Artificial Stone Floor

Artificial stone floor construction specifications - hard, concrete floor tiling

I. Scope
The construction specifications for Billow stone for hard surface or smooth, do not need to mortar the concrete floor of the paving.
Second, the material
1, main material: Billow, green stone (recommended plate thickness over 16mm, depending on the specific size)
Artificial stone paving with cement-based binder
2, DPM: artificial stone special sealant
Gypsum board or cardboard
Cross segment gasket (control joint width)

Third, the use of tools
Mixing bucket, electric mixer (to ensure uniform mixing of the case you can use other tools), putty knives, rubber hammer, serrated trowel, spirit level and so on.

Fourth, the pre-construction precautions
1, the base surface should be strong and smooth, clean, no oil, no concrete release agents and other debris.
2, the construction area should be no chemical residues on the surface.
3, the ground should be smooth, eliminate hollowing, loose base surface.
4, must use a clean wet sponge or wet rag wipe the back of the floating gray stone, to hand touch no floating dust.
5, detailed instructions read the binder, using a dedicated mixer to mix the binder (non-uniform mixing of the binder itself ill-structured, the case load may crack and damage to the upper stone).

Fifth, installation and construction
1, marked on the ground level of the baseline.
2, the ground level above the baseline of the part should be removed, much lower than the baseline level of some backing material should be suitable to identify the level of layers.
3, if the hard surface dry, floating dust, paving the role of 1 hour before the construction, sprinkler cleaning and paving the ground was wet but not when there is water.
4, the artificial stone dedicated to the binder for use by mixing the right amount of water evenly, place the spare.
5, trowel generally 6 × 6 mm, 8 × 8mm, 10 × 10mm, 12 × 12mm and other size, large teeth using adhesive trowel more. If flatness is not high enough, or brick size, the need to use more than 8 × 8mm tooth trowel.
6, Billow environmental clean-up floating back gray stone, the stone will be applied in the binder slurry bonding surface, and with serrated trowel at a 45 ° angle carding strip slurry, and presented a full and uninterrupted state.
7, the plate attached to the basement, with stone pavement special rubber hammer to beat the average stone can completely seal with adhesive, and at the same level with the adjacent panels of the correct joints. Stone between the pads to stay with professional cross-segment joints, the width 1.5 ~ 3.0mm, (if one or more pieces of slate and other stone is not in the same level, repeat steps 6 and 7). Large area of pavement, the aspect to be set every 5 m 3 ~ 8 mm expansion joints.
8, Billow green stone laying is complete, close sewing operation as of late, close to 3 days before being sewn, in order to facilitate evaporation. Artificial stone filling special sealant should be used to close the gap after the overflow of the sealant with a damp cloth to wipe clean (a large area of land should be set at the expansion joints at the appropriate intervals to prevent the ground and the structure of the expansion, contraction leading to protruding or broken stone).

Six, maintenance
1, the cold period of construction, if freezing or hardening bonding materials, bad place, should be taken to suspend operations or insulation measures.
2, If the stone works are completed, be sure to plaster on the stone surface of the mat board, wood or cardboard to avoid stone damage.
3, ground stone paving installed three days before it can have people move around.
4, Engineering prior to use, according to the surface brightness, smoothness conditions, you can ask professionals notches, crystal conservation treatment.
