We all heard about such wonderful construction and finishing material as artificial stone. Let’s get acquainted with its properties closer. In their structure and composition, artificial stones are very much like real ones, but there are differences. So, man -made material usually consists of 80% marble crumbs, and all this is fastened with each other with the help of modern polymeric materials. As a result, a material is obtained, outwardly not distinguishable from the present, which at the same time has even a number of advantages.
The advantages of artificial stone
Due to its structure, artificial stone is easier to process. This means that it is easier to make and give the desired form an analogue than to get the same piece from natural material. Good examples of processing can be found on the site.
Therefore, it combines two advantages at once, such as the cheapness and ease of processing. Such material is very durable, so it can easily be used as the basis of the facade for your home. It can easily withstand a long static load. All the advantages of the components of the components united in the final material. Thus, artificial stone was resistant to atmospheric precipitation, resistance to wind and high temperature. Well, of course, that it is reliable and durable like a stone.
Designers and architects highly value artificial stone for the fact that almost any interior can be composed of it. Thanks to a wide selection, both in terms of textures and colors, the most daring solutions find their embodiment using this wonderful material. The undoubted advantage in its use is that it is absolutely not toxic and has no predisposition to absorb pollution in view of the absence of pores. And thanks to the presence in the composition of acrylic resins when connecting individual plates, it is possible to hide the cracks so much that the wall lined with artificial stone seems monolithic. In case of fire, this material will serve a good service, as it consists of non -combustible materials. On the contrary, it will effectively prevent the spread of fire, as it has high heat resistance.
How to repair a chip
Despite the high mechanical strength, there is a chance that a chip that spoils the appearance of the product is formed with a strong blow. This situation is certainly unpleasant, but there is no need to especially worry, since artificial stone is perfectly repaired. Especially for such cases, acrylic resins are sold in construction stores, which are part of artificial stone. All that is needed is to glue the broken piece as ordinary glue and polish the surface. Now no one will notice that the product had a defect.
