Granite is beautiful, durable, and very hard. In ancient times, it would be more popular than marble, if it had easy mining, processing equipment and technology.
Granite, which often contains other minerals, such as amphibole and mica, presents a variety of colors, including brown, green, red, and common black. Because its crystallization process is very slow, its crystals are interwoven with each other as magic cube, so it is very hard, durable, no debris, and it is not easy to scratch, and it is not afraid of high temperature. No color fading, as long as simple maintenance, will not fade or growing darker. It was almost unpolluted, with high gloss on the surface, the heavies the glossier, for example, Shanxi Black granite is very heavy, it has the biggest densit among granites, after simple polishing, it will come a very glossy surface which you can use as a mirror.
The steel wire sawing method is generally used for the mining of granite. Recently, the new technology, such as dense drainage and flame injection, has been widely used. Flame spray method of mining stone cutting neat, no injury, high production efficiency. Pick stones with coarse whole called blocks, followed by artificial drilling or sawing machine to carve, prepared bulk, plates with required size; milling machine or lathe machining, a cylindrical or arc shape; the artificial cut coarse and fine grains of rock drilling, grinding, or by machine the surface polishing, crystal clear.
Granite does not pollute the environment. Synthetic materials are often accompanied by bad or even toxic by-products, which need to be replaced several times during the construction period. Granite does not need to be replaced because it is very durable.
In addition, it can be made into a variety of surface polishing, polishing, grinding, sandblasting, water treatment and fire. Since granite is often contained in radioactive materials, it is necessary to measure the level of radiation when using granite and reconfirm its use.
Natural granite tiles processing methods
Axed slab(Chiselled)
The stone surface is processed by hand chopped axe, with rough surface and regular stripes. surface rough texture, used for skidding ground, steps, base and so on.
Laned slab
Mechanical stone surface planing, smooth surface, a parallel plane cutting lines, and for similar purposes but cutting ax sheet, surface texture and delicate.
Coarse grind plate
The stone surface after coarse grinding, smooth matte, mainly used in soft light wall, cylinder, and a base level.
Polished sheet
The surface of stone is finely polished and polished, and its surface is smooth and bright. The crystal structure and texture of granite are clear and colorful. It is used for walls, floors and cylinders that need high gloss and smooth surface.
