Overview of Flamed Flooring

Flamed flooring refers to a surface treatment technique applied to stone materials, typically granite or similar natural stones, to create a textured, non-slip finish. This process involves exposing the stone surface to high-temperature flames, causing the surface crystals to burst and produce a rough texture.

Main Sections

Specifications

• Material Types: Commonly granite or other dense natural stones suitable for thermal treatment.
• Surface Finish: Rough, textured surface achieved through flame exposure.
• Dimensions and Thickness: Typically specified based on application requirements.

Procedures

• Preparation: Cleaning and drying the stone surface before treatment.
• Flaming Process: Application of a high-temperature flame evenly across the surface.
• Post-Treatment: Cooling and possible brushing to remove loose particles.

Standards and Norms

• Compliance with local building codes for slip resistance.
• Quality control measures to ensure uniform texture and durability.

Recommendations and Best Practices

• Use on outdoor flooring or areas requiring enhanced slip resistance.
• Regular maintenance to preserve texture and safety.
• Avoid use on surfaces exposed to excessive wear without protective measures.

Key Parameters and Limitations

• Slip Resistance: Significantly improved compared to polished surfaces.
• Durability: Resistant to weathering but may require maintenance.
• Limitations: Not suitable for indoor polished flooring applications due to rough texture.
