Stone is loved by the majority of owners and designers with its natural grain and advanced texture. However, as a non renewable resource, more and more people pay attention to the rational utilization of stone in order to reduce the excessive consumption of earth resources. The birth of imitation stone grain aluminum veneer makes up for the defects of many stone materials, and can have the decorative effect of stone grain without consuming resources. It is a high-quality choice in indoor and outdoor design. Today, we will introduce what is imitation stone grain aluminum veneer from the following aspects.
01.
What is imitation stone grain aluminum veneer
Imitation stone grain aluminum veneer is one of many curtain wall materials. Its appearance and grain are very similar to stone, and its decorative effect is no different from stone; In terms of performance, the physical properties of stone like aluminum veneer are better than those of stone; With its own appearance and physical properties, it has become an ideal substitute for stone.
The imitation stone grain aluminum veneer is processed from high-quality aluminum alloy. The thickness can be 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm and 3.0mm. The surface is made of stone grain color by fluorocarbon spraying. It has rich texture and strong plasticity. It is the best choice for designers and owners in indoor and outdoor decoration.

Manufacturing technology of stone like aluminum veneer
The fabrication of imitation stone grain aluminum veneer mainly lies in coating, which is divided into two processes: fluorocarbon roller coating and fluorocarbon spraying. The sheet metal processing process before coating is basically similar, mainly including cutting, flanging, arc bending, welding, grinding and other processes of aluminum veneer, processing the aluminum veneer into the shape and size required for construction, and then start the process of photography for coating.
▲Sheet metal process
A. Fluorocarbon roller coating
Fluorocarbon roller coating adopts advanced five coating and five drying equipment, combines coating technology with digital color printing process, and uses high-quality fluorocarbon coating on one or both sides of aluminum plate through accurate NC positioning to form an ideal pattern in the process of multiple coating and baking. This processing method needs to reach a certain amount before it can be used. The processed texture is similar, and it is more suitable for stone like aluminum veneer for curtain wall decoration.
B.Fluorocarbon spraying
There are two manufacturing processes of fluorocarbon spraying stone like aluminum veneer, one is manual spraying and the other is machine spraying. Machine spraying is generally applicable to regular flat plate modeling. Regardless of the amount of manual spraying, the color modeling can be optional, so it is more widely used.

Characteristics of stone like aluminum veneer
A. Various styles and realistic texture
There are many surface styles of imitation stone grain aluminum veneer, which can imitate the grain and color of all stones, and create better styles at the same time. Its surface texture is sampled from the original stone, full of stone feeling, and the effect is also very realistic.
B.Strong plasticity
Imitation stone grain aluminum veneer has strong plasticity and can be processed into complex geometric figures such as flat panel, arc panel and ball panel, which can fully express the designer's ideas.
C.Light weight and easy installation
The material of imitation stone grain aluminum veneer is very light. Because it is made of high-quality aluminum alloy, its weight is about one tenth of that of stone. General stone like aluminum veneers are processed and formed in the factory, which is convenient for on-site installation and later maintenance.

D. Long service life
Imitation stone grain aluminum veneer has excellent physical properties. It can withstand the invasion brought by environmental changes when used indoors and outdoors. Its service life is very long, up to 10-15 years or even longer. However, stone may not be able to withstand such a test.
E.Environmentally friendly and recyclable
Imitation stone grain aluminum veneer can be recycled 100%, which is different from glass, ceramics, aluminum-plastic plate and other decorative building materials. It can be recycled, reduce the resource consumption of stone, and be green and environment-friendly.
F.Excellent physical performance
①Flame retardancy
The stone like aluminum veneer adopts high-strength aluminum alloy and fluorocarbon paint or panel, which has good flame retardancy. The fire rating is A1, which can pass the fire acceptance. It is widely used in home decoration and tooling projects.
②Strong weather resistance
The content of fluorocarbon base material in stone like aluminum veneer is about 70%, which can effectively resist acid rain, air pollution and ultraviolet rays. It can ensure that it will not change color, fade, peel off, burst and pulverize for 15 years. It has very strong weather resistance and can be used for building exterior wall decoration.
③Self cleaning
The fluorocarbon coating of stone like aluminum veneer contains special molecular structure, which makes its surface difficult to absorb dust, so it does not need special cleaning, and has very good self-cleaning.
④High strength and stiffness
The high-quality aluminum alloy selected for the stone like aluminum veneer has high strength. The weight of the 3.0mm thick stone like aluminum veneer is about 8kg and the tensile strength is 100-280n / m ㎡. The welding process is selected at the interface to further improve the strength and stiffness and ensure its wind resistance, shock resistance, rain leakage, air penetration, lightning protection and impact resistance.

Application of stone like aluminum veneer
Imitation stone grain aluminum veneer has the same decorative effect as dry hanging marble. It is usually used in two categories: outdoor curtain wall decoration and indoor wall decoration. Although the stone texture is rich, but limited by the material itself, the use will have limitations, and the imitation stone grain aluminum veneer can well solve this disadvantage.
A. Outdoor curtain wall decoration
B. Interior wall decoration
05.
Price and brand of imitation stone grain aluminum veneer
The price of imitation stone grain aluminum veneer is about 100-400 yuan / m2. The price will vary according to the style and thickness. If you buy it in batch, the price is relatively suitable.
