Introduction: Sintered stone is a high-end building material that has appeared in the market in recent years. It is widely loved by people for its excellent durability and beauty. However, if you want to install the sintered stone for the living room background wall, there are many things to pay attention to. This article will give you a detailed introduction on how to install the sintered stone for the background wall.

1. Preparation and planning

Before installing the sintered stone, we must first check whether the wall is flat, dry, clean and crack-free, because these factors will affect the effect of installing the rock slab. If the local area is uneven, we can use leveling materials to adjust it. Then sort it in order according to the pattern of the sintered stone to avoid paving errors.

 

2. Material and tool preparation

The commonly used tools for paving sintered stones are: knives, cutting machines, level rulers, hammers, racks, suction cups and special adhesives. In addition, safety equipment such as safety helmets and gloves need to be prepared to ensure construction safety.

3. Waterproof treatment

The wall needs to be waterproofed before installation, especially for areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens. We apply a waterproof coating on the surface of the wall. After waterproofing, you need to apply a layer of primer to enhance the adhesion between the wall and the sintered stone. After applying the primer, you need to wait for the primer to dry thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.

 

4. Paste the sintered stone

Apply the sintered stone adhesive evenly on the wall. It is recommended to apply the adhesive in different areas to avoid over-drying of the adhesive. Then stick each sintered stone on the wall in order, and use a level ruler to measure and adjust to ensure the flatness of the wall. During the pasting process, you can use a suction cup to carry large-sized sintered stones, which is more convenient.

 

5. Edge trimming and caulking

After the sintered stone is pasted, the gaps in the board need to be processed. There are two solutions here. One is to fill the gaps with edge trimming strips. Another method is to fill the joints with professional caulking agents to ensure the beauty and waterproofness of the gaps. During the caulking process, clean up the excess caulking agent.

 

6. Fixing and reinforcement

For sintered stone boards with larger specifications, I recommend using auxiliary tools for fixing during installation, which can not only increase safety but also improve work efficiency.

7. Cleaning and maintenance

After installation, wait for the adhesive and caulking agent to dry, and clean the surface with clean water or neutral detergent to remove excess. Regular cleaning can keep the gloss of the sintered stone surface more perfect and increase the service life.

 

Conclusion

The above is the whole process of installing sintered stone on the wall. Through the correct installation process and proper maintenance, the sintered stone wall can maintain its beauty for a long time.
