What Should Be Paid Attention To When Processing Rock Slabs

Do you know what a rock slab is? In fact, rock slabs have only become popular in recent years. Ordinary people may think that rock slabs are a ceramic tile, but in reality, rock slabs are large slabs. It can be said that rock slabs are also a relatively innovative development direction in the stone industry at present. So what is rock slab and what should be paid attention to in rock slab processing? Let's take a look together now!
Firstly, we need to understand what a rock slab is. The slate is a bit like marble, but it also looks like ceramic tiles. But in fact, the rock slab is made of natural stone and inorganic clay through special techniques, and the texture of the rock slab is mostly imitated from natural stone. So the rock slab looks like ceramic tiles at a close distance and natural stone at a distance, so for friends who are not familiar with rock slabs, they may mistake it. In addition, due to the mineral origin of granite, both the strength and solidity of the rock slab are strong, and the addition of glass and quartz provides stability for the rock slab. Natural oxidation also provides personalized colors for the rock slab.
So what do we need to know about slate processing? If you want to make the rock slab look good, you need to plan it beforehand! The first step is to measure and draw a positioning line at the hole position of the rock plate to ensure that the rock plate is under stress. Generally speaking, there must always be a distance of at least 5cm from the hole to the edge of the rock slab, and the rounded radius of the hole should be at least 3mm.
Another thing is cutting. When cutting rock slabs, it should be ensured that the bottom of the slab is completely located on a flat operating platform, and the slab is flat and not tilted. It is generally recommended to use a saw blade with a thickness of 1.5mm higher than the rock slab, and it is recommended to cut a width of 3cm on each side of the slab to clean the edges of the slab and reduce the tension generated during cutting (priority should be given to cutting the long edge before cutting the short edge). This step can be used as the size for determining the length and width of the panel.
The above is some basic knowledge about rock panels. In fact, rock panels have a wide range of applications, such as cabinet panels, background walls, furniture, bathrooms, etc. Their texture is also beautiful. In addition, rock panels are harder and have stronger load-bearing capacity than ordinary materials, making them very popular in recent years.
