It isn’t water- or stain-friendly


Stones are naturally porous. They tend to absorb stains and water, both of which run rampant in kitchens. It’s important to seal your stone every couple of years to protect against grease and grime. Even then, some stains will be hard to remove. Some homeowners just don’t have the time or patience for this added maintenance. Devoted cooks might want a backsplash that’s better equipped against staining.

You also have to be selective with your cleaning products. Natural stone can discolor when exposed to certain chemicals. Warm water or a special stone cleaner will usually do the trick, but always check manufacturer guidelines before you bust out your cleaning supplies.

Glass tempering technology

Glass tempering technology To make ordinary glass more resistant to shock loads, temperature changes, and also safer in the event of destruction, special high-temperature treatment is applied to it, followed by cooling - quenching. As a result of quenching, constant stresses remain in the glass material, due to which glass loses its uniformity and acquires new properties. The specific properties of tempered glass Hardened glass can not be drilled or cut - it will lead to its destruction due to the presence of internal stresses. Due to the use of glass hardening technology, it becomes 5-10 times stronger to shock loads and much more resistant to destruction due to temperature differences than ordinary glass. If tempered glass is broken, it does not carry a danger of injury to a person, since its fragments are small, with blunt edges, which cannot be cut. If you break the usual glass, formed large fragments with sharp edges, very traumatic. Glass tempering technology Use ...

What Is Sandblasting?

Sandblasting is a technology of glass processing with a high-pressure air-sand spray, formed as a result of mixing compressed air and sand (abrasive). Today sandblasting is one of the most effective ways to clean any surface. The sandblasting equipment allows to remove corrosion products, scum and carbon, as well as old colorful coatings from metal, glass, concrete, wooden and other surfaces. Glass and mirrors matting is the main operation in glassware decorating. Matting is a process of processing a glass surface or a mirror by sandblasting to obtain a matte finish. Matting can be classified into the following types depending upon complexity: •   solid matting - the whole surface becomes matte; • simple matting - the application of simple geometric shapes onto the mirror: lines, circles, squares, diamonds, etc. Sandblasting allows you to get an opaque matte surface for white glass. You can handle all the surface or only individual fragments. Sandblasting helps create ...

Scopes of tempered glass

Due to the properties of the material, tempered glass sheets are characterized by increased resistance to attempts to damage them. If you try to break the glass, the last hardening, you can find that it breaks into fragments with blunt edges, which can not injure the skin. This is the safety of the material. tempered glass  The hardening process is carried out on special equipment by means of strong heating of the glass, which, when it reaches a certain temperature, is subjected to instant cooling, which gives the desired effect. Moving from a moving mass to a solid, the glass structure is accompanied by a change in its physical parameters, since the bonds of the molecular level in it become stronger. With the help of this technology, the formation of compression stress points in the glass structure is realized, due to which glass becomes mechanically more durable and capable of withstanding significant temperatures without damage, as well as sudden temperature fluctuations...
