Dear Friend,
Flamed surface stone is a type of processed stone surface. It is commonly used outdoors, such as in courtyards, squares, exterior walls, sidewalks, parks, parking lots, and other places.
The surface processing methods of granite are divided into honed, flamed, polished, sandblasting, natural surface, flamed and brushed surface, axe cut surface, lychee surface, pineapple surface, and so on. So what are the functions of burning surface stones? Let's take a look now.
Flamed surface stone is the effect of heating the stone at high temperature until the crystal bursts, resulting in a rough surface. Due to its porous nature, it may be necessary to use penetrating sealants.
Advantages: Low processing cost, The processing site is not restricted. Due to only surface processing, it will not have a substantial impact on the stone material. The effect is extremely natural, non reflective, and widely used.
Application: Stone materials for some handicrafts, subways, airports, squares, exterior wall drywall hanging, sidewalks, parks, parking lots, and other places. Stone firing is mainly used for stones with crystals, and the crystal particles should be small. Most domestic granite can be flamed, such as 603, 602, rhododendron red, 654, etc. Imported stones with larger and exaggerated grain patterns cannot be burned, such as Naples, Bordeaux red, Indian golden hemp, Persian red hemp, etc., and those with larger crystal particles are also not suitable for burning, such as Angora brown, large brown beads, brown diamonds, etc.
The effect and color of stone after firing will be lighter than that of the smooth surface, and the grain after firing will differ greatly from the smooth surface, or it is impossible to see what type of stone it is (the grain can be seen by spraying water). Therefore, if using fire flamed surface for dry hanging stone, it is best to choose domestic stone. The reason is simple: 1. Imported granite is more expensive than domestic granite. 2: Most stones with the same main color, whether imported or domestically produced, have similar surface effects when flamed. Therefore, it is best to choose imported stones with a smooth surface, as it is a bit wasteful to make fire or lychee finish.
That's all about the matters related to the flamed stone surface mentioned above. Flamed stone surface is widely used in square floors and exterior walls for its many advantages such as low price, easy construction, anti slip and non reflective, simple and elegant appearance. So using it in engineering is the best choice. I hope my answer is helpful to you, and I wish you a happy life.
