Hager Alice quartz processing practices:

Processing of basic guidelines:
In order to ensure high-quality products, the following guidelines:
● To avoid plate overheating, use only water-cooled tools Hager Alice quartz stone cutting, drilling and polishing.
● cross-cutting manner is strictly prohibited angles cut at right angles, as this will cause pressure gathered at a certain point, may countertops cracked.
● When cutting angles of core drilling (large diameter hole drilling), prohibited the use of the cut piece to be cut, cutting each hole to connect, and to retain the arc of the hole. Anhydrous cutting, drilling and polishing, because of local overheating can cause cracks is strictly prohibited.
● countertops bonding should be used before the water and alcohol to clean the adhesive area.
● If the bond area behind the print marks must clear, and then bonding.
● Never leave the hand-sanded the Haig Ritz quartz stone surface.
● Never use without batch of plates to be spliced.

1, before the examination:
Plate surface, the back of the match plate color must be checked before each use.
(1) sheet surface inspection package takes:
① Surface Inspection: sheet surface gloss are the same whether there are cracks, worn point impurities, pores, scars, uneven points and other undesirable phenomena.
② flatness check: whether the formation of plate deformation, warping phenomenon.
③ thickness inspection: plate thickness deviation is standard, splicing use different two plate thickness of the gap.
(2) the back of the sheet inspection package takes:
① the back of the formation, if uneven phenomenon.
② whether there is a severe mosaic, repair traces, cracks and other phenomena.
(3) sheet color matching to check the package takes:
The similarity of the
① sample color and the color of the actual sheet: comparison of the sample and the actual plate, the color is similar, whether the gap is obvious.
② sheet color consistent: the distribution of the background color, grain, texture of the plate is uniform, pigmentation, uneven distribution of phenomena.
③ the same batch number plate color similarity: the same batch number plate color are the same, the background particles, the texture distribution is similar, whether the component exists. (Note: Do not use different batches of plates to be spliced)

2, the joints
In order to reduce the risk of cracking plate, get the best processing results, the choice of joints must consider the following factors:
①As soon as conditions permit, the connection position of the two plates should not be top of the dishwasher or oven.
②U-shaped kitchen countertops, the stitching position of the table should be selected in the corner.
③L-shaped units shall be two bar table, mosaic, non-processed into integrated solid block. Rupture because of mechanical stress and an L-shaped block countertops may be due to thermal expansion and contraction, or when the assembly cabinet.

3, Trench
If the distance between the chamfer parts and countertops splicing is less than 150MM, the region needs to support reinforcement. This can be through to ensure that all joints are located in the beams of the cabinet position of or in seams below the skids. Trench cutting the left edge of the drill between the edge of the tangent the the 3MM distance to meet Trench expanded in the future may.

4, polishing
Must be polished using water-cooled tools, or may cause the sheet to local overheating, so that the plate is easy fragmentation. Local overheating will damage the physical structure of the stone, although this is not visible to the naked eye, but this will often cause the stone to fracture in the role of external forces.

5, the corner
Recommendations corner 2MM wide 45 ° angle to the hypotenuse, or use a radius of 3-4MM rounded.

6, front-end bond
① an angle of 45 ° bonding way: the bonding of two plates side stitching part of the cut angle of 45 °, the stitching part of the clean and maintain the balance of the two adhesive surface to ensure the stitching firm.
② double bonding way: double-layer adhesive must be used with stone countertops length article under the spell side, and the corner must use a 45 ° angle of stitching. If under the spell of Stone article can not use the same length as the entire stone, two stone stitching part must use a 45 ° angle of bonding.

7, the pad bar, plate
The table at the bottom of the requirements of the use of sheet metal the same thickness of pad bar, double stitching into phase with the front-end level of the same height, or use the pad to the entire table at the bottom of the double bond into a level with the front end of the same height. To obtain the flatness of the table, secure, and enhance the overall force capacity of the table. Pad bar or plate materials commonly used wood, quartz, aluminum alloy.
