There is a large selection of options for decorating residential premises by artificial stone. The artificial stone brick is dense and light material has a relatively low price, working with it just. The finish with a stone brings the atmosphere of freedom, from which it is breathtaking, because the walls can be made similar to steep cliffs or give them a warm tone of the natural grotto. It is easy to understand this atmosphere to those who were in the mountains at least once. If you put your palm on the heated stone, you remember this feeling forever and then you feel that this is not enough, there is not enough warm stone. Natural stone is a very expensive material, and artificial stone can afford to use for interior decoration. With artificial stone, you can finish the floor and walls, it is completely undesirable to finish the ceiling, since the stone can fall off, especially if the glue turns out to be poor -quality. Artificial stone tiles look most organically on the walls. You can make the cladding with an artificial stone of the stairs, this will give a special flavor. It is best to lay out the floors with artificial stone in the kitchen or terrace, for this you need tiles that have perfectly even faces and smooth surface. It is difficult to walk on the textured stone, and it will not be very convenient to wash such floors. In artificial form, marble, granite, basalt, quartz are embodied in tiles. You can find an imitation of turquoise or malachite, even agate can be made to order.
In artificial form, you can also embody the texture of the tree, which gives great opportunities for the interior decoration. Tiles of artificial stone are angular and flat. Plant tiles are measured in square meters, and corner – In the linear meters. You need to know the area of the walls, take into account the features of these two types of tiles, and you can go to purchase an artificial stone. Walls for decoration with artificial stone are prepared as well as for any decoration. These works are thoroughly cleaning the surface, primer with an adhesive composition (diluted), the same composition is also used for facing. You can not make a primer, but use a metal mesh that has 5 mm cells to cover the wall. The walls are treated with areas (approximately two meters of square). Plant tiles are laid on the wall with a seamless method, it begins to glue from the skirting board, from the bottom up. Each lower row becomes a support for the next row. If you make a cladding with embroidery of the seams, artificial stone is laid down from top to bottom, previously the walls are divided into stripes so that the rows are located straight. Between the rows leave one centimeter for the seam. The tiles are masoned, making a slight horizontal offset and vertically each tile in relation to others so that the seams do not turn out too long. Smooth rows of cladding collapse faster. A thick layer of glue is applied to the primed surface. When clarifying the stitches of the joints, according to the adhesive mass, longitudinal grooves are necessarily carried out using a gear spatula, so the depth of pressing the tiles increases. An artificial stone is pressed into the glue, performing light vibrating movements, and at the same time pressed on the tile (from corners to the center). If the tiles are heavy, it has a large area or thickness, glue is applied not only to the wall, but also to the tile itself. Sometimes there is a need to divide the artificial stone into fragments to complete the masonry in the corner, in the lower or upper part of the wall, you may need a half or a quarter of the tile. Plant tiles are sawn with a hacksaw with a diamond canvas or using a circular saw. Wide nippers can be broken down by angular elements. A mixture of glue is prepared for the seams of the seams. Dry glue is diluted with water and brought to a half -dry viscous consistency, with some granularity. The seams are smeared with a special spatula, they are leveled with a damp hard brush.
