Regarding how to use flexible stone, since this material is relatively special and has a variety of applications, here are some general guidelines and suggestions:
1. Understand the characteristics of flexible stone
Flexibility: Flexible stone has the characteristics of being bendable and deformable, which allows it to play a role in some situations where traditional stone is difficult to apply.
Lightweight: Compared with traditional stone, flexible stone is lighter and easier to carry and install.
Durability: Although flexible stone is thin and light, it is still quite durable and can withstand a certain degree of wear and impact.
2. Choose the right application scenario
Indoor decoration: Flexible stone can be used as wall decoration, background wall, ceiling, etc., adding natural beauty to the interior space.
Outdoor application: Flexible stone is also a good choice in occasions such as exterior wall decoration and landscape design that require light weight and certain flexibility.
Special environment: In earthquake-prone areas or buildings that require certain earthquake resistance, the flexibility of flexible stone may help reduce earthquake damage to the building.
3. Correct installation method
Preparation: Make sure the installation surface is flat, clean, and free of oil and impurities. As needed, you can apply an appropriate amount of adhesive or glue on the installation surface.
Laying and fixing: Lay the flexible stone on the installation surface according to the predetermined pattern and order, and fix it with special fixings or glue. Pay attention to keeping the gaps between the stones uniform.
Post-processing: After the stone is installed, perform post-processing such as caulking, grinding and cleaning as needed. Ensure that the stone surface is flat, smooth and beautiful.
4. Maintenance and care
Regular cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in clean water or neutral detergent to wipe the stone surface to remove dust and stains.
Avoid heavy pressure and scratching: Try to avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the flexible stone to avoid damage to the stone. Pay attention to the ambient humidity: Keep the indoor ambient humidity moderate to avoid cracking or deformation of the stone due to excessive dryness or moisture.
5. Precautions
When using flexible stone, be sure to follow the relevant requirements and suggestions in the product manual and installation guide.
If you need to carry out large-scale or complex design installation, it is recommended to consult a professional designer and construction team to ensure the quality and effect of the construction.
It should be noted that since the specific types, specifications and performances of flexible stone may vary depending on the manufacturer and process technology, it is necessary to adjust and adapt according to actual conditions during specific use.
