Analysis of Basalt Fuding Black G684 in Architectural Landscape Floor Paving
1、 Characteristics and Value Positioning of Stone Materials
Basalt Fuding Black G684 #, as a representative variety of domestic black granite, occupies an important position in the field of architectural decoration with its unique physical properties and aesthetic value. Its density is about 2.8g/cm ³, with a compressive strength of 120-250MPa, a flexural strength of 8.5-15.0MPa, a water absorption rate of less than 1%, and high hardness, wear resistance, and weathering resistance. The naturally formed black base and delicate texture not only showcase a calm and atmospheric atmosphere, but also harmoniously coexist with the natural landscape, making it an ideal choice for garden landscape flooring.
2、 The core advantages of garden landscape flooring
1. Durability and practicality**
The high density and low water absorption of G684 # enable it to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and pedestrian trampling, making it suitable for high-frequency use areas such as parks, trails, and squares. Its anti-corrosion performance (with a pH resistance of up to 99%) can cope with environmental pollution and extend its service life.
2. Aesthetic expressiveness**
The surface of stone can be processed into various forms such as natural surface, burnt surface, lychee surface, etc
-* * Natural Surface * *: Retain the original texture and create a rough and rustic wild charm;
-Polishing surface: The mirror effect enhances modernity and is commonly used around water features;
-Burnt surface: Non slip and three-dimensional, suitable for slopes and steps.
The black base forms a sharp contrast with green plants and water bodies, enhancing the sense of spatial hierarchy.
3. Ecology and Environmental Protection**
As a natural stone, G684 # has no radiation pollution and meets green building standards. The mining site in Fuding, Fujian adopts large-scale mining to reduce resource waste and achieve both economic benefits and sustainability.
3、 Typical application scenarios
1. Paving of Garden Road**
The main roads or winding paths in the park are paved with G684 # cut blocks or stones, paired with lawns or flowers, forming a simple and atmospheric guiding route. In a classical garden in Hangzhou, black stone and blue tiles and white walls echo each other, reproducing the artistic conception of Jiangnan.
2. Square and Courtyard**
In the ground design of urban squares or commercial complexes, G684 # can be decorated with other stones or divided into functional areas through different surface treatments. For example, a commercial square in Shanghai is mainly made of black burnt stone, combined with light strip design to create night time light and shadow effects.
3. Waterscape and Sculpture Base**
The edge of the pool or sculpture base is selected with a polished surface G684 #, utilizing its mirror reflection characteristics to enhance the flexibility of the water body. A certain ecological park in Fuzhou wraps its waterfront platform with black stone, creating a charming contrast with the surrounding bamboo forests.
4. Ecological slope protection and retaining wall**
Porous basalt (pumice) can be used for slope protection filling, with both permeability and structural stability, while reducing project costs. In a river regulation project in Zhejiang, G684 # crushed stones combined with vegetation to form a natural ecological barrier.
4、 Design and Construction Suggestions
1. * * Specification selection**
Considering the brittle nature of basalt, it is recommended to prioritize the use of small-sized slabs (such as 600 × 300mm) to avoid the risk of large material fractures. Special shapes can be customized for processing, but shrinkage joints need to be reserved.
2. * * Color matching**
Black stone can be paired with light colored granite (such as G603 white linen) or wood to balance the visual center of gravity. For example, a courtyard in Suzhou is mainly decorated with G684 # and yellow stone rockeries, creating a visual effect of "Ink Jiangnan".
3. Anti slip treatment**
It is recommended to use lychee noodles or burnt noodles in damp areas (such as around swimming pools) to ensure pedestrian safety. Attention should be paid to the impact of winter snow melting agents on stone in northern regions, and regular sealing and maintenance should be carried out.
5、 Conclusion
Basalt - Fuding Black G684 # has become a classic choice for modern garden landscape flooring due to its excellent physical properties and natural aesthetics. From traditional gardens to urban squares, their application not only enhances spatial quality, but also reflects the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. In the future, with the popularization of green building concepts, the environmental attributes and diversified processing technologies of G684 will further expand its application boundaries, providing more innovative possibilities for landscape design.
