Due to the different materials and structures of granite and marble, each with its own characteristics, the processing and production methods of antique finished granite and marble are different.   Processing of antique finished granite   Due to the hard texture of granite, the first step is to use flame or high-pressure water flushing to create a rough surface of the flamed or rough finish (which can also be processed into lychee sandblasted finish, etc., but the effect is not very good). Note that when processing into a rough surface, it should be rougher than a regular flamed finish, which can avoid the next step of using a stone grinding brush to make the stone slab too smooth and lose the three-dimensional sense of the layout.   Next, use a stone grinding brush for brushing and grinding, preferably using a steel wire brush first to perform a rough brush to remove the loose material on the granite surface and shape it. This not only increases efficiency, but also reduces equipment wear and can extend the service life of the grinding brush.   Afterwards, according to the specific requirements of the customer, use a grinding brush from coarse to fine mesh to polish in sequence until the slab surface reaches the required effect and gloss. If the customer requests a smooth honed effect, they only need to use four processes: steel brush, 36 # (or 46 #), 60 # (or 80 #), and 120 # (or 180 #). If you want to achieve the effect of mercerization, you need to add three more processes: 240 #, 320 #, and 500 #. Of course, if all processes are done, the effect will be better. As for some outdoor slabs that do not require much glossiness, they can be directly brushed with a steel wire brush.   Processing of antique finished marble   Due to significant differences in the material of different types of marble, the processing method should be selected based on the differences in the characteristics of each type of marble .   Marbles containing more calcium and magnesium carbonate or with cracks and pores can be soaked in hydrochloric acid for corrosion, with a soaking time of about 10-20 minutes (depending on the specific type of stone). Afterwards, use a steel brush to remove the residue that attacks cracks and holes to increase the three-dimensional sense of the stone surface. Finally, use a grinding brush from coarse to fine mesh to polish in sequence until the slab surface reaches the gloss required by the customer.   If it is marble with a large amount of calcite, steel brushes can be directly used for processing. Similarly, a steel wire brush can be used to first create an uneven three-dimensional surface effect, and then a grinding brush from coarse mesh to fine mesh can be used in sequence for polishing. Usually, 180 #, 240 #, 320 #, and 500 # grinding brushes are used for processing. If the texture of marble is relatively hard, the previous steps can be added appropriately.

Due to the changing trend of stone design and decoration, the antique finished natural stone is increasingly widely used in the decoration of various buildings, and is very popular and favored by architectural designers and consumers. In fact, the antique finish of natural stone is not a new processing method that has only been developed in recent years. It existed as early as the 1990s. It has also been used in China for a long time, such as the National Grand Theater in Beijing, which partially uses this antique treated stone.   The so-called "antique finished natural stone" refers to the natural or special treatment that causes the stone finish to appear similar natural waves or cracks, and the natural effect (similar to honed or satin effect) that the stone appears after long-term use. Simply put, it means processing natural stone to create an antique effect that looks like it has been used for hundreds of years.   The advantages of antique finished natural stone   The antique finished natural stone has a smooth and uneven satin finish, revealing the natural crystal luster of the stone and playing a unique decorative effect. At the same time, it also improves the anti fouling and waterproof properties of the stone, and can play a role in anti slip. The antique finished natural stone can also avoid light pollution caused by the mirror reflection of light in buildings. Meanwhile, antique finished natural stone is easy to repair after wear and tear. In the meantime, the color difference is smaller than that of polished finish, which better reflects the value concept of natural environmental protection.   The main tools for antique finished processing of natural stone   The main equipment for antique finished processing of natural stone is the Abrasive Brush, which has three main types: nylon brush, steel wire brush, and mixed brush.   Nylon brush is a grinding thread composed of high-quality silicon carbide and special nylon material, firmly fixed on a brush base, mainly used for antique grinding brushes of marble. Steel wire brushes are made of stainless steel wire or low-carbon steel wire, mainly used for grinding hard stones such as granite. A mixed brush is a grinding brush made of special nylon and stainless steel wire.   Stone grinding brushes are classified according to specifications, including Frankfurt type (horseshoe shape), round, Fickett type (Bra type), etc. And classified by mesh size into wire brush, 36 #, 46 #, 60 #, 80 #, 120 #, 180 #, 240 #, 320 #, 500 #, etc. The Frankfurt type is used in the industrial production of stone materials, such as hand mills, production lines, and ground refurbishment machines. The round is used for small manual polishing machines, ground refurbishing machines, etc. The Fickett type is used for automated continuous grinding machines.

Natural stone is very common for building exterior walls, and stone decoration can reflect luxury and solemnity. The building facade with all stone dry hanging is full of quality and beauty. In addition, with the perfect carving art and the weightiness of stone components, standing in front of it seems to have a sense of reverence for buildings.   With the increasing requirements of architects for facades, the variety of stone materials has become more diverse. In addition to the conventional use of granite panels, some exterior walls of buildings now also use some limestone.   The main components of limestone are calcium carbonate (CaCO3), calcium magnesium carbonate, or a mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. From a geological perspective, limestone belongs to a type of sedimentary rock, originating from fragments and debris of other rocks. These fragments are compressed and cemented under various natural environmental factors to form sedimentary rocks. Compared to granite, limestone has lower strength and greater dispersion. For the special properties of limestone, back connections such as back anchor should be used. The thickness of the limestone should not be less than 40mm, and the anchor bolt should not be less than M6. It is recommended to use M8.   Limestone has many distinct natural features, such as the patterns or spots of calcite, fossil or shell structures, pits, slender tissues, open textures, honeycomb structures, iron spots, structures similar to limestone, and differences in crystallization. It is these characteristics that give limestone a natural sensory and rich layering.   Today, let's take a look at four types of limestone that can be used for exterior walls. Which one do you like?   Jura beige limestone Jura beige limestone, with its delicate texture, soft color, good wear resistance, is not easy to age, with a long service life that can last for hundreds of years. The light golden yellow base is noble and elegant, and the unclear texture makes the decorated space appear simple and pure. The simple and heavy stable texture not only brings European aristocratic temperament, but also highlights the magnificent and stable architecture.   Agarwood beige limestone Agarwood beige limestone, origin in Bulgaria, with a simple and elegant temperament, is easy to carve and shape. It is often used in building exterior walls or irregular products such as lines. Agarwood beige limestone is natural and simple, elegant and durable, calm and atmospheric, between white and beige, suitable for indoor and outdoor decoration matching. In today's pursuit of returning to simplicity and unique personality, the texture of Agarwood beige limestone avoids the monotony of pure colors, and reflects a decent taste in a low-key manner. It is suitable for various styles of decoration, can be fresh and simple, warm and romantic, can be classical and solemn, can be gorgeous and elegant, it always shows extraor...
