The following are five tips that Yigaohao Putty reminds you to pay attention to the division of imitation stone paint. Through these tips, your imitation stone paint exterior wall will naturally look tall and improve its grade!

1. The location of the imitation stone paint grid:

In order to make the effect of imitation stone paint spraying closer to that of stone, in principle, the same grid positions as those of stone can be used, such as window grids, floor edge grids, etc. However, considering the limitations of stone, the imitation stone paint grid does not need to be divided at the Yin and Yang corners. It is recommended to divide the joints between the window frame and the wall, and pay attention to keeping the spacing as even as possible to avoid the appearance of small pieces and small edges.

Generally speaking, the partitions of high-rise buildings should be between 1.5 and 2 square meters, the partitions of middle floors should be controlled between 1 and 1.5 square meters, and the partitions of bottom floors should be within 1 square meter.
