stone Flaming 

Flaming stone is a method of polishing the surface of natural stones to increase the stone’s resistance against external factors, which also makes the stone more beautiful.

Filming stone is one of the best ways to create texture on stone.

This method is used to remove the layers on the surface of the stone and reveal the new beauty that is hidden under it.

It is interesting to know that in the past, granite stones were rarely used in outdoor environments because when this stone was exposed to moisture and water, it became very slippery and dangerous. But today, by using stone film, the slipperiness of the stone surface can be reduced and it can be used in outdoor environments as well.

This technique is mostly done manually.

To do this, an air cutting device is used in such a way that the device is first irradiated to the surface of the granite stone with a certain distance and special grade and held until the stone shell is separated; As the shells are thrown around during separation, the handle of the air cutter is transferred to other parts of the rock. Calculating the separation and transfer time must be done with full accuracy and requires experience and expertise, because if too much heat is applied to the stone or if the flame is kept on the stone for a longer time, it is possible to break it.

Observance of safety tips by the person doing filming is very important.

A person must use special gloves, clothes and hats in all stages of execution because the shells separated from the stone contain molten iron and metal minerals and cause severe burns if they come into contact with the body.

In the process of filming, all or part of the stone may be exposed to heat. Usually, in the case of granite stairs, the operation is carried out on a part of the stone that has already been identified and marked.

From zero to one hundred, making a granite film

1. Stone cutting after its extraction process, After extracting granite rock masses from mines and transforming them into coupes that can be transported by trolley, granite stones are cut in quarries or stone factories by devices that may be top or slab (multiwire) with diamond blades. , they are cut and processed in the form of stone sheets. In the following, according to the request and needs of the consumer, they are processed in various finishes, one of which can be done is film or fire eating.
2. Investigating the resistance and readiness of stone against heat and flame, Before starting the stone flaming process, it is necessary to check the stone carefully to find out whether this stone is suitable for fire eating or not and how it reacts to the high heat of the flame. Since filming requires a lot of durability and strength, it cannot be applied to all stones, and only granite and limited types of marble and limestone can withstand this process.
3. Carrying out the operation of filming the stone After checking the stone’s resistance to heat and flame, the steps of flaming the stone (fire eating by applying an oxygen-stalline or oxygen-propane flame on the top surface of the stone) are performed; Also, the right angle for applying the flame is 45 degrees and the flame temperature should be around 3500 degrees Celsius. As described at the beginning of this article, this technique is basically done manually, and to do it, an air cutting machine is used; In this way, at first, this device is irradiated to the top surface of the granite stone with a certain distance at a certain degree, and it continues until the shell of the stone is separated. Next, if the upper shells are thrown around during separation, the handle of the air cutter is moved to other parts of the rock. Calculating the time of separation of the shell and transfer to other parts must be done accurately, which requires a lot of skill, experience and expertise; Because if too much heat is applied to the stone or if the flame is kept on the stone for a longer period of time, there will be a possibility of damage and breaking of the flamed granite stone.
4. Placing the flamed stone in the appropriate sort, After the granite stones are flaked, we must put the flaked stones in the appropriate sorts. Because a correct and principled sorting can show the quality and elegance of stone cutting and help customers to purchase their stone more easily.

Application of flamed granite stones

As you have realized up to this part of the content that flaming stone has many advantages, we need to tell you about flaming granite stones because of their features to reduce the slippage of the floor stone in entrances, parking lots and spaces. It is used with high humidity and slipperiness, and in addition, it is also used in exterior and military environments of buildings, entrances and exits.
