Ufuna imiphezulu yeetafile ezimhlophe? Nazi iiBets zakho eziBalaseleyo

Imiphezulu yeetafile emhlophe ishushu ngoku, kwaye ngesizathu esivakalayo: ziyakhanya, ziyakhanya, kwaye zongeza ukucoceka okunomtsalane kwiindawo zokulungiselela ukutya. Kwaye ngelixa abanye benokukhalaza iikhawuntari ezimhlophe njengezidikayo nezicacileyo, inyani kukuba ziyafumaneka kwizinto ezahlukeneyo, nganye inezinto ezakhiwe ngayo kunye nobuhle bayo, kwaye nganye inezinto ezilungileyo nezingalunganga.

Quartz emhlophe

I-Quartz inyuke ngokuthandwayo kule minyaka idlulileyo, ngesizathu esivakalayo. I-Quartz yinto engenayo i-porous ephikisana namabala kunye nokutsalwa-ke ukuphumla lula abathandi bewayini ebomvu-kwaye ayigcini iibhaktheriya. Kwakhona ayifuni ukutywinwa kwamaxesha ngamaxesha okuza nemabhile kunye negranite. Nangona kunjalo, isengozini kwiipani ezishushu kunye nembala xa ivezwe lilanga (ayingomhlaba ulungele ukusetyenziswa kumakhitshi angaphandle). Qaphela ukuba, ukuba iikhawuntari zakho zikhulu kakhulu, ngokuqinisekileyo ziya kuba nemisonto ebonakalayo. Ikwayenye yeendlela ezibiza kakhulu. Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo zikhona ICosentino (iSilestone) , I-DuPont (Zodiaq) , ICambria , UCesarestone , USanta Margherita kwaye Itekhnoloji - bonke banokhetho oluninzi olumhlophe.

Granite emhlophe

I-Granite yinto yendalo, okuthetha ukuba zonke iziqwenga zivela emhlabeni kwaye zintle ngokukodwa. Ihlala ixesha elide kakhulu, kodwa, ngenxa yendalo yayo, inokubangela ibala ukuba izinto ezichithekileyo ziyekwe ukuhlala ixesha elide, kwaye kufuneka zitywinwe (kwaye ziphinde zitywinwe rhoqo ngonyaka) ukuze ikhusele ngokupheleleyo umphezulu. Okwangoku, ikalwe kakhulu ngu IiNgxelo zabaThengi : Njenge-quartz, inyengane yasinda ekuchithekeni kwethu, iimbiza ezishushu, iimela, nangaphezulu ngamanqaku aphezulu, kodwa qaphela ukuba inako ukujija. Nangona i-granite ifikeleleka ngakumbi kwi-quartz, ezinye ze-slabs ezimhlophe zihlala zithathwa njengamatye aphezulu aphezulu anokuqhuba ixabiso liphezulu. Ukubheja kwakho ngokugqibeleleyo kukutyelela iyadi yegranite ukukhetha i-slab yakho. Izinketho ezidumileyo zibandakanya: uMlambo oMhlophe, iBianco Antarctica, kunye neNkosazana emhlophe.

Ikhonkrithi yinto eguquguqukayo enokubunjwa kwaye yenziwe imilo eyahlukeneyo kwaye igqitywe ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo-kodwa gcinani engqondweni ukuba kufuneka itywinwe ukuze ikwazi ukumelana namanzi, kwaye ii-sealant ze-topical azinako ukumelana nobushushu. Ngapha koko, ikhonkrithi ibala ngokulula kwaye ithambekele kwiitshipsi, ukukrwela, kunye nokuqhekeka kweenwele. Nangona kunjalo, intle , ukuba unyukele ekunyamekeleni izinto zokugcina eziphezulu. Akubizi xa uqesha iingcali ukuba zenze umsebenzi. Kodwa, ukuba uyayithanda inkangeleko kodwa ixabiso liyakuhlisa, UChris Loves Julia unesifundo esicocekileyo malunga nendlela yokwenza ngokwakho -indlela enzima kakhulu yabasebenzi kodwa efikelelekayo ngakumbi: malunga ne-30 yeedola kwisikwere sonyawo.

Laminate emhlophe

Njengoko ubona, i-laminate (okanye iFomica, njengoko ibizwa njalo ngokubhekisele kolunye lweempawu ezithandwayo) lolona khetho lufikelelekayo kolu luhlu. Imibala emitsha, iiprofayili kunye neepateni ziye zavela kule minyaka idlulileyo, zikunika uluhlu olubanzi lwezinto onokukhetha kuzo. I-Laminate yaziwa ngexabiso layo eliphantsi kunye nokulula kokufakwa. IFomica imiphezulu yeetafile hayi iplastikhi, kodwa indibaniselwano yoxinzelelo oluphathwe nge-resin-soaked kraft iphepha kunye ne-melamine.

Iyaziwa ngokuqaqamba kwendalo kunye nemibala. Iyadinga ukutywinwa (kwaye iphindwe ithengiswe kwakhona) kwaye inikwe umda kubume kunye nobukhulu obunokumbiwa kwaye busikwe, ngokungafaniyo ne-quartz eyenziweyo. Kukwaziwa nangokuhlala ixesha elide.
