Thin stone refers to a stone slab with a thickness between 10mm and 15mm. It is an important product of the stone industry in the 1990s. It is divided into marble slab and granite slab; ultra-thin stone refers to all kinds of stone slabs with a stone thickness of less than 10mm. . Generally, the thinnest granite slab can only be 8mm～10mm, and the specification is 305mm*305mm. However, people with lofty ideals in the stone industry have devoted themselves to research and practice for many years, and now they can make marble slabs as thin as 2mm, and the maximum specifications can be 1200mm*2400mm (thickness increases with increasing specifications): the thickness of granite slabs is the thinnest It can be up to 3mm, and the maximum size can be 1200mm*1200mm, making it the thinnest marble and granite stone tile at present. The biggest advantages of thin and ultra-thin natural stone are small size, light weight, natural color, uniform water absorption, solid and durable, easy to transport, colorful, can be made into the specifications of ordinary tiles, and have a wide range of uses, using ordinary bonding Agent (dry powder paste) can be fixed on the wall, which is a fashionable building material.
Thin, ultra-thin natural stone currently has various specifications such as 305mm*305mm, 600mm*400mm, 1600mm*600mm, 600mm*900mm, 800mm*800mm, 1050mm*1050mm, 1200mm*1200mm, 1200mm*2400mm, etc. The thickness ranges from 2mm to 10mm, and can basically meet various needs according to the needs of users.
Thin and ultra-thin products are lighter, only one-third of ordinary slabs. According to data, 6mm thick ultra-thin slabs weigh less than 18kg per square meter, and 8mm thick ultra-thin stone weighs less than 25kg. From the design perspective: the amount of steel and concrete can be reduced in the overall structure of the building, and the overall material cost of the building can be greatly reduced; in terms of construction: the installation is convenient, the cost is less, and the stone special glue paste method (dry powder Paste) for pasting, while ordinary boards are installed using cement mortar mounting method or steel keel dry hanging method. Compared with the two, the special glue pasting method has the characteristics of convenient purchase, less dosage and easy operation than cement mortar. It can be completed by changing people, which not only reduces the cost of construction materials, but also saves more than 60% of the man-hours for decoration and decoration. At the same time, the special glue for stone has good water retention and isolation, so as to better avoid the pollution of stone decoration and decorative surface due to cement efflorescence, water spots and white blooming.
Thin, ultra-thin natural stone reduces costs due to its thinness, and has been generally regarded as one of the most ideal green building materials in the 21st century due to its thin, light and transparent characteristics. Not only can the cost of stone decoration be reduced, but also the limited precious stone resources can be saved and effectively used. In addition to directly pasting, it can also be made into honeycomb panels, composite panels, etc. If a building originally uses 30,000 square meters of natural stone, the weight will be reduced by at least 1800 tons after the use of ultra-thin stone, and the unit construction cost will be reduced by 100 It is confirmed by the use of ultra-thin slabs in foreign buildings that ultra-thin natural stone can withstand various harsh environments such as earthquakes, thermal expansion and contraction.
