Stone products have been widely used for home decoration in recent years. The unique stripes and the beautiful color of natural stone provide many creative elements for home designers. More and more people use natural stone products to decorate their house. But many people do not know how to choose stone products that fit and do not know how to do regular maintenance after they are installed. Actually, there are many things you need to know about natural stone selection, installation and regular maintenance.

How do you know that the stone is good or not?
The quality of the raw material and the manufacturing work decide the quality of the natural stone products. The stone is a natural material. The color of the raw material can not be changed even after they are sealed. Therefore, the color of the surface is a very important standard for judging the quality of a stone product. The surface of the stone products of good quality should be of uniform color and with in range variation of color. The inferior stone products can not cover this "defect" even after being repaired and polished again. The other aspect that influences the quality of stone products is manufacturing. If the stone is not manufactured correctly, the stone products can be warped, concave or have stains, dirt, color variation, crunching. That's why manufacturing is important for good stone products.

Choose the right stones
When using stone to decorate your home, do not use dark colored stone for floors and wall coverings, which will make your home feel dark. Use light colors and shiny stones for floors and coatings that give people a sense of warmth and peace, and also make your home look more spacious.

There are many types of stone in the market, such as pebble tile, marble, sandstone, mosaic, etc. 

Instalation and maintenance.
Because stone is a natural product, veins and color are different from one tile to another. Before installation, we must place all the tiles on the floor and then move them so that the veins and color in general look harmonious and smooth. When everything looks good, then we must mark the position of each tile. Keep in mind that do not write directly on the tiles in case the paint enters the stone. You can write it on a paper label and paste it into each tile.

Before installing the stone, we must mix water and cement and paste them on the floor, and then place the concrete as a base. We need to flatten the concrete before paving the stone. Once the stone is paved on the ground, we have to level the stone with a level gauge. This is very important because if it is not level it will cause many problems in the future. Tips: the thickness of the concrete should not exceed 20mm; Do not walk on the floor and leave it alone for 8 hours; Some stones have a grid in the back, we have to eliminate them before installation.

Once the installation is finished, it is better to cover a bit of white wax on the surface of the stone. Doing regular maintenance every two weeks is enough. We will provide detailed maintenance advice later or you can visit our website for more information.
