5 Tips to Improve the Grid Effect of Exterior Wall Real Stone Paint

There are some real stone paint projects that look good from the 3D renderings of the project at the beginning, but after the construction is completed, it is found that from a distance, the entire exterior wall does not look like a stone texture, but looks like ordinary paint. This is mainly because there is no reasonable division of the exterior wall real stone paint project, or the division design is unreasonable, which affects the vision. Today, I will introduce to you the key points of the division technology of real stone paint.

(1) Real stone paint lattice shape

In order to make the effect of the exterior wall not rigid, try not to choose square grids during the construction of real stone paint, such as horizontal and vertical grids, vertical grids, and "工" character grids are all good choices. However, the use function of the building should be considered. If it is a business unit office building, it should choose a more stable grid design, and residential buildings, shopping malls, schools, gymnasiums, etc. can choose a more lively grid design.

(2) The size of the real stone paint grid

Reasonable divisions should be made according to the height of the building. Generally, the divisions of high-rise buildings should be 1.5-2 square meters, the divisions of multi-storey buildings should be controlled between 1-1.5 square meters, and the divisions of low-rise buildings should be within 1 square meter.

(3) The width of the real stone paint grid

According to the size of the grid area, the width of the grid gap should be reasonably designed. Generally, it should be between 0.8-1.5 cm. It can also be designed to be horizontally wide, vertically narrow, and horizontally narrow. But try to control the width of the grid gap. within 2 cm.

(4) Real stone paint grid position

In order to make the spraying effect of real stone paint closer to stone, in principle, the same grid as stone can be used, such as yin and yang corner grids, window grids, and floor edge grids. However, considering the limitations of stone materials, the division of real stone paint does not need to be divided at the yin and yang corners. It is recommended that divisions be required on the side of the window, and attention should be paid to avoid small pieces and small edges as much as possible.

 (5) The color of the division joints in the construction of real stone paint

This detail is generally easy to be ignored, but it actually affects the overall effect of real stone paint. The general design principle is to form a contrast effect between the color of real stone paint and the color of the grid seam.

The above 5 points are the technical points of the real stone paint project for exterior walls. The division of the outer wall of real stone paint can improve the appearance of the building and make the decoration effect of real stone paint better. Some curved columns, imitating Roman stone columns, have strong requirements on the overall appearance, so no style is required, and the overall stone surface effect is better. Therefore, the division technique of real stone paint mainly changes with the occasion of use.

The predecessor of real stone paint is sandblasting. After process improvement and technological improvement, today's complete real stone paint system has come into being. The early sandblasting process had a single color, was easy to crack, and had a short lifespan. Real stone paint is born for higher exterior wall decoration effect by overcoming these shortcomings. However, affected by the predecessor of sandblasting, some users still care about the life of real stone paint.

First of all, we need to know that the life of real stone paint does not refer to the time when the real stone paint coating falls off. The service life of real stone paint refers to the time for which its decorative effect is maintained. To put it simply, it means that there will be no obvious pollution, cracking, yellowing, fading, etc. within the service life, and it does not mean that the real stone paint will fall off. The predecessor of real stone paint is "sandblasting". In terms of adhesion, the sandblasting coating can last for 7-8 years without falling off.

So, how long is the life of real stone paint? The service life of real stone paint is closely related to the emulsion used in real stone paint. Generally speaking, the service life of low-grade styrene-acrylic real stone paint is about 3-5 years, and the poor styrene-acrylic real stone paint will fade, yellow, black, crack, etc. in a few months; the service life of pure acrylic system is more than 10 years; The service life of the silicon acrylic system is more than 15 years. The reason why real stone paint is welcomed by the market is mainly because of the emergence of pure acrylic and silicon acrylic systems. "The service life can be as long as 70 years" is obviously an exaggerated propaganda, which is irresponsible to mislead customers.

Finally, how to guarantee the life of real stone paint? Real stone paint is a systematic project including raw materials, design, and construction. Good finished product = good product + good plan + good construction. Product quality determines the performance of raw materials, while the scheme and construction guarantee the performance of the coating. In order to ensure the quality and service life of finished products. This is what we often call the three-point paint and seven-part paint. Therefore, in order to improve the life of real stone paint, a qualified and high-quality construction team is needed.
