As a high-grade building decoration material, stone is widely used in indoor and outdoor decoration design, curtain wall decoration and public facilities construction, especially in the fields of infrastructure construction, real estate decoration and other fields. The stones commonly found on the market are mainly divided into natural stone and artificial stone and marble. Looking back at the history of China's stone industry, before the founding of New China, China did not have a stone industry; after the founding of New China, China's stone industry began to take off. Since the beginning of the millennium, China's stone industry has been spurting with the rapid development of China's economy. Geographical distribution, the production of Chinese stone is mainly distributed in the southern provinces of Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, the eastern province of Shandong Province, three major stone production provinces, of which Fujian and Shandong are major raw materials and processing and production, while Guangdong is mainly engaged in the processing of imported stone. The above three provinces account for 80% of China's stone production, especially marble and granite products. Up to now, China's annual output of stone has exceeded 10 million tons, becoming the world's largest stone producing country.
The new normal of the stone industry
Under the new economic normal, the development patterns of all walks of life have changed. Stone companies have also faced increasing cost pressures in recent years. In recent years, labor costs, raw material costs, freight charges and other policy costs have been rising. At the same time, price competition among stone enterprises has intensified and profits have been declining, resulting in an increase in the loss of stone enterprises.
With the growth of domestic economic growth in recent years, the trend of low-speed development in China's industrial manufacturing industry, China's industrial manufacturing exports are sluggish, real estate inventories are expanding, the demand for stone upstream industry is rapidly falling, and the pressure on the inventory of enterprises in the stone industry is increasing. . Many of the processing and export-oriented stone products have a meager profit and have begun to be transferred to the domestic market. It is a bigger challenge for the domestic stone market.
In addition, the stone industry, as the source of dust ash and “milk creek†phenomenon, has been used as a position for environmental protection by local governments. Therefore, more and more stone enterprises are facing the situation of suspension of production, business suspension and relocation. Under the wielding of environmental protection sticks, the policy is stricter on the production and processing requirements of stone enterprises, the investment in environmental pollution prevention and control facilities is also higher, the relevant procedures and approval conditions are more demanding, and the stone industry is facing increasingly urgent transformation pressure. .
As we all know, stone and ultra-hard materials industry are closely related, stone in the cutting, polishing and polishing, modeling and other aspects are inseparable from the support of super-hard materials. For example, diamond wire saws, gang saws and circular saw blades play a key role in the initial mining and processing of stone materials, while the downturn in the stone market has also reduced the demand for downstream abrasive tools.
New direction in the superhard material industry
For the upstream super-hard products enterprises closely related to the stone industry, how to better rely on the development advantage of stone to establish a foothold in the market?
Expanding the application range of stone, thin and ultra-thin stone will open the market in the future, and the grinding enterprise can carry out research and development of diamond cutting tools for the principle that the current stone plate is generally thick. As the hardest substance known in nature, diamond has its excellent performance, which has a broad development prospect in the field of cutting and processing of hard and brittle materials such as stone. At the same time, multi-purpose, multi-purpose cutting tools are more popular. Therefore, the grinding enterprise produces more abrasive tools, wider application range, longer tool life and higher cost performance, which helps the stone enterprises to save costs and improve efficiency, which will be an important competitive advantage.
Domestic companies continue to learn from the successful experiences of foreign counterparts. Manufacturers of old super-hard materials in the United States, Japan, Germany, Ireland and other countries have a large market share in the international market. They have leading advantages in scientific research accumulation, industry experience, technical processes, product quality, etc. The amount of competitiveness that cannot be ignored in the materials market. China's grinding enterprises should strengthen communication and learning, pay more attention to the dynamics of stone exhibitions, continue to learn from and innovate, research and develop high-end new products, and provide more excellent applications for stone enterprises.
In the future, the stone project will develop in the direction of greening, and the market will have higher and higher requirements for renovation, processing and maintenance of stone works. Under this trend, new stone tools and equipment will emerge to replace the old stone processing and polishing equipment. Abrasives companies should make tools to ensure cutting performance, but also to consider the difficulty of operation and environmental pollution. Therefore, reducing the dust emission of stone in processing applications, reducing noise pollution during processing, and catering to the theme of green environmental protection, will shine in the market.
The stone industry has been undergoing transformation. If the abrasives enterprises fail to keep up with the pace and cannot provide more excellent processing tools, they can be eliminated by the stone industry. Grinding enterprises should increase the research and development of products, strive to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises, enhance the value of products, care about the policy dynamics of the downstream stone industry, market dynamics, and understand the needs, in order to effectively solve the problem.
What is a concealed shower mixer?
A concealed shower valve is simply a built-in valve that is concealed behind the tiling in a shower enclosure. The only visible part of a concealed shower valve is the chrome control plate and handles; the rest sits neatly out of sight within the wall.
Are concealed showers good?
Due to the valve and any pipework being hidden beneath the tiles, concealed showers are the perfect choice for a bathroom with a minimalist aesthetic, and anyone that wants to create straight edges and reduce clutter. They are also an ideal option if you have a smaller bathroom and want to make the most of your space.
