What should be paid attention to when making stone crafts?

stone crafts have been widely used in streets, parks, communities, etc., in various forms, such as characters, plants, animals, etc. Whether they are customized or made by manufacturers, these elements will be considered.

1. Design theme
The material of stone art is better than making streamlined works, so stone art has more advantages in the design of modernism and postmodernism works. For the abstract design of street parks, or works with strong dynamic support and small area, it is more necessary to choose light and high-strength stone art. The tension generated by surface coating curing makes stone crafts unfavorable for displaying detailed textures, which also need to be considered in the design.
2. Sculpture maintenance
Like other plastic products, stone crafts have aging phenomena. Generally, under the weather and external force damage such as wind, sand, rain and snow, the strength and integrity of the sculpture will be reduced. After five or six years of use, the sculpture is prone to deformation and breakage, so it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning and avoid external damage during the use of stone crafts.
3. Color effects
Color effect is not only an element that merchants must consider when customizing, but also directly affects the production process of manufacturers. stone crafts can generally achieve a variety of effects: conventional color, gold, silver, bronze, etc., which can meet the material requirements of various design needs, but also put forward requirements for the surface effect of the manufacturer's post-production. When manufacturers deal with imitation colors, they must be lifelike, which is also a link to test the manufacturer's lacquer skills.
4. Intensity factor
Compared with steel, stone art has insufficient rigidity and is easy to deform. Therefore, merchants and manufacturers need to consider these factors when designing stone crafts. When greater rigidity is required, stone crafts can be made into thin shell structures or sandwich structures, and stiffness can also be increased by increasing modulus fibers or making ribs to meet high-strength requirements.
