Sandstone mesa maintenance

If you want to keep the beautiful appearance, the luster of
Sandstone, texture and practical, so you have to take special care measures.
Many people think that the sandstone is hard stone, they don't need maintenance nursing care. That is not the case. Each stone have their own weakness, but the sandstone a weakness is porous. This porous structure makes easy penetration in water. Once the sandstone absorbed moisture will lead to change color and chemical coloring. These spots will become an integral part of sandstone. Therefore, the sandstone need special care.
Do not use any type of cleaner or clean technology. Improper use cleaner can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, in the use, test before you check the label on the cleaner. If you find some adverse reaction to immediately stop using it.
If sandstone mesa already sealed, can use a few simple cleaning method to protect it. Seal is very important protection steps. A seal sustainable for many years. In the use of Sandstone Tile  mesa should special care.
Cleared the spill. Do not let its long legacy in sandstone mesa. Clean sandstone mesa should choose when neutral cleaner or colorless, odorless and detergents. You can also choose to use mild dishwashing liquid.
Do not use acidic cleaner. Will this cleaning fluid corrosion sandstone polishing face.
Often flush sandstone mesa and grouting place. Don't put the cleaner in sandstone mesa. If no prior clean soft hair brush to brush off scraps can be used. If besmirch brush away, don't scrape. Can repeat clean.
An occasional deep clean. Deep clean also need to use neutral cleaner. You can buy designed for deep clean design cleaning tools. Soft brush remove stubborn available waste. Cleaner sprinkle don't immediately after them. Finally thoroughly flush mesa, the step is very important.
Pay attention to the following Suggestions:
A) Sandstone Slab cleaner must be neutral.
B) cleaners can't contain acid or citrus acid. These components can damage of the surface gloss of sandstone.
C) using a metal accessories vacuum cleaner carefully. These accessories can scratch sandstone surface.
D) don't try scrub powder or scrub cream, these products contain scratch sandstone abrasive surface.
E) avoid using the glass in the tray.
F) don't put the high temperature vessels placed into the sandstone directly on mesa. Best cushion pad.

China's main sandstone origin

China as the world's three largest sandstone origin, has one of the most abundant mineral resources, and because the sandstone China region is vast, complex geological environment, China sandstone varieties are many, but sichuan province has 100 DuoGe ore. Although China's sandstone varieties are many, but the Lord is concentrated in sichuan, yunnan and shandong, this is one of the three Chinese sandstone, and at the same time in hebei, henan, shanxi, shaanxi have, but fame is not high, small influence.
Now is the key introduction to China's three big sandstone origin:
A, sichuan Sandstone Slab
Sichuan sandstone belongs to, the fine particles of mud sandstone, the soft texture, very suitable for building decoration materials, especially as used for carving using stone. And because the sichuan geographical geological condition is more complex, so the sandstone varieties of sichuan is very much. The color of sichuan sandstone can be said to be the whole of China's most abundant, there are red, green, gray, white, black, purple, yellow, green, etc, very much. But because of its material relatively soft, and traffic inconvenience, mining way also is relatively backward, so the supply of basic sichuan sandstone article is unable to provide the board, more than 1 m of the big board. But if the small number of cases, the mining area may adopt disk saw cut way, turn a few supply, but due to the damage rate is higher, the price is expensive. But there is a kind of sandstone in sichuan so-called hardness comparable granite, some of the sandstone material to pledge harder can do fire processing.
Second, yunnan Sandstone Tile
Yunnan sandstone with sichuan sandstone mud sandstone, the same as belong to the grain is exquisite, the soft texture. But because of the geological formation geographical environment different, yunnan, sichuan sandstone in sandstone relative texture will be more beautiful, have their own characteristics of style, the color of yunnan sandstone is very rich, common have yellow wood grain sandstone, the landscape lines sandstone, the red, yellow, white sandstone sandstone and blue sandstone.
Because of the sandstone industry in yunnan started more early, mining processing technology is opposite taller, can supply more than 1 m of the big board, but because the soft texture of mud sandstone, the application will be limited in general specification board to give priority to.
Three, shandong sandstone
Shandong sandstone of sea sandstone, the structure grain is thick, hardness is bigger, but is fragile. Shandong sandstone basic can cut into 1.2 m above the big board, some even being used as a panel, many can make 1 cm sheet. Because of its hardness is enough, so to almost all of the surface processing. Shandong sandstone color relatively less, basically have red, yellow, green, purple, brown, white. But shandong sandstone basic is take the grain, even the so-called white sandstone and violet arenaceous rock are not all pure color, white sandstone with dark grain, violet arenaceous bald rock.
Hebei henan sandstone and shandong sandstone close to the sea, also of sandstone, coarse particles, hardness, but color less, with wood grain sandstone primarily.

