When it comes to stone-like finishes, the most common comparison is: Stone coating vs real stone paint They may look similar, but the real difference can be: 👉 Renovation every 5 years vs stable performance for over 10 years 1. They Are Not the Same Many people confuse these two. Simply put: Stone coating = a broader category Real stone paint = one traditional type In today’s market, “stone coating” often refers to advanced systems like water-in-water and water-in-sand coatings.

Self-leveling mortar has become one of the most widely used materials in modern flooring systems due to its excellent flow ability and automatic leveling performance. It is commonly applied in industrial plants, commercial spaces, parking areas, and residential floor leveling. However, in real-world projects, even high-quality materials often fail to deliver expected results, leading to issues such as cracking, dusting, and delamination. The root cause is rarely the material itself, but rather improper control of the construction process. Self-leveling is not a simple “pour and go” solution—it is a highly sensitive system that depends on substrate conditions, environmental control, accurate mixing, and precise application. From a material perspective, self-leveling mortar is composed of cement or gypsum binders, fine aggregates, fillers, and various functional additives. It can be categorized into cement-based and gypsum-based systems. Cement-based products comply with JC/T 985-20...
