Stone railings are exquisitely crafted and have endless charm. To understand their craftsmanship, we start with the processing technology of stigma, handrail and flower plate.
Stigma process
The processing of the column head is divided into the processing of the column body and the column cap. Most of them are line carving, sandblasting and relief carving. First of all, line carving is the begonia-shaped line on the column body or the flower board part of the balustrade. There are double lines and single lines. The column body will not appear particularly monotonous. This is the most common shape of the column body, and it is also the standard configuration of the railing column head. In addition, the processing of the column cap of the stigma, the price of various shapes of column caps is different, according to the needs of customers to make some special column caps, the price of hand-carved column caps is higher, some special animals, figures and other shapes Column cap prices will be higher.
Then sandblasting is mostly used on polished and bright stones such as granite. Sandblasting is mostly on the surface of granite. Granite has high hardness and high processing costs. Therefore, shallow sandblasting can not only present patterns but also reduce costs. the best way.
Because of the difficulty of processing, the handrail, the cloud bottle and the flower plate are generally processed separately. Otherwise, the handrail, the cloud bottle and the flower plate use a single piece of stone, which reduces the difficulty of processing, processing costs, and naturally high costs. After the granite is polished and sandblasted, the color of the smooth surface and the sandblasted surface will form a contrast, and the sandblasted surface will turn white. If the color contrast is not strong, you need to manually spray a layer of white paint on the sandblasted surface to achieve strong contrast. Of course, the white paint will fall off over time, which is not recommended. If the customer insists on granite stone, the polished surface is not as strong as the sandblasted surface. In order to achieve customer satisfaction, this method can only be adopted.
The last is relief, as the name suggests, is the carving technique that emerges from the surface of the stone. Relief, which involves the depth of the relief, is commonly known in the industry as starting tires. Of course, the higher the starting tire, the higher the price.
As for whether the engraved pattern looks pleasing to the eye or rough, it still depends on the specific requirements of the customer, because there is no uniform standard, which involves the processing level of the processing company. In short, the price of line carving and sandblasting is lower, and the price of starting tire relief is higher.
Handrail craft
In the processing of handrails, the handrails will generally be corrugated, and the corrugations are divided into one, two or three separate upper corrugations, and one upper and lower corrugation, and two corrugations. Then there is the plum blossom.
Of course, the better the craftsmanship when corrugated, the more corrugated, the more complicated the corrugated, and the higher the price.
Flower board craft
The flower plate is mainly carved online, that is, engraving various patterns in the begonia line, which is better than engraving a circle of begonia line alone, but the cost is relatively high, Asian people like the column body is carved with some exquisite patterns, such as dragon, phoenix, auspicious cloud, etc. The frescoes of the balustrade can be engraved with some more meaningful murals, such as plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, Buddhist eight treasures, etc., and then engraved with upsetting pockmarks outside the inscribed line, so that the pattern and pockmarks contrast, making The stigma craftsmanship is more dazzling.
The craftsmanship of stone railings can be roughly divided into the above parts. After understanding the characteristics of various craftsmanship, you can request manufacturers to produce them according to your own needs.