Sandstone and marble, granite comparison

Matt stone is a type of Sandstone, no light reflection caused by the pollution, but also a natural anti-skid material. Is a smooth Granite Marble stone, it must be smooth to show their decorative effect, but also because of its smooth will have varying degrees of light reflection caused by light pollution, this phenomenon in a number of large phase the city is already apparent.
    Sandstone is the zero-radioactive stone, there is no harm to the human body, suitable for large area applications. Marble and granite there are trace amounts of radioactive, long life in which there will be subtle damage to the human body, which has already had cases.
    From the decorative style, the sandstone to create a warm style, seems simple and elegant, warm and luxurious atmosphere beneath. Marble and granite is generally a cool color décor.
    In durability, the sandstone can definitely match the marble and granite. It will not be weathered, not discoloration. One hundred years ago, many built with sandstone building still has style, charm remain. Also fully illustrates this point.
Attachment:
    sandstone sandstone:: by the Quartz Stone particles (sand) to form stable structure was usually light brown or red, mainly silicon, calcium, clay and iron oxide.
    Quartz, feldspar and other detrital component accounted for more than 50% sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is the source rock by weathering, erosion, accumulation of transportation in the basin formation. Rock debris and interstitial material by the two parts. Debris than quartz, feldspar, but also have a muscovite, heavy minerals, and other debris. Interstitial material, including cement and debris from the base of two-component complex. Common cements are silica and carbonate cementation quality; complex matrix composed mainly refers to the deposition of particles and debris while finer material of clay or silt. Interstitial material reflecting the composition and structure of the tectonic setting of sandstone geological formation and physical and chemical conditions. Sandstone can be divided according to their sedimentary environment: quartz sandstone, arkose and lithic sandstone three categories. Sand and sandstone oil, gas and water main reservoir. Sand and sandstone can be used as abrasives, glass materials and building materials. Certain occurrence of sand and sandstone rich in alluvial gold, zircon, diamond, ilmenite, rutile sands.
    1, the sandstone is a sedimentary rock by rock particles deposited on the river bed through water erosion, and by the accumulation of thousands of years from becoming strong. Later, because the earth crust movement, and the formation of today's mines.
    2, the main components: A. more than 52% quartz content; B. clay 15%; C. 18% goethite; D. more than 10% of other substances.
    3, sandstone is the most widely used as a building stone. Hundreds of years ago, decorated with sandstone buildings still charming, as Notre Dame, the Louvre, the British Royal Palace, the U.S. Congress, Harvard University, sandstone the noble and elegant temperament and hard texture of the achievements of its architectural history one after another wonderful world. In recent years, as a natural sandstone building material, is to follow fashion and nature are respected architect, widely used in commercial and home decor on. At present exploitation of the world have been Australian sandstone, Indian sandstone, sandstone Spain China sandstone. One color, pattern welcomed by most architects are Australian sandstone. Australian Sandstone is a kind of eco-friendly stone, and its products have no pollution, no radiation, no reflectors, no morals, no color, heat, insulation, anti-slip characteristics.
    4 Application: a sandstone sculpture in the round, relief paintings, sculpture flower plates, art flower pot, fountain sculpture, style fireplace, Roman column, door and window sets, lines, frames, lamps, puzzles, corbel, home accessories, environmental sculpture; architectural detail sculpture, garden sculpture, campus sculpture, abstract sculpture, famous sculpture, European components, sandstone plates, hollow columns, hollow flower board, modeling rockery, landscape sculpture (decorative sculpture, water sculpture) and so on. All products can be in accordance with the requirements of any coloring, painting, grinding darkness, the paste; and can work through the technical treatment to render the surface rough, delicate, cracks, gaps and other real natural stone effect. The main production color yellow sandstone, white sandstone, red sandstone. Handmade, wearable, durable, use beautiful. Product is completely synthetic inorganic materials, is the green environmental protection product.
    5, features: sandstone, noise, moisture absorption, anti-damage, no outdoor weathering, water does not dissolve, no moss, and easy cleaning.

