Installation of stone slabs

Installing stone slabs requires more expertise and skill. In addition to the wet method (grout), the dry method is also widely used to install stone slabs. To install some slab stones such as marble, which have the property of light transmission, and to back light them, the stone must be installed at a distance from the wall so that there is enough space for lighting behind the stone, the dry installation method is used. to be In general, this method is used when there is a need to create a frame or a distance from the wall or floor due to the design.

For the installation of slab stones that can be used as book match and form match, the stones must be placed together and installed according to the special map and labels prepared during production.

Slab installation machine

As mentioned, the installation of slabs requires high precision and skill due to their large dimensions and heavy weight, for this purpose, technology has come to the aid of humans. Devices such as electric mini crane and vacuum lifter remove large slabs, take them to the desired installation location and install the stone slowly.

After installing the stone with one of the mentioned methods, the last step of the installation is sanding the stone, which is done in several steps.

stone grinding

Usually, after the installation of the floor stone, there will be unevenness and a slight difference in height, which is called a nail clipper, so the flooring operation is done in order to fix the lowness and heights of the stone and increase the shine of the stone. Basic and high-quality flooring will result in a polished, mirror-like and uniform surface.

Grinding stone also requires a lot of expertise and experience because the type of flooring and the work steps also depend on the type of stone. For example, the steps and method of granite stone flooring are different from the steps of doing this work for marble stone. Even different types of marble stones are polished in different ways, and the type of polish that brings shine to one stone may make it dull and dull for another stone. However, it can be said that in general, flooring includes the following steps, which may vary according to the type of stone:

1. Fixing the lowness and height of the stone with a rough bite (which is also called roughness)
2. making the stone surface even more
3. Removing excess resin and putty
4. Flooring with 200 bits for stone preparation and sub polishing
5. 5-Using a piece of lacquer to remove all the remaining scratches from the previous subs
6. Grinding using a bit and softer sandpaper
7. Smooth sanding, which is the last stage of sanding that is performed after the completion of construction works. In fact, it is one of the last stages of construction work.

It should be noted that after the execution of each step, the work surface should be completely dry and the next step should be executed. Also, during paving, people should be prevented from walking on the stone; Because at this stage, pollution and dirt can easily penetrate into the stone and removing the created stains can be very expensive and irreparable.

cost of stone installation

There is no set and approved price for stone installation, and the final fee is determined based on the dimensions, type of stone, as well as materials and installation method. Also, one of the influencing factors in determining the installation cost is the location of the stone installation, so that the cost of installing floor stone is different from wall stone or ceiling stone installation.
