How popular is "slate" currently? Ceramic people who enter the word "sand plate" in the search bar at the top of their WeChat will find:Many "ceramic people" have added "sand plate" to their WeChat names " label.
"Announcement" to the world: I am a "tile man" selling slates
However, because the product attributes can span the ceramic, stone and even plate industries, slate is more often sold and applied as a new home material. But returning to the role of ceramic materials themselves, do you still remember its role in the field of home decoration(Most of the rock slabs sold by traditional dealers are used for walls and floors) /span>?
According to feedback from many industry insiders, slate is still rarely used in the field of terminal home decoration because of its price Much higher than ceramic tiles, the requirements for paving technology on the walls and floors are also higher than ceramic tiles - the technical requirements here involve the specifications and thickness of the rock slabs.
So, what are the most popular slates used in home decoration?
01
#Terminal Market Feedback#
The most common size of rock slabs for home decoration
A Wuxi dealer of a certain slate brand told Zhongtaojun that the development of the Wuxi slate market is in full swing, paving walls and floors Specifications of rock slabs such as 900×1800㎜, 1200×2400㎜, 800×2600㎜ are relatively popular, and the thickness is about one centimeter.
A Hangzhou dealer of a listed ceramic brand said that our home decoration uses 600×1200㎜ and 600×800㎜ There are the most small (size) rock slabs, so I want to know about the manufacturer of small rock slabs.
A Suzhou dealer of a designer channel ceramic brand has its own processing plant. He said: The current terminal slate market is relatively chaotic. To be precise, many people are confused about large slabs and slates. They can't tell the difference. Some dealers sell large slabs as rock slabs because rock slabs are expensive and cannot be accepted by ordinary customers, and processing and installation is also a big problem. Last year I bought an AC five-axis waterjet machine, which can perform simple processing of rock slabs, but not complex ones, such as countertop processing (sink holes, bottom hanging flanging), etc. Therefore, Currently, rock slabs are mainly used as background walls in decoration, with thicknesses of 6㎜, 9㎜, and 12㎜.
……
From this point of view, the thickness of the rock slabs used to pave the walls and floors during decoration is still particular.

Good Ultra-thin Slate General Manager Song Rongshe said that 3mm slate has more advantages than other thickness slates (light, light-transmitting, anti-pollution) , sterile), suitable for secondary decoration and wall mounting, without damaging the floor and walls of the room, without bringing construction waste, and can be constructed directly. Our black and white gray series have the best sales, especially the 3600×1200㎜ rock slabs which basically meet the needs of all channels and provide design With unlimited imagination and design space, we can process any size according to different application requirements.
#6㎜ thick rock slab
More advantages than 3㎜ and 12㎜ slate walls
Lishi rock slab case
Lishi Slate Domestic Sales Director Xie Ying revealed that 6mm slate is more suitable for walls, and 12mm is also acceptable. However, the weight of 12mm is twice that of 6mm, and the construction cost and difficulty are higher; and the 3mm is too thin, and there is a certain risk of cracking after being attached. Our company's "Snowflake White Series" rock slabs with a specification of 3600×1600㎜ and a thickness of 6mm have the best sales.

#12mm thick rock slab
The wall blank error is 3~4mm
Laminam Slate
Li Penghua, regional manager of Laminam Slabs: Currently, 6mm slates are mostly used for walls, and 12mm is recommended for the ground. Because the fault tolerance rate is large. 6mm is often used for home decoration walls, but the suitability of the wood base (expansion coefficient and wall waterproofing) must be considered. The flatness of the wall surface and the viscosity of the structural adhesive must be considered for the blank; when using 6mm for floor paving, the flatness of the ground must be considered Due to the hollowing phenomenon caused by the drying of structural glue, the flatness error of the 12mm upper wall blank can only be between 3~4mm. Laminam currently has the largest sales volume of 1200x2600x6mm and 3240x1620x12mm rock slabs, mainly the "real stone series" (imitation natural stone texture) and "putty series" (plain color series).