The purpose of building sandstone

Previously, the Sandstone in building USES very arduous, it is because of the quarry, cutting machines and processing machinery equipment is relatively backward. In recent years, these conditions improved, gradually to the highest level of professional knowledge, according to the requirements of the customers on the color to the customers with high quality products.
Sandstone is widely used. Some people even think people can think of, it can be used to ".
Use examples
The vase, bowl, and the vessels, and the table, the light bulb, the ashtray, flower POTS, chair, panels, furniture, counter, bench, heater, signs, clock and oil tank, portable lamps, spray pool, pillars, baths, ceramic tile, oven, arch, pot, the waterfall, paintings, baluster, monuments, and false face, the markers, foundation, hook, cap, the garden wall, curtain wall, a decoration materials carving and other traditional large-scale stone fine machining.
General building stone material choice will ultimately comes down to personal like appearance, tonal, stone material performance, convenient and reasonable expenses. However, in many cases, that means that the correct use of performance method, maintenance and choose appropriate application of law and the thickness.
In the past many years, many designers and engineers started in the room inside and outside the use of natural Sandstone Tile.
Australia ASI sandstone company in design, material selection (including preparation, each work all management, fully discuss) to process a lot and meticulous work, accumulated rich experience, and provide the following use of reference.
Ceramic tile and curtain wall the scope of the following:
Size range from 15 mm (5/8 inches) to 500 mm (20 inches) square, recommended thickness of 20 mm (3/4 inch), 15 mm of thickness of stone. But adornment skirt building is limited to only in skilled workers (limited to indoor use) construction use, because stone material is too thin part when construction will cause problems. For indoor and light load (no large-scale machinery with commercial use), but no matter what kind of situation, when used in construction must be very skilled technology. We recommend use wet or adhesive complete construction. Size more stone material can only be used for curtain wall.
If the construction method for 20 mm thickness, correct (3/4 inch) can be used in indoor, in stone material also can be used for personnel with are more frequent place. If in the outdoor cement in structure, must and ceramic tile adhesive, sand and cement sticky materials mixed construction subsidies. Outside, if the size of more than 400 mm (16 inches) of stone material adhesion is not enough, in the days when the hot bending phenomenon. In the interior, no more than 100 mm (11 square feet) of the size of the stone material can be used as a floor materials or curtain wall materials.
30 mm (1 1/4 inch) of stone material thickness and can be used for indoor and outdoor, also the most appropriate, also can be used for traffic flow bigger place. If as a motor lane must in the cement structure construction. The most suitable for the personnel with indoor dense casinos or hotel (construction need not too delicate). The thickness can be used for furniture of roof, also can be used for more than one square meters of panels. If it is not more than 500 mm stone material, use the swimming pool special adhesive, in hot weather will not happen skewed.
40 mm (1 1/2 inches) thick Sandstone Slab can be used as inner decoration material, also can be used for building outside outfit, don't hang weight (signs) of the place. Also can be laid any road. Thin stone material available type, and the panel thickness can be used frame type. Also can be used as mentioned thin of stone material substitute.
50 mm (2 inches) thick stone material can be used in motor lane, swimming pool, if it was in the gravel on can also be used to the pavement. As the curtain wall material when using, when construction can need not adhesive, with panel method; The thickness of the minimum height is a layer above building (construction method for inlaying). More than 1 m outside outfit building materials suggest using a frame structure construction.
A thinner in 75 mm (3 inches) of stone material can be used for can withstand the pressure of the curtain wall, precise spread on the ground directly after the motor lane and most especially curtain wall materials.
100 mm (4 inches) thick stone material can be used for can bear heavy pressure on the walls or the hollow hollow wall. Like the same stack bricks.
According to size, pillars, the furniture and so on have all kinds of method. Can use the whole piece of sandstone block made pillars; Or will center hollow out form a hollow pillars to reduce weight,; Can also be divided into an a little piece of again after the assembly into pillars.
Surface processing and thickness problems with specifications, usually use method, use occasions (indoor, outdoor, wall act the role of material, etc.) of different, but to the professional company different detailed understanding of this information and the matters needing attention.
 

Conservation of sandstone countertops: a fatal weakness of porous sandstone

If you want to keep the beautiful Sandstone appearance, gloss, texture and practicality, then you should take special care measures.
    Many people think that sandstone is a hard stone, and they do not require maintenance care. Not so. Each stone has its own weaknesses, and a weak sandstone is porous. This porous structure allows water to penetrate easily. Once the sand has absorbed moisture will cause discoloration and chemical staining. These spots will become an integral part of the sandstone. Therefore, the sandstone in need of special care.
    Do not use detergents or any type of clean technology. Improper use of cleaning agents can cause serious consequences. Thus, in use, before the test to check the label on the cleaning agent. If you find some of the adverse reaction to stop using it immediately.
    If the sand table is sealed, can take some simple cleaning methods to protect it. Sealing is very important to protect the steps. A seal sustainable for many years. When using the sand table in need of special care.
    Timely removal of spills. Do not let a long time left on the sand surface. Clean sandstone countertops to choose when the colorless, odorless, neutral detergent or detergent. You can also choose to use mild dishwashing liquid.
    Do not use acidic cleaners. The detergent will corrode the sandstone polished surface.
    Regular washing and filling of sandstone at the table. Do not put detergent into the sandstone surface. If you do not cleared in advance, use a soft brush brush residue. If stains can not afford to brush, do not scratch. Repeated cleaning.
    Occasional deep cleaning. Deep cleaning also need to use a mild detergent. You can buy specially designed for the deep cleaning cleaning tools. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn residue. Sprinkle immediately after the cleaning agents do not wipe. Finally, thoroughly rinse the table, this step is very important.
    Note the following recommendations:
    a) sandstone cleaning agents must be neutral.
    b) not contain acid detergent or citrus acid. These elements can damage the surface gloss of sandstone.
    c) Use a vacuum cleaner with a metal attachment to be careful when. These attachments may scratch the surface of sandstone.
    d) Do not try to scrub scouring powder, or cream, these products contain abrasives will scratch the surface of sandstone.
    e) Avoid the use of trays in the glass.
    f) Do not place hot containers directly into the sandstone surface. Best mat mat.
