How to choose the right outdoor tiles

1. Main types of outdoor tiles

Different tile materials are suitable for different outdoor environments. The following are common types of outdoor tiles:

 

Ceramic Tiles: These tiles are usually non-slip and have a surface treatment, suitable for balconies and outdoor courtyards.

Villa exterior wall tiles

Porcelain Tiles: Porcelain tiles are wear-resistant and frost-resistant. Because of their high density and low water absorption, many people use them for outdoor paving, such as gardens, paths, etc.

 

Slate Tiles: Natural stone with unique texture, suitable for villa courtyards, with natural no dare, but need regular maintenance to prevent damage.

 

Granite Tiles: High thickness, strong and durable, extremely wear-resistant, often used in outdoor walks or parking lots, the surface is very non-slip, anti-fouling and moisture-proof.

2. Considerations when choosing outdoor tiles

 

Slip resistance: Outdoor tiles need to have good slip resistance, especially in humid environments, which can effectively prevent accidents, such as swimming pools or shower areas. Products with good slip resistance can improve safety performance.

 

Thickness and durability: The outdoor environment is more severe than the indoor environment, and the thickness of the tiles also determines their service life. The thickness of outdoor tiles is usually 18mm and 20mm, because the high thickness can improve its compressive resistance.

 

Water absorption rate: In the outdoor environment, outdoor tiles generally have to have low water absorption rate. In order to improve durability and anti-freeze status, the water absorption rate is generally less than 0.5%.

 

Color and design: Outdoor tiles can be designed with different patterns. For example, in parks or squares, some DIY designs can be made to increase the beauty of the entire square. In addition, outdoor tiles generally choose light-colored tiles, which can effectively reflect sunlight and reduce the temperature of their surface.

3. How to choose suitable tiles according to different uses

 

Terraces and courtyards: Considering the beauty, porcelain tiles and slate tiles are a good choice for terraces and courtyards because of their excellent wear resistance and natural texture on the surface.

 

Swimming pool edge: It is recommended to choose granite tiles. The roughness of its surface can play a good anti-slip effect and ensure the safety of people walking by the swimming pool.

 

Sidewalks and driveways: Concrete bricks and granite tiles are recommended. Driveways need to bear higher weight, and the former two can bear this responsibility well.

 

Garden paths: Sandstone bricks or natural stone bricks can enhance the natural feeling and beauty of the garden path.

 

Conclusion

 

When choosing outdoor tiles, both aesthetic design and practicality should be considered. Choose different outdoor tiles according to different environments.

How to install sintered stone background wall?

Introduction: Sintered stone is a high-end building material that has appeared in the market in recent years. It is widely loved by people for its excellent durability and beauty. However, if you want to install the sintered stone for the living room background wall, there are many things to pay attention to. This article will give you a detailed introduction on how to install the sintered stone for the background wall.

1. Preparation and planning

Before installing the sintered stone, we must first check whether the wall is flat, dry, clean and crack-free, because these factors will affect the effect of installing the rock slab. If the local area is uneven, we can use leveling materials to adjust it. Then sort it in order according to the pattern of the sintered stone to avoid paving errors.

 

2. Material and tool preparation

The commonly used tools for paving sintered stones are: knives, cutting machines, level rulers, hammers, racks, suction cups and special adhesives. In addition, safety equipment such as safety helmets and gloves need to be prepared to ensure construction safety.

3. Waterproof treatment

The wall needs to be waterproofed before installation, especially for areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens. We apply a waterproof coating on the surface of the wall. After waterproofing, you need to apply a layer of primer to enhance the adhesion between the wall and the sintered stone. After applying the primer, you need to wait for the primer to dry thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.

 

4. Paste the sintered stone

Apply the sintered stone adhesive evenly on the wall. It is recommended to apply the adhesive in different areas to avoid over-drying of the adhesive. Then stick each sintered stone on the wall in order, and use a level ruler to measure and adjust to ensure the flatness of the wall. During the pasting process, you can use a suction cup to carry large-sized sintered stones, which is more convenient.

 

5. Edge trimming and caulking

After the sintered stone is pasted, the gaps in the board need to be processed. There are two solutions here. One is to fill the gaps with edge trimming strips. Another method is to fill the joints with professional caulking agents to ensure the beauty and waterproofness of the gaps. During the caulking process, clean up the excess caulking agent.

 

6. Fixing and reinforcement

For sintered stone boards with larger specifications, I recommend using auxiliary tools for fixing during installation, which can not only increase safety but also improve work efficiency.

7. Cleaning and maintenance

After installation, wait for the adhesive and caulking agent to dry, and clean the surface with clean water or neutral detergent to remove excess. Regular cleaning can keep the gloss of the sintered stone surface more perfect and increase the service life.

 

Conclusion

The above is the whole process of installing sintered stone on the wall. Through the correct installation process and proper maintenance, the sintered stone wall can maintain its beauty for a long time.

