What is an artificial cultural stone?
In 1960s, an American stonemason named Mei Sen invented the principle of "artificial cultural stone", and then Garrett and Floyd Brown developed "artificial cultural stone" products with pumice and other materials. Artificial cultural stone has light texture, high strength, low water absorption and good melting resistance. But also is energy-saving and environment-friendly, and can realize zero emission of carbon dioxide and no radiation. Artificial cultural stone products began to be used in the decoration of high-end villas in western California, and quickly occupied the entire American and Canadian markets. Nowadays, artificial cultural stone has blossomed all over the world, and among all the artificial cultural stone products, the artificial cultural stone made of pumice is the most advanced: it imitates the appearance and texture of natural stone, and has the characteristics of light texture, rich color, no mildew, no flammability and easy installation.
What are the advantages of artificial cultural stone?
1, technical performance advantages
The research center has carefully designed styles with different shapes, structures, colors and textures. Create a variety of customs, such as rough, elegant, simple, simple and primitive, which combine to make the wall very three-dimensional. Dust-proof and self-cleaning function: the surface is treated with waterproof agent imported from America, which is not easy to adhere to dust. It can be as clean as new after the wind and rain, and there is no need for maintenance.
2. Advantages of safety and environmental protection
Most of the raw materials are taken from nature, which meets the requirements of environmental monitoring and is non-toxic, flame-retardant and mildew-proof. New artificial cultural stones and important raw materials were suppressed, which not only avoided man-made damage to the natural environment, but also utilized some waste materials. The price is cheaper than natural stone, but the quality and decorative effect are not lost at all.
3. Advantages of stable quality
A laboratory is set up within the company: (1) to test every batch of raw materials that enter the site, and the unqualified raw materials are resolutely not used. (2) Inspect each batch of finished products, and unqualified products will never be delisted. (3) Design the best concrete mix matching the product. (4) In the process of raw material inspection and production, the local standard of Hebei Province, Cement-based Artistic Pouring Plate for Building, shall be strictly implemented. In order to ensure that every batch of our products is qualified.
4. Color advantage
The artificial cultural stone used for outdoor decoration is not only good in decorative effect, but also light in texture, flame retardant and fireproof, rich in color and bright in color. The color is modulated by Bayer iron oxide in Germany, which ensures the lasting stability, corrosion resistance and acid and alkali resistance of the color. Besides being beautiful and having a long service life, the artificial cultural stone also has the greatest advantage of environmental protection.
5. Advantages of texture and materials
The specific gravity is 1/3~ 1/4 of natural stone, and the texture is light, and no additional wall support is needed. Strong impermeability and frost resistance. Hand-painted, the surface color of the cultural stone is uniform, and the color and texture are only seconds. There are many kinds of colors, with many types, to create a variety of external walls. The most important thing of artificial culture stone is the use of mold template, and in order to better color artificial culture stone, when using silicone rubber mold, it is best to wait for the mold to be demoulded for more than 24 hours before putting into production, and follow the principle that artificial culture stone mold will never leave the disk.
Application of artificial cultural stone
Artificial cultural stone is a wonderful flower in building materials industry. At first, this decorative material was mainly used in high-grade villas with wood structure to achieve the style similar to the ancient castles in the western United States. Now it has been widely used in various modern buildings, with a unique retro atmosphere and unique taste.
Characteristics of artificial cultural stone
1, light in texture. The specific gravity is 1/3- 1/4 of natural stone, and no additional wall support is needed.
2. Durable. Colorfastness, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, high strength, good frost resistance and impermeability.
3. Green and environmental protection. No odor, sound absorption, fire prevention, heat insulation, non-toxic, pollution-free, non-radioactive.
4. Dust-proof and self-cleaning function: treated with waterproof agent, it is not easy to attach dust, and it is as good as new after wind and rain cleaning without maintenance.
5. Simple installation and low cost. It does not need to be riveted on the wall, and can be directly pasted; The installation cost is only 1/3 of that of natural stone.
6. More selectivity. The styles and colors are diverse, and the combination and collocation make the wall very stereoscopic.
