Ultra-thin Stone VS Traditional stone

The world is developing rapidly and technology is changing rapidly. The stone industry is constantly developing and changing! Stone people continue to pursue new technology and new skills! Today, we will introduce a new category, the light cavalry in the stone industry-ultra-thin stone!

With the continuous improvement of the level of architectural decoration, the variety of decorative materials is becoming increasingly rich. Among them, ultra-thin stone and marble are popular among the public. They are wall materials that are widely used in interior decoration. Although they are all rocks, there are actually somewhere in between. Great difference. Especially the ultra-thin stone that is popular in recent years, many owners have met for the first time, it is difficult to distinguish clearly. Here we take a look at the difference between the two materials.

1) Thickness

It can be seen literally that the so-called ultra-thin, ultra-thin stone is very advantageous in thickness. The physical thickness of marble is 6mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 30mm, etc. It is used for indoor floor, wall, countertop and other home, office and public places. The thickness of ultra-thin stone is between 1-2mm. Different base layers have different thicknesses. For example, some base layers use silk cloth with a thickness of 0.5-1mm.

2) Materials

Marble is made of the same material as a whole, and it needs to be installed and processed without bending. Ultra-thin stone is a composite material, the base layer is glass fiber and polyester, and the surface is natural uneven rock. Due to the reinforced properties of polyester, ultra-thin stone has flexibility, and it has great advantages in the use of cylindrical coating and curved stone modeling, and marble is irreplaceable.

3) Production

Marble mining production and processing must use professional stone equipment, followed by physical cutting, polishing and processing methods, and ultra-thin stone using the layered nature of sedimentary rock, production by stripping processing, one sedimentary rock can be stripped of multiple Thin stone, energy-saving and consumption-reducing, processing can be done by woodworking table saw or scissors.

4) Installtion

The installation of marble is generally performed by cement paste wet paste and steel frame installation, and the operation is complicated. The ultra-thin stone is generally glued, and can be glued to the woodwork or cement base through nail-free glue, universal glue, etc. The installation method is relatively simple.

With its advantages, ultra-thin stone will definitely shine in the stone decoration industry in the near future.
