1. Raw material selection
Selecting high-quality natural stones according to the order of material used, for example, marble, granite, travertine, limestone, and so on. Most stones are purchased from 10mm tiles, and the most commonly used stones include natural white marble, black granite, and other colors of natural stone. Before purchasing, we need to make sure the stones have no cracks, flaws, or color differences, and this will ensure the quality of the final products.
2. Cutting mosaic chips
Firstly, cutting the raw stones into 20-30mm bigger than the order chips by a big stone cutting machine, and this is the basic element of natural stone mosaic tile sheets. For small quantity orders, a small bench cutting machine or hydraulic cutter can make a small quantity. If need to mass produce regular shape marble mosaic chips, a bridge cutting machine will improve the cutting efficiency.
3. Grinding
The surface treatment can make polished, honed, or rough surfaces as the order requires. Then grind the edges that have sharp areas or irregular edges, and use different sanding tools to make smoother edges and the stone surface, this will improve the glossiness.
4. Layout and bonding on mesh
Layout the stone mosaic chips and stick them on the back mesh, make sure all the patterns are pasted according to the order design and make sure the direction of each chip is correct. This step needs manual layout by our workers.
5. Dry and solidify
Place the bonded mosaic tiles in a well-ventilated place and let the glue dry naturally. As a consequence, use heating equipment to speed up the drying process.
6. Inspection and packaging
Inspect the product quality of these final small stone mosaic tiles and make sure every piece of tile sheets is perfect enough. After that is the packaging, firstly packing the tiles into a small paper carton, normally 5-10 pieces are packed into a box, depending on the order quantity. And then put the cartons into a wooden crate, wooden packaging will enhance the transportation and protect the goods.
Through the above procedures, stone mosaic tiles become a nice and durable ornamental stone from raw stone tiles, which is normally applied in residential, commercial, and public area decoration, where bathroom marble tiles design is one of the most popular applications.
