Differences Between Real Stone Paint and Imitation Ceramic Tiles and Their Relevant Advantages

Real stone paint is currently one of the most widely used exterior wall coatings. In addition to real stone paint, there are various materials for exterior wall decoration such as ceramic tiles and stone materials. Today we will talk about the differences between real stone paint and imitation ceramic tiles as well as their relevant advantages. Please correct us if there is anything inappropriate.

First, let’s talk about several advantages of real stone paint compared with ceramic tiles.

Real stone paint is less prone to alkali efflorescence. Ceramic tiles are very likely to suffer from alkali efflorescence under the influence of rainwater and certain environmental conditions. Before construction, the wall surface must be treated accordingly for real stone paint to lower its pH value to below 10 as much as possible, and then an alkali-resistant primer shall be applied. In this way, real stone paint has much better alkali resistance than ceramic tiles.

Real stone paint features good air permeability, safety and resistance to falling off. As a textured coating, real stone paint has low unit weight and strong adhesion, so it is not easy to fall off. Even if it falls off, its light weight will not cause any safety accidents. Rigid ceramic tiles are relatively heavy and do not bond well with the wall. If they fall off due to environmental impacts, there will be a huge safety hazard.

Real stone paint delivers an integral, attractive appearance with superior stone imitation effects.

Compared with ceramic tiles, real stone paint allows more flexible shaping and arbitrary area coverage, and joints can be treated according to personal preferences.

Ceramic tiles are much more restrictive, and the overall look can be unsatisfactory if not properly installed.

In short, real stone paint has many advantages over ceramic tiles and is replacing them as one of the mainstream materials for exterior wall decoration.
