The window is an important part of the room. In addition to the ventilation, the decorated window sill will make the room unique. There are many materials that can be used for window sill decoration. Among them, the stone is hard to be waterproof and beautifully decorated, which has become the choice when many people decorate the window sill. So how should the stone used for the window sill be selected? How should it be installed after the selection?
Part1: Introduction to the mainstream window sill stone knowledge
With the diversification of decoration materials, the materials currently available for window sill decoration include stone, metal materials and wood materials such as natural stone and artificial stone. The function of the window sill is mainly aesthetics and decoration. Among them, the stone is the mainstream choice for window sill decoration materials due to its outstanding waterproof and decorative functions. But there are many classifications of stone, how to choose it, or to take a detailed look at the following knowledge about the sill stone.
1. Classification knowledge of window sill stone
The material of the window sill stone is natural stone and artificial stone. The natural stone has marble and granite. The artificial stone has many varieties such as ordinary and quartz stone. Because the window sill stone has a small area, it is not demanding seamless splicing. More natural stone.
Although the area of ​​the window sill is a very small part of the decoration area of ​​the house, everyone pays less attention to it. What should be chosen for the window sill stone, many people sway between several materials because they do not understand. This is not, look at the comparison in the above table, I believe that everyone can have a bottom in mind.
2, the price of window sill stone
The natural stone is settled in flat meters, and the processing fee can account for more than the general cost of materials. The cut part will also be counted in the stone area. The artificial stone is settled by Yanmi, and one meter is also one meter, and generally no processing fee is charged.
3, according to the window sill design to determine the stone area
There are many styles of window sills, such as single window sill, door window, balcony window, bay window, etc. The shape is generally a shape, L shape or U shape. To determine the area of ​​the sill stone, it is necessary to accurately measure the area of ​​the sill. Through the length of the window sill and the thickness of the window sill into the wall, the length and width dimensions of the sill are determined, and then the actual size of the sill is designed. The actual size is larger than the size of the window sill, mainly for the purpose of wearing and connecting.
The actual size of the window sill is determined: as the size of a single window, generally 3 to 5 cm can be added at both ends of the length, commonly known as "ears"; the window sill of the door with the window has an "ear" on the side of the wall, and is directly wrapped over the door; The L-shaped window sill has "ears" on both sides; in addition, the sill surface is not only wide at both ends, but also a few centimeters in front, that is, the actual sill width is wider than the thickness of the lower wall of the sill, at least 3 cm wide.
The window sill is generally better to make the width wider, the width is more beautiful, and it is convenient to put the flower pot, etc., but it should be noted that if the width inside the window sill is relatively narrow, the window sill cannot be detected too much, if there are more places to hang out The window sill will not be strong.
Part2: The savvy choice of window sill stone purchase needs
If you decide that the home window sill decoration should choose a certain stone, you also know that by measuring the area of ​​the window sill to determine the stone area, then you have made basic preparations for the purchase of the appropriate stone. Let's take a look at what to look for when buying window sill stone.
1, selected purchase method
There are two ways to purchase window sill stone. One is to choose to let the business come to the door. One is to go to the stone market to select and process, and then ship it back to yourself or ask someone to install it. Both ways have their own advantages and disadvantages.
2, ask the price clearly
When buying window sill stone, we must make the following items clear: the price of the board; the cost of edging; the cost of installation; whether it adds loss, how much; the cost of boring, grinding and bonding; the cost of cutting; the cost of protection The cost of transportation; whether the door is measured to pay the deposit. Note that some large windowsills are billed by area, and small windowsills are calculated according to the length of the meter. This requires clear questions and comparisons.
3, the cutting sample ensures accuracy
The general window sill can use a whole piece of stone, and the L-shaped window sill should be spliced ​​at a 45 degree angle if it is made of natural stone. It is best to draw the correct size of the window sill with hard-shell paper, cut it, and take the sample board to the stone market for processing. This is especially important for the sill of the bevel to be spliced. If the model is made accurately, the seam of the window sill is very small.
4, quality inspection: look at the surface and test lines
When selecting the sill stone, you need to check its quality. At this time, in addition to seeing the surface effect of the stone, such as whether the pattern is beautiful, whether it is flat, whether there is color difference, whether there is sand hole, whether there is any trace of compensation, etc., but also look at the side of the grain, can not see the texture of the stone generally hardness Yes, but there are exceptions. If there is a grain, the texture is fine and the strength is better.
5, quality testing: water splash experiment
The large board is usually placed outside, it is best to bring the bottle of water, splash the water to see the real color, and touch it with water, feel the smoothness, especially the bathroom countertop should be brighter and smoother. Large bay window stones can be used in darker colors due to the location of the installation, but it is best to match the color of the small window sill.
Part3: Careful construction window sill stone installation points
After the window sill stone is purchased, it will enter the installation and construction process. Whether the details of the installation are in place determines the final installation effect. Therefore, when constructing and installing, pay attention to some burial points to ensure that nothing is lost.
1, the window sill stone installation should be before the wall surface treatment
When the house is being renovated, the window sill should be installed before the wall decoration on the side of the window sill, so that the gap between the two sides can be compensated by the putty, but the window sill should be protected when the wall is treated. If the window sill can only be installed after the wall is finished, make sure that the gap between the two sides of the wall is no more than 2 mm.
2, the window joint installation joints should avoid the use of cement joints
Glass glue should be used at the joints during installation. Do not use cement joints. If the stone joints have small gaps and then fill with cement, it will be more obvious.
3, window sill stone should not be processed in winter
It is best to avoid the winter when processing stone, because the stone processing is basically in the open air, the quality of the cold and sticky marble is not guaranteed, the stickiness is easy to fall, and the marble seam which is cold and sticky is not good.
4, there is a back net stone is not suitable for narrowing the window sill
Note that the stone with the back net is not suitable for narrowing the window sill, it is easy to break, although it can be handled by means of sticky sanding protection, but the effect is difficult to guarantee.
5, pay attention to maintenance after installation
After the window sill stone is installed, proper maintenance is required. Be careful not to wax at will. The wax on the market basically contains acid and alkali substances, which will block the pores of the stone, and it is easy to get dust to form wax scale. Most of the wax contains ammonia, which will adversely affect the human body and the environment. The stone surface is polished to avoid scratching hard objects; in addition, the stone has a certain permeability, so do not cover it for a long time.
