landscape boulders are finished stone sculpture that have been widely used in municipal engineering sstone sculpture and commercial engineering sstone sculpture because of their light weight, corrosion resistance, and low cost. However, for users, in addition to the performance and application of landscape boulders, the cost of landscape boulders is a more important question. At present, domestic stone carving manufacturers are also uneven. So, what are the factors that affect the cost of landscape boulders?
(1) The difference in the use of materials will affect the cost. As we all know, the material used to make landscape boulders is composite material. Because it is a composite material, the specific cost depends on the material you choose. The cost of epoxy resin is usually higher than polyester resin. The cost of flame retardant resin is higher than that of ordinary resin.
(2) The size of landscape boulders is also the key to cost. The price of large stone sculpture is relatively high. After all, more materials and time will be used.
(3) The cost of stone carving is determined based on the molding process of the product to be made. Usually the cost of the manual pasting process is very low, followed by vacuum bags and RTM.
(4) Starting from the complexity of landscape boulders molds, determining the cost of stone sculpture usually results in simple molds and low product costs. The development cost of complex molds will be many times higher. In addition, the cost depends on the number of products to be produced. A landscape After the boulder mold is developed, sometimes it is just one product, and of course the cost will be very high; if it is mass production, one set of molds can make several products, and several sets of molds can make dozens of products, thus diluting the popularity of stone carving products accordingly. total cost.
(5) The complexity of sstone sculpture will also affect the cost of landscape boulders. Complex shapes must be much more difficult than simple shapes.
(6) Since the landscape boulders have a certain weight and height, after the stone sculpture are made, the manufacturer will transport the stone sculpture by truck, so the transportation distance will also affect the cost of the landscape boulders.
Generally, the outdoor life of landscape boulders can reach 8-10 years. Of course, they need to be made. The number of sstone sculpture and the thickness and symmetry of the entire stone carving need to be achieved. The paint on the surface protective layer also has a great relationship. Generally, if nitrocellulose paint is used outdoors , it is estimated that the surface color will need to be repaired in less than two years.
Because its strength is equivalent to that of steel and stone carving components, landscape boulders have the same color, shape, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, heat insulation and other properties as stone sculpture. Like stone sculpture, with the development of my country's landscape boulders industry, they are used as plastic-based reinforcements. The materials have expanded from stone carving to carbon fiber, boron fiber, aramid fiber, alumina fiber and silicon carbide fiber. There is no doubt that the reinforced plastics made of these new fibers are some high-performance fiber-reinforced composite materials. Then consider To the origin and development of history, FRP composite materials are usually used, so this name is more holistic.
