The Basic Knowledge of Metal Mosaic You Should Know

March 16,2022

Mosaics can be divided into: ceramic mosaics, stone mosaics, metal mosaics, glass mosaics, etc, which are widely used in our daily life. Next, we will introduce the size and construction technology of metal mosaic.

 

What types of metal mosaics are there?

The metal mosaics we use are divided into stainless steel mosaics, aluminum-plastic plate mosaics, and aluminum alloy mosaics. Among them, stainless steel mosaics account for a small part of metal mosaics in the market, because stainless steel mosaics will react chemically with oxygen and become dim, but it is still popular with some people because of its advantages of low price and wear resistance.

 

There are many kinds of mosaics on the market with rich colors, which greatly enriches the market of home building decoration materials and brings more colors to people's lives. .

 

Aluminum-plastic panel mosaic is one of the mainstream metal mosaics in 2010. It is widely loved by consumers because of its many types of patterns, rich colors, lighter texture and simpler engineering during collage.

 

The particles of aluminum alloy mosaic are all aluminum, its strength is better than the former two, and it can be processed twice, and can be used as phantom, laser and other decorations, but because of its high cost and relatively single color, so There is no aluminum composite panel mosaic that is popular with consumers.

 

What sizes do montage copper canyon metallic mosaics come in?

 

The commonly used sizes of general mosaics are as follows: 9.5x9.5㎜, 10x10㎜, 15x15㎜, 20x20㎜, etc. The thickness is mainly 1㎜, 2㎜24㎜, 5㎜, 6㎜, 6㎜, 8㎜, 10㎜, 12mm, etc. The thickness of metal mosaic is generally between 4-8mm.

 

How does metallic basalt limestone mix mosaic  produce?

 

The most intuitive understanding of metal mosaic is to replace the past tile mosaic material with metal material, the texture is stronger, and it has a strong self-style, which has attracted much attention once it is launched.

 

1️⃣Mosaic of any material must ensure that the construction surface is clean and tidy before construction. Metal mosaic is no exception, and the requirements are more stringent, especially to check whether the wall is damp or cracked. Because the air permeability of metal mosaic is not as strong as that of tile mosaic, or even has no special gas performance, the water vapor will always be kept on the wall, and the metal mosaic on the surface of the wall will become moldy for a long time, and the glue on the back will fall off due to moisture.

 

2️⃣After the inspection, it is ready to be paved. First, determine the position of the mosaic on the wall to be paved, and then use a pencil box level to determine the line.

 

In the second step, you can peel off the adhesive of the metal mosaic, and then stick it according to the position of the line. Do not use force at this time, so as to avoid small-scale adjustments in the uneven areas later.

 

The third step is that after all the metal mosaics are laid, you can use a ruler to gently flatten the surface. Be careful not to use force to avoid breaking the metal surface.

 

In the fourth step, you can use a small rubber hammer to lightly tap the surface of the metal mosaic to make the adhesive and the wall stick more firmly, especially at the edges.

 

The fifth step, the metal mosaic does not need to be seamed, so after paving, just tear off the protective film on the surface of the mosaic, and then wipe it with a soft cloth.

 

Here is a special reminder, because it is a metal material, in order not to have a chemical reaction, be careful not to use acidic and alkaline cleaning agents for cleaning to avoid blackening and rusting of the mosaic surface.

 

3️⃣After the metal mosaic is laid, it is best to keep the space sealed for 48 hours. This time is the period when the adhesive is sticky, so do not spray the mosaic with water to avoid falling off due to poor stickiness.

 

To sum up
