What are the considerations for choosing stone for home decoration?

Since natural stone comes in many colors, the color is also very important when you choose the stone. Generally, red symbolizes warmth and enthusiasm. Decorating the hall with red granite gives people a festive feeling of being at home. White and off-white are clean and bright, suitable for decorating bathrooms and kitchens. Dark gray and black give people a sense of solemnity and stability. The combination and parquet of several different shades of colors will distinguish the priorities and increase the sense of liveliness and coordination. Due to the limitation of lighting, it is not advisable to choose darker colored stones when decorating the floor; when decorating the countertops, except for the kitchen, stones with bright colors and gorgeous patterns should be used, such as "big flower green", "big flower white", etc. The kitchen countertops should be mainly light-colored. Stone products such as round tables, desk lamps, tables and chairs are frequently exposed in daily life and must be protected from pollution, such as tea, ink, juice, wine, etc. Therefore, the color of the stone should be darker, such as green, blue, red marble, flower Any granite is acceptable. Things to pay attention to when laying stone. If you want to understand the things to pay attention to when laying stone, you must first understand the construction specifications and construction procedures of ground stone, because ground stone paving is a project with relatively high technical requirements, and the construction quality has a profound impact on the quality of the entire home decoration project. has a great impact, so the construction must be carried out in accordance with standardized procedures. Only in this way can the quality of the entire decoration be guaranteed.

1. For standard ground stone paving procedures, the base layer must be cleaned during the construction process. The uneven areas must be chiseled and repaired first. Before leveling the bottom layer with cement mortar, the ground must be moistened with water. This can effectively improve the bonding ability between the stone and the base layer. When paving stone, standard blocks must be placed first. The standard blocks should be placed at the intersection of the cross lines and installed diagonally. In the specific paving process, each row must be hung with wires in turn, and the stone must be soaked in water, and the backside must be wiped clean after drying in the shade before use. When paving, the paving should be done backwards from the center to the four sides. When placing the stone, the four corners must be dropped at the same time, and be hammered tightly and flat with a rubber hammer or wooden hammer.

2. Floor paving with multiple varieties, shapes, and specifications of stone. Some families also like to use multiple varieties, shapes, and specifications of stone for floor paving. If your home is paving the floor, In this case, you must pay attention to the following points during the laying process: Boards of different shapes and colors will cause visual illusions during the laying process, so try to avoid being affected by this illusion when laying. bring negative effects, but also learn to use this illusion, grasp the combination of multiple colors and shapes, and pay attention to the way of indoor lighting to see if it can be coordinated with the surrounding environment to ensure that the paving can achieve the desired effect. The best decorative combination effect. When laying stone materials, the specifications of the materials used must be coordinated with the area of ​​the ground, because the specifications of the boards will directly affect the area effect of the ground. If the ground is laid with boards of very small specifications, it will make people feel unsightly. The area shown is larger than the actual area. If large-sized boards are used, the area of ​​the ground will appear smaller than the actual area. When using different stones for paving, you must pay attention to whether their friction coefficients are consistent. If you use plates with different friction coefficients, unevenness or other defects will occur due to differences in contact and bearing capacity during subsequent use. . 3. Acceptance criteria for ground stone paving The acceptance criteria for ground stone paving are to first check whether the ground stone paving is firm, whether the surface is flat, and whether the color is coordinated. There must be no obvious color difference. At the same time, the joints between the boards must be straight and uniform in width, and the stone must not have missing edges or corners. Even if it is a non-standard board, its paving position must be correct. Generally, when inspected with a pull wire, the error is less than 2 mm. When using a 3-meter ruler to check the flatness, the error is less than 1 mm.

4. Common quality problems and solutions for floor stone paving Common defects in floor stone paving are hollowing and large flatness deviations.

The main reasons for the occurrence of hollows are that the bonding layer mortar is thin; the cement slurry has dried during paving; the pollutants on the back of the board have not been removed; or someone walked on it too early during the maintenance period. In order to avoid the occurrence of these problems, it is necessary to ensure that the bonding layer mortar is dry during the construction process. Generally, it will be spread when it lands on the ground. The water-cement ratio of the cement slurry when paving is 1.5:1. It is strictly forbidden to use cement flour for paving. . After the stone floor is paved, it must be sprinkled with water for maintenance within 24 hours. It is prohibited to step on it within 48 hours. If other construction is required, solid wooden boards must be laid on the ground for people to walk on. If the flatness deviation is large, in addition to improper construction operations, there are also reasons why the board surface is not installed flat and the board warps. Therefore, materials must be strictly selected during construction to eliminate unqualified products with serious warping. If there are materials with uneven thickness, mortar can be applied on the back of the board for adjustment and leveling. If the local deviation is large, it can be polished and smoothed. Be polished. If it is found that there are no flat plates, it must be removed and reinstalled.
