KNOWLEDGE

The stone more thinner more better

01. The thickness of natural decorative stone currently on the market

 

According to the national standard, natural decorative stone slabs are divided into conventional slabs, thin slabs, ultra-thin slabs and thick slabs according to product types.

 

Regular board: 20mm thick

 

Thin plate: 10mm -15mm thick

 

Ultra-thin plate: <8mm thick (for buildings with weight reduction requirements, or in order to save materials)

 

Thick plate: plate thicker than 20mm (for stressed ground or exterior wall)

 

The mainstream thickness of conventional slabs in the foreign stone market is 20mm. In order to pursue low prices in the domestic stone market, the thickness of slabs conventionally used in the market is currently lower than the national standard.

02. The influence of the thickness of the stone plate

 

Block cutting board, different thickness will affect the yield, the thinner the board, the higher the yield, the lower the price.

 

03. Influence on stone quality

 

The plate is thin, the compressive ability is poor, and it is easy to be damaged; the plate is thick, and the compressive ability is strong, and the plate is not easy to be damaged.

 

04. There may be lesions

 

If the board is too thin, it may cause the color of cement and other adhesives to reverse osmosis and affect the appearance. Too thin plates are more prone to lesions than thick plates: easy to deform, warp, and hollow.

 

05. Influence on service life

 

Because of its particularity, stone can be polished and refurbished after a period of use to make it shine again.

 

During the grinding and refurbishment process, the stone will be worn to a certain extent, and the stone that is too thin may have quality risks over time.
