Roca De Piedra

Construction Method of Artificial Stone

This product adopts Japanese advanced technology and unique formula. The main raw materials Include selected silicate, lightweight aggregate and other Inorganic materials.

The construction steps are as follows.

I. Adhesive material: Artificial stones or tiles used as interior wall material — please use adhesives having high adhesive strength and the property of elasticity. such as 801 construction glue, Asa adhesive (Note: ordinary cement has small adhesive force and large shrinkage, which will make the artificial stones or tiles crack or fall oft).

Artificial stones or tiles used as exterior wall material — please use adhesives having high bonding strength and the property of elasticity. or high-quality cement added with reinforced glue (for example, cement: sand: 801 glue = 2:4:1, or cement: sand: water = 2:2:1).

* During the construction process, the bottom of artificial stones or tiles must be evenly coated with adhesive material. Never put dots of adhesive on the bottom.

•According to different characteristics of the above various adhesives, pave stones/tiles on dry surface or completely wet surface.

II. Arrangement: considering the overall effect, please arrange and set up the model on flat ground; when a best effect is found, pave accordingly following the same order, try not to pave together the artificial stones or tiles with similar size, shape or color.

III. Pave after bottom treatment: dims (especially the dust) on the wall surface and on the bottom of the artificial stones must be cleared off, and the wall surface should be rough but also have certain degree of flatness. Smear the adhesive material on the back of a stone to form a layer with the thickness of 10 - 20mm, and press the stone tightly onto the wall surface. A thin layer of adhesive can be applied on the bottom of the artificial stones/ tiles. (Note: 1. If large area of the surface of either artificial stones or tiles are accidentally stained, timely use soft brush and clean water to clean the surface before using the products. Remember not to use acid liquid to clean the surface of the products; 2. Do not use iron or very hard tools to hit the surface of products so as to avoid damaging the products.

IV. Gap standard and treatment: 1. For products with regular shape, gap may not be left. The minimum gap of 15mm should be left for products with arbitrary shapes. It is suggested to leave a gap of about 10mm for LP* Z series of artificial stones/tiles products, and please use a comb-type spatula to spread adhesives. 2. Pay attention to the depth when filling gaps. The deeper the gaps are, the stronger the stereoscopic effect of the products is; after the filling materials initially solidify, use bamboo strips or other tools to remove excessive filling materials; dip a brush in clean water to repair the gap surface.

V. Adjustment: To satisfy construction need, when the size of some artificial stones or artificial tiles does not meet the construction requirements, the sides of the stones or tiles can be cut so as to make adjustment. When paving corners of walls, please pave the wall angle first and pay attention to stacking flatly.

VI. Outdoor construction: please use the exterior wall series of products. In general, exterior wall products have already undergone protection treatment, having the characteristics of waterproof, anti-freezing, anti-ultraviolet radiation, anti-real kali, etc. Protective agent protection treatment can also be made after the paving is completed. (It is suggested to make protection treatment after the products and Joint filling agent has dried).

VII. Water replenishing treatment: in order to make the wall surface, mortar, artificial stones or tiles have better bonding strength, please follow the following requirements:

1. Before paving, walls and artificial stones or tiles must maintain a certain humidity; too dry walls must be sprayed with water; too dry artificial stones or tiles must be immersed in water or be sprayed with water. 2. If the artificial stones or tiles expose to direct hot sunshine for over five hours after being paved on walls, the stones or tiles must be sprayed with water mist (for example: if the temperature is above twenty-three degrees, it is recommended to spray water twice a day at eleven o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon respectively; if the temperature is above twenty-seven degrees, it Is recommended to spray water thrice a day at ten o'clock and eleven o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon respectively; Water spay treatment may be stopped after five days of continuous spray treatment. 3. It is suggested to use portable hand pressure sprayer as water spraying tool.

VIII. Completion treatment: timely remove dirt’s from the surface of the products (use a brush, soft clean cloth and clean water to clean. Remember not to use acid liquid to clean).

IX. Artificial stone is a kind of novel, lightweight, environment-friendly building decorative material, so its strength Is relatively low. Handle the products carefully during the loading and unloading process. Place the products with surface upward according to the packing sealing direction. The products are easy to crush if being placed sidelong. The products should not shake too much during the transport process, so the driver must drive the truck smoothly and stably. When unloading and stacking, find fiat ground and stack the products neatly. The maximum stacking height should not exceed 9 levels in principle.
