The category of rock slabs has been in demand recently. Many designers and home enthusiasts I know well are paying more and more attention to the material of slate. This material, which has not been around for a long time but has matured its technology, can be said to be “the best of many”: it not only has excellent physical properties such as waterproofing, anti-slip, anti-seepage, and high flatness, but also has rich colors and diverse textures. and other aesthetic and decorative functions. The improvement of the supporting construction technology has also allowed the application of slate slabs to go beyond the building materials application of wall and floor finishes, and to the application fields of furniture cabinet doors, countertops and other board materials.
However, for the young home decoration consumer group where appearance is paramount, "good looks" are the most powerful "weapon" for slate to capture their hearts. How beautiful is rock slab? Will the rock slab be a vase that is “good-looking but not useful”? How much potential does rock slab have in the future? Recently, the author refreshed his understanding of the material of rock slabs in the Unbounded Experience Hall at the "Summit" headquarters.
Beauty: Variety of colors, satisfying "face control" is serious
"Unexpected" is a key word for entering the world of "Samit". The multiple combinations of colors, textures and textures break the inherent impression of rock slabs. I thought that new materials might be limited in choice due to technical limitations. However, the "Summit" Unbounded Experience Center has achieved a complete advancement. Different spaces combine unique colors and symbolic elements, and based on the stone texture, the possibilities of rock slabs are maximized.
The top-grade fish belly white, Carrara, and Earl Gray, to Rising Sun, Agate Blue, Grand Skylight, and then to Dunhuang Impression, Feileng Cui, and Kara Gold. In the experience hall, you can see the simulation of natural stone textures by rock slabs. interpretation. Different touches such as matte and glossy surfaces extend richer reverie and experience at your fingertips. The enjoyment of the senses goes far beyond that.
Application extension of rock slabsSex also breaks through the ceiling of imagination. The experience hall breaks away from the daily application framework of floor and wall, and is applied in richer and more unexpected locations, showing different possibilities. In terms of design aesthetics, it can be an independent visual focus, or it can be invisible in the overall home environment and become the most inclusive background board. In furniture applications, it can be decorative panels, countertops, or even be endowed with composite functions of smart technology.
The extra-long island cladding and countertops in the kitchen space benefit from the large size of the stone slabs, allowing for continuous and seamless collage. The visually seamless experience not only enhances the quality of a beautiful home, but also makes the overall style more unified and more accommodating to different design style scenarios.
Strong: Excellent performance, continuous "work" without downtime
"Good-looking" must also be "durable", and both internal and external improvements are the key factors for the promotion of new materials. The kitchen space is the "most tested" place in the home environment. Class A1 fire protection, high temperature resistance of 1280 degrees, and the characteristics of not shrinking, cracking, or discoloring when exposed to open fire, realizing the diversification of slate applications in cabinets.
It is not afraid of knife cuts or wear and tear, which is also the strongest sign of rock slabs. Under the violent scratching of the key, the surface of the rock plate did not leave any scratches or marks, as if it were brand new and unworn.
(Stains can still be completely removed after applying with oil-based pens and lip liner )
The water permeability rate of the surface of the slate is 6/10,000, so stains and dirty water cannot penetrate, and it will be clean after being wiped, and it does not give bacteria and viruses room to breed. It seems that in the future, the chopping board can be "thrown away" at home. Already have slate countertopsEnough!
Needless to say, it has anti-slip properties. Even if I accidentally spilled black tea on a sloping rock slab, the water bottle didn’t slip at all. At the same time, you can also see the tea sliding down the board to the ground, and there is no residue after wiping it clean.
During the evaluation process, an adult man tried to stand on a suspended rock slab, and the change in load-bearing pressure was not noticeable at all on the rock slab. It can be seen that the working condition of the non-slip, dirt-resistant and pressure-resistant "Samit" rock slabs can remain online for many years!
New: Technology iteration, multiple applications are reliable
In the "Summit" Unbounded Experience Center, large-sized, impurity-free, and extremely transparent rock slabs are used as projection background screens. The high-definition, high-brightness and comfortable viewing experience greatly meets the needs of "lazy stayers" who don't want to go out but want to watch movies on the big screen.
However, it’s not just the appearance and performance that are eye-opening. The most surprising thing is the curved display of the 3.5mm thin rock plate. It turns out that in addition to achieving a breakthrough in the large size of 1200X3600mm and the ultra-thinness of 3.5mm, rock slabs also achieve elastic curvature within the range of 0°-20°.
It is understood that this rock slab can be used on the exterior facades of arc curtain wall buildings with collage technology. It is believed that the urban architectural landscape in the future will face another revolutionary update.
In addition, the integration of smart technology also further conveys the home-loving warmth of "Samit". The slate combined with graphene Xunuan intelligent heating technology creates a home experience that is warm but not dry, safe and has health care functions.
The temperature of the lifting and heating desktop can reach up to 55℃. It is also suitable for use as a home dining table and can also be used as a computer desk in office scenarios. The difference between the normal temperature computer area and the heating area has become the "three warmth" for "workers" in the cold winter.
With such a treasured new material, it’s no wonder that industry insiders and designers have high hopes for slate. The “new wave of rock slabs” has arrived. What new styles will “Samit” play on rock slabs? From July 20th to 24th, "Samit Tiles" will be at the Foshan Tanzhou Ceramics Exhibition, opening up the unbounded experience of slate, breaking conventions and setting no boundaries.
Using the latest slate product series and integrating unique design aesthetics, we will build a unique immersive slate innovation experience space in Hall 103 of Foshan Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. More hidden "Easter eggs" are waiting for you. If you are discerning, you can unlock it on the spot!
