Introduction to Electroplated Stone
What is Electroplated Stone?
Electroplated stone is a material that uses an electrolytic process to deposit a layer of metal coating on the surface of natural stone. This process enhances the stone's luster and wear resistance while giving it a modern and metallic appearance.
Brief on Electroplating Process
Electroplating is an electrochemical process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to a material's surface. It serves to prevent oxidation, improve wear resistance, and enhance conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.
Features of Electroplated Stone
Appearance: Electroplated stone has a unique volcanic rock-like texture with metallic feel.
Colors: Available in various colors including silver, black, gold, green, red, blue, purple, etc.
Size: The common size available is 50*300*10mm.
Laying Method: Can be laid with ceramic tile adhesive or structural adhesive, and can be used with cross card positioning devices for neater laying.
Joint Width: Small bricks are recommended to be laid with a 2-3mm gap, and large bricks with a 3-5mm gap.
Laying Patterns: Include plain laying, herringbone laying, and fishbone laying.
Price: The market price averages between 600 to 800 USD/square meter, but it can vary significantly due to multiple factors.
Application of Electroplated Stone
Electroplated stone, designed with a洞stone substrate, is highly polished to give a metallic luster, increase strength, and improve wear resistance and glossiness. With its high texture and flexibility in matching combinations, it has become the preferred material for high-end places and CBD