To sum up, 6mm thick rock slabs can basically meet the needs of wall and floor paving. What points should be considered for rock slabs with a thickness greater than 6mm?

Key points for home decoration paving of rock slabs with a thickness greater than 6mm
#>2400mm rock slab construction is difficult
Meng Zhengqiang, General Manager of Mona Lisa Group’s Panel Business Department and General Manager of Guangdong Green House Construction Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. (referred to as Green House Construction Technology) , personally experienced and witnessed the process of Mona Lisa ceramic sheets/large slabs/rock slabs growing from scratch and from weak to strong. As the first "crab eater", he said: "Whether the thickness or thinness of the rock slab is suitable for wall paving is actually mainly a matter of construction, not what thickness is suitable. But the size < span style="color:#2980b9">It is difficult to construct rock slabs larger than 2400mm, whether thick or thin. Thinner slabs are lighter and easier to construct, while thicker slabs have better architectural decoration effects. . First , in terms of flooring, rock slabs of about 10.5mm or more than 8mm are more popular, and thin applications will A little less; secondly, use more thin ones on the walls; thirdly, thick ones are basically used for customized spaces (such as cabinets and countertops). ”
#Slab construction technical issues are the key< /strong>
It is reported that Shunhui Tiancheng Slate has architects who study prefabricated buildings and industrial designers who study home design. Why does the company need such elite talents? Shunhui&middo has been dealing with imported rock slabs for many yearst;Tiancheng SlabGeneral Manager Liang Rongqun gave an answer to the question raised by Zhong Tao Jun: "What is the thickness of the rock slab suitable for paving on the wall?": "From the perspective of building mechanics, regardless of the thickness of the slab, Whether the thickness is 3mm, 5.5mm, 12mm, or 20mm, it can all be installed on the wall. In fact, if you want to know the scientific and technical answer, don't ask the players, you can ask the referee, such as the design institute or the architectural design institute. Their answers should be more fair and scientific. Our company has its own insights on the construction application technology of rock slabs."
#Small sizes subdivided by rock slab size are indeed another outlet< /span>
In recent years, with its more personalized and youthful image and daring to play and dare to innovate, Inno Ceramics, a dark horse, has catered to the needs of young people in the Internet background and can be said to be a leader in the ceramic industry. At the same time, it took the lead in the trend of rock slabs, taking the lead in launching small-sized rock slabs, truly meeting the application needs of rock slabs in various channels with user thinking, and attracting attention both inside and outside the industry. Du Qiong, Director of the Ceramic Ceramics Market Planning & Online Marketing Department, said: "The 3mm thick slate has higher requirements for the smoothness of the wall and floor paving, while the 6mm thick slate is thin, light and It’s sturdy, so it’s more practical. We used to have thick slates, such as 11mm for flooring and 20mm for bay windows and cabinet countertops. Our company is small. All sizes of rock slabs are easy to sell, and different sizes are used for different home customization needs, so the rock slabs we produce are basically not enough to sell.
In addition to the rock slab brands mentioned above, there are many ceramic brands in the industry involved in the field of rock slabs. For example: Zhang Mijing, managing director of Shenghua Ceramics Company, revealed that the size of the rock slabs being promoted by Shenghua are 780X1200㎜, 1200X2600mm, and the thicknesses are 6mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 20mm; New Henglong Rock Slab· Luo Haojian, the person in charge of ceramic tiles, and Hua Jinming, general manager of the slate business unit, said that New Henglong is currently building a kiln, and the main specifications are 700X1300㎜, 800X1400㎜, 900X1800㎜, and 800X2000㎜, rock slabs with thicknesses of 6mm and 12mm...
If slate becomes broader and deeper in the field of home decoration, and truly gets involved in the field of whole-house customization, it will be truly popular.
If slate is cheaper than ordinary ceramic tiles, will you choose slate when decorating your home?