Calacatta Marble

 

Calacatta marble is a distinctive white Italian marble with gray and gold veining.Marble Calacatta takes name from the localities in Carrara (Calacatta, Calagio e Calocara) and there only 5 quarries located in this small area that give marble named Calacatta. The main characteristic of this marble is pure white microcrystalline structure with graphic veining of all shades of grey and gold colors. Technically it is high density marble, very hard, with very law absorbtion coefficient, law flexibility and others very highly appreciated by engineers characteristics. But to me the main value of this marble is its uniqueness, history and prestige. Nowadays most of high end design projects bare inside some Calacatta. And  personally I don’t think it’s only the history of this marble used by Michelangelo, Canova and most of artists, but the fact that it’s warm white background and all shades of grey and gold colors match most of modern colors and designs - from minimal to very extravagant and striking effects.

 

 Available as marble slabs and marble tile in both honed and polished finishes, this elegant natural stone is the perfect choice to create stunning marble countertops, marble kitchen islands, marble floors and backsplashes.

Quartzite Vs Granite Countertops

Quartzite is compared to granite in terms of hardness and durability, but it’s important to know that these two types of natural stone are not one and the same. Since quartzite comes in colors that are trending right now, such as light gray and white, it is a popular countertop option in today’s neutral-toned kitchen designs. It also looks a lot like marble, which many will agree is the epitome of luxury.

 

Blue Labradorite Granite

 

Granite is an igneous rock known for being very hard. Quartzite, on the other hand, is a metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz, the hardest material on earth. Both granite and quartzite are very hard, but on the Mohs scale of hardness, (from 1 to 10, 10 being hardest) quartzite has a slight advantage. It measures around 7 whereas granite measures around 6.

 

While quartzite is slightly harder than granite, it’s important to understand that it’s not bulletproof. Quartzite does have one particular disadvantage that you won’t see in granite: etching. 

 

Etching is surface damage in the form of a dull mark on natural stone. It happens when acidic substances come into contact with countertops, floors, walls, or anywhere you may have a natural stone. Quartzite can be prone to etching if not sealed once installed and this process is repeated once to twice a year depending on the type of slabs you opted for.

 

A quartzite countertop is also very easy to keep clean, as you will only need mild dishwasher soap and water. In terms of maintenance, having a quartzite countertop will be one of the easiest features of your house to take care of. 

 

Green Quartzite

 

Just like quartzite, granite is easy to clean. You can maintain the surface using warm soapy water. Do not use anything harsh such as vinegar or bleach though. Overall, granite is a very durable material that should stay in prime condition if cared for properly.

 

Quartzite prices generally start at $60 per square foot but can cost more if the type you choose is rarer. Granite usually tends to cost a little less than quartzite. Granite can mostly be found in the range of $40 to $100 per square foot. As with quartzite, this number can be on the higher end if the type of granite is rare. If you are looking for a better idea of the cost of either quartzite or granite, you should get an estimate or a few in order to find the best deals.

 

For installation, there is no clear winner in comparison between granite and quartzite. Both will require the assistance of a professional craftsman to install in your kitchen.

 

In addition to the elegant look of natural stone, installing either quartzite or granite in your home can actually increase the home’s resale value. Regardless of where it’s used and in what way, any way that natural stone is implemented will be sure to improve the look of your home. Beyond looks, the type of natural stone you select can also increase the functionality of the area where it is installed.

Why does quartz popular and the 6 advantages of Quartz

These years,there is a huge decrease in quantity of natural granite and marble exportation to USA,Europe and Australia in Countertop and Vanity tops business, because of the new trend of using quartz (Australia calls it engineering stone) for kitchen remodeling! Why did this happen? Why does the quartz become popular among home owners  !

Calacatta White Quartz

 

here are some good benefits :

 

1:Hardness , The Quartz can be very hard , because it is made of 90% natural Quartz sand , 8% Resins and 2% fixation accelerator in the factory , so The Moh's hardness of Quartz is up to 6-7 degree ,it is harder than natural marble ,limestone and travertine, for countertop and vanity tops , Obviously , It is non-scratched ,Like granite ! But there is also an advantage than granite. The surface of quartz does not need sealing treatment!

 

2:More Colors and no color difference , For Natural stone , There is an apparent defect , the Color difference,Especially for marbles , The Color is chaotic , Maybe in one slab , There are 2-3 colors ,one part is dark , or the above part is light , for some clients , this color difference is not acceptable ,especially for Villa or luxurious home decoration ,  but by using Quartz , There is no this issue , The Color is always uniform , even if for huge project! Xiamen Singo stone factory can easily control the color!

 

3:Long life Durability–unlike natural marble and natural granite, which are got from mine, quartz is produced and compressed in factories, by using the hardest quartz sand to produce quartz slab. This process makes quartz a very long life durability.

 

4:Beautiful Veins: The veins of natural marble tile is a gift from our earth mother, but the hardness of marble is low and the marble is with many cracks and other defects.So it is not very suitable for Countertop,vanity tops and table tops. So quartz become ideal material for it. Because the vein of quartz can be produced according to client’s requirement, in other words, we can create the veins or we can copy the veins from the natural marble but without the defects. I think that’s the main reasons for quartz popularity!

 

5:Easy to clean: Due to it’s stain resistant,non-porous nature,quartz do not be sealed like marble or granite,and it’s easy for home hostess to clean the surface!

 

 

6: Lower Price to get it : For Quartz , at first ,Maybe it is expensive ,but now ,The price is lowered down , For example , The price of natural calacatta marble slab is up to 700USD/M2 , but Quartz Calacatta slab is only 100USD/M2 or even lower !
