Slab is a super large specification new type of ceramic material made from natural raw materials through special processes, pressed with a press of over 40000 tons, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at high temperatures above 1200 ℃. It can withstand cutting, drilling, polishing and other processing processes.
Slabs are mainly used in the field of home and kitchen panels. Slab home furnishings have the characteristics of large size, strong plasticity, diverse colors, high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, anti penetration, acid and alkali resistance, zero formaldehyde, environmental protection and health.
It must be pointed out that ceramic large plates ≠ slab, and enterprises that can produce large plates may not necessarily be able to produce slab. Compared to ceramic large plates, slab can be drilled, polished, and more convenient to cut, making them suitable for various shapes. Although ceramic large plates have similar shapes to slab, there are certain differences in material characteristics and functions.
Eight dominant characteristics of slab
A, ultra large size, ultra-light wight, ultra-thin
The special technology of slabs can be used to produce ultra large specifications with extremely thin thickness, possessing unprecedented physical and mechanical properties in the construction industry.
B. Fire resistance and high temperature resistance
The biggest characteristic of A1 grade fire-resistant slab when exposed to open flames is that they do not undergo any physical changes (no shrinkage, no rupture, no discoloration) and do not emit any gas or odor, which is also a major tool for testing rock panels;
C. Scratch resistant and wear-resistant
The slab generated by high temperature and high pressure has a Mohs hardness of 6-7 levels, and its scratch resistant and wear-resistant surface can be directly tested for scratches with a steel knife. Even if sparks splash, the slab cannot be damaged at all;
D. Impact resistance
The impact resistance of 6MM slab is equivalent to that of 35MM granite, which is twice higher than the strength of traditional ceramic tiles.
E. Zero penetration and extremely stain resistant
The permeability rate of ten thousand parts is a new indicator in the field of artificial building materials. While stains cannot penetrate, they do not provide space for bacteria to grow, resulting in a 5-level stain resistance and antibacterial effect. Belotti Rock Plate has NSF (food grade surface certification);
F. Ultra corrosion resistance
Compared to traditional materials that require U-level (UA, UB, UC daily detergent corrosion resistance testing), slabs not only pass UL (ULA, ULB, ULC light concentration acid-base) level testing, but also obtain UHA (UHA, UHB, UHC heavy concentration acid-base) testing. The diamond wolf in the building materials industry is not just a name for itself;
G. Non toxic and non radiative
Pure natural material selection, 100% recyclable, non-toxic and radiation free, while fully considering the needs of human sustainable development. The slab also has multiple certifications such as GREENGUARD (Green Guardian Gold, Indoor Air Quality Certification) and LEED (Green Building);
H. Versatile applications
Based on the large, light, thin, and various thicknesses and superior physical properties of slabs, they can be applied to various types of indoor and outdoor flat spaces: whether it is outdoor spaces exposed to sunlight and rain (walls and floors) or indoor spaces with extremely high requirements for design and texture (walls and floors); Whether it is kitchen countertops or bathroom spaces with extremely strict health and safety requirements, or commercial public spaces that require durability for frequent use; Slabs are almost omnipotent, meeting high standard application requirements beyond imagination.
1. Cabinet space
Featuring ultra large size, ultra-thin, and ultra-light weight, combined with its outstanding physics.
Performance: A1 level fire resistance, zero water absorption, super scratch resistance, strong impact resistance, UHA high acid and alkali resistance, food grade surface, etc. make it an indispensable decorative surface material.
The application materials of and can be widely used in countertops and cabinets of kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and door.
The countertop is mainly made of 6mm and 12mm thick boards, and the cabinet door is mainly made of
3MM board.
2. Bathroom space
The quality of antibacterial and antibacterial properties enters the bathroom space, making the bathroom a quality of life. The true measurement table showcases excellent taste and exquisite lifestyle attitude. The excellent antibacterial, deformation resistant, and corrosion resistant properties of the slab itself are internationally recognized for their anti slip properties. DN51130 and DIN51097 double detection guarantee ensure that the slab is in the bathroom space. Fearless and invincible. Whether it's walls, floors, sinks, or baths cabinets can be used in all directions. The countertop is mainly made of 6MM and 12MM thick slab, which can be integrated basin, mainly used on the wall with a size of 3mm or 6mm; Cabinet door master use a 3mm slab.
3. Home applications
Home should be healthy, furniture should be environmentally friendly, natural and environmentally friendly materials should be selected, conform to ergonomic structure, stable and durable, rounded corner protection can avoid daily use bumps, and a grand and beautiful design. Although slabs are commonly used in architecture and space decoration, their application in furniture often brings a different feeling. The countertop can be directly edged with a 12mm thick slab or with a hanging edge. 3MM and 6MM thick slabs are mainly used for composite glass technology and aluminum-plastic panels for decoration. The chassis has iron, wood, and stainless steel gold-plating processes.
4. Commercial space
Slab is a high-density sintered stone material that is generated at a high temperature of 1280 ° C. The forming pressure needs to reach up to 40000 tons, and the Mohs hardness reaches level 7. Its scratch and wear resistance are extremely superior, combined with rich and delicate stone textures, making it durable and long-lasting. At the same time, due to its large size and the ability to achieve multiple plate patterns, slabs are suitable for continuous use in larger spaces and areas of fixtures. The countertop is mainly made of 12mm, and the cabinet door is mainly made of 3mm sheet metal. Wall pasting mainly uses 3mm and 6mm, while floor pasting mainly uses 6mm.
5. Indoor space
As the most frequently used place in daily life, wear resistance is the primary factor for indoor floors! Otherwise, facing a mottled and imprinted situation would involve repairing or refurbishing, which would be a costly project.
The slab has a 5-level stain resistance performance, allowing it to face various small accidents in life with ease. Even mischievous children can add another artistic skill to the wall and easily wipe it off. Safety and pollution resistance are the key to giving him the freedom to explore freely.
The wall is mainly paved with 3mm and 6mm slabs, or hung dry with 12mm slabs; The ground is mainly made of slabs with a thickness of over 6mm.
6. Outdoor space
Due to the special nature of exterior wall materials, not only do they require iconic appearance conditions, but more importantly, they must have performance that is suitable for climate change, resisting gusts, precipitation, and sun exposure in the external environment. The color will not fade due to sunlight or extreme temperatures, and will not be damaged by low temperatures. Slabs have always been an excellent choice for exterior wall applications due to their excellent physical properties. Based on the advantage of large single panel specifications, they have greater creative flexibility in exterior wall applications compared to surface materials such as marble, granite, and ceramic tiles.
The wall is mainly paved with 3mm and 6mm tiles, or 12mm dry hanging, and the ground is mainly
If using boards with a thickness of 6mm or more.
7. Stairs
In duplex, villa, attic and other home spaces, stairs are the link connecting the upper and lower floors. The intricately designed staircase is like an interlude or a smooth turning point, making the transition of the space natural and elegant.
The use of slabs in stairs will make the overall pattern more natural, complementing the walls and floors, and giving a more sophisticated feel.
The compressive and impact resistance of rock slabs makes them more durable when used as stairs.
