Real stone paint exterior wall imitation stone must be considered: "is it like", "for a long time", "worth or not" these three most basic questions

1 Does it look like

How to avoid the embarrassment of “making real stone paint like paint” on a large area is the most basic problem of imitation stone on exterior walls

How to ensure that the stone-like effect of large-scale construction is "like stone"?

This is mainly to carry out a reasonable division treatment of the real stone paint project on the external wall

Real stone lacquer grid shape

In order to make the effect of the exterior wall less rigid, try not to choose square grids during the construction of real stone paint, such as horizontal and long grids, vertical grids, and "work" grids are all a good choice

The size of the real stone lacquer grid

It should be reasonably divided according to the height of the building.

As the outer garment of the building, the outer wall must be not only beautiful, but also durable

How to guarantee the service life of imitation stone for 10-15 years or even longer?

First of all, the service life of real stone paint is very closely related to the resin used
.
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, blacken, and crack in a few months; the service life of pure benzene system is more than 10 years; the service life of silicon-acrylic system More than 15 years
.
The reason why real stone paint is popular in the market is mainly because of the emergence of pure acrylic and silicone acrylic systems
.

So, is it true that the use of pure acrylic and silicone acrylic system real stone paint will definitely reach the service life of more than 10 years?

Obviously not
.
Real stone paint is a systematic project including raw materials, design, and construction.
Good finished product = good product + good plan
.
The quality of the finished product depends on the performance of the raw material, and the plan and construction guarantee the performance of the coating
.
The aging of the real stone paint coating starts from the surface coating.
Generally, the surface coating will experience a certain degree of aging in 7-8 years, and more dirt will be deposited, which will affect the overall decoration
.

Generally about 10 years, it is necessary to clean the surface of the coating and re-apply a top coat to extend the service life of the coating
.
This is like a good leather jacket.
If we want to wear it for a few more years, we need to maintain it regularly, such as once a year
.
For example, a car, no matter how expensive it is, requires regular maintenance.
Real stone paint is also exposed to wind, rain and sun for a long time.
If we want the decoration effect to last for a long time, we must also carry out "maintenance"
.

3 value is not worth

In fact, in many cases, a kind of stone needs water-in-water imitation, water-in-water sand imitation or rock chip imitation, etc.
These kinds of effects are closer to stone, the effect is more high-end, and the cost is slightly higher
.
The color of real stone paint is single, suitable for mid-range residential areas, factories, office buildings, etc.
; colorful paint, rock chip real stone paint has a more lifelike effect.
It belongs to high-end real stone paint, suitable for high-end hotels, office buildings, villas and other buildings; brick real stone paint is Alternatives to traditional ceramic tiles are richer in color and form than traditional ceramic tiles, with higher quality and stronger decoration
.
The editor thinks that you can choose the exterior wall products that you think are "worthy" according to your own project, combined with cost and effect
.

Taking into account the differences in the environment: northern cities with heavy sand dust and heavily polluted areas, you must choose real stone paint with good stain resistance, and try not to choose white and light-colored effects for appearance
