous. Such surfaces are common in places with a lot of traffic. Because of the large pore size of milled floors, a penetrating sealer should always be used. Grinding stone mountain carvings are not as vibrant in color as polished surfaces.
2. Polishing
The surface is shiny, but over time it will tarnish due to too much traffic and improper maintenance. This surface is smooth and less porous. The reflection of the polished crystal produces gorgeous colors, showing the mineral particles carved by the natural stone mountain. The luster comes from the natural reflection of the carved crystal of the stone mountain. Polishing tiles and polishing powder are used in production to form a polished surface, and the gloss is not produced by paint.
3. Fire
The surface is rough and formed at high temperature. During production, the stone mountain carving is heated, and the crystals burst, so the surface is rough. Porous surfaces necessitate a penetrating sealer.
4. Tumbling
The surface is a bit rough, made old by tumbling pieces of marble, limestone and sometimes granite in containers. It is often necessary to use stone mountain engraving color enhancer to make the color more vivid.
5. Sandblasting
A high-pressure jet of sand and water is used to spray sand onto the stone mountain carving to create a shiny but not smooth surface.
No matter which treatment method or process is used on the stone mountain carving surface, the quality of the treatment process will affect the decorative effect of the facing stone mountain carving and the stability of the performance to a certain extent. Therefore, consumers are advised to be careful and careful when purchasing. Choose carefully.
