Colored stone metal tile, as the name suggests, the material must have a relationship with stone and metal.
First of all, the colored layer you see on the surface is actually a layer of basalt gravel. The source of this layer of gravel determines the color quality of the tile. For example, the colored sand above the colored stone metal tile of Saint Gobon comes from the basalt rock field, which was originally formed by volcanic rock, and then artificially polished into the particle size required by the tile. We use the technology of ceramic high-temperature firing process to fire the original single color basalt into the colorful favored by the public.
Of course, many people will worry that this layer of colored sand and color will start to fade off after a few years? The answer is no. Usually regular manufacturers of colored stone metal tile, its surface color sand color is generally lifelong. In addition, this layer of colored sand not only makes the tile more decorative, but also plays a role in protecting the “substrate” below and reducing rain noise.
Okay, now let’s talk about the substrate of the tile. Colored stone metal tile has a characteristic, the weight is generally only 1/6 of the traditional tile. Why can you make it so light? The answer lies in this substrate. This substrate looks very “thin”, really like plastic plate, but its true identity is “aluminum-plated zinc steel plate”, that is, the use of aluminum and zinc these two main metal materials, plus other auxiliary materials electroplated steel plate.
There will also be a layer of fingerprint resistance coating above the aluminum-zinc layer, so that the steel plate has strong hardness and corrosion resistance, and such steel plate material will ensure that the tile can have a service life of 30 to 50 years.
In terms of construction, this thin steel plate material not only has a long life and high hardness, but also saves time and effort in the actual installation of construction personnel. The previous tile is bulky and fragile, so the cost of labor and material loss is also high. And colored stone metal tile can save this cost very well.
From the perspective of resource utilization, the metal material of colored stone metal tile is destined to be recycled twice. That is to say, if we want to renovate the house in the future, or replace the tiles, the original metal tiles of the house can also be used again to avoid the waste of materials and ecological pollution.
