If your marble is damaged, you may not be able to find the exact matching tile to perform tile replacement. If you already have an extra marble tile and you replace the cracked tile with the new one, it can again crack while damaging the surface. With cracked tile repair using a high quality adhesive, you can get a uniform looking seamless surface for a long time.
Cracked tile looks dirty, stained and spoils the aesthetic beauty of your homes and interiors. If you wish to repair your marble cracked tile, often contractors may suggest changing the entire flooring. But with powerful cracked tile adhesives, you can restore the original beauty of your flooring without much cost.
Marble It Up! Full Crack [Password]
We have laid a 820 dolomite marble in a bath and closet. Almost immediately we started seeing straight white lines that eventually turned into fine cracks. It so happens that there is a 35 grid pattern of cracks which, you can guess, is the location of the hardibacker seams. After reading your comments above I think it is clear that we have reflective cracking. Do you think this is indicative of lack of tape at the seams, lack of gapping between hardibacker sheets(do they really need them?), or could it also be structural deflection(it is over crawlspace). The tile sub is alleging that he did everything right, but we have yet to conduct a floor inspection. We were originally hoping that the tile vendor would reimburse us for the material, but they are the ones asking for the tile investigation report. I would love to know your thoughts.
The biggest disadvantage with using marbles is that they have the ability to crack or break a glass vessel. For this reason, we suggest that you be very careful when using marbles. The last thing you want to do is crack a carboy when it is full of your precious wine.
For the next few years I battled sore knuckles continuously from shooting marbles in all kinds of weather. Most of us who grew up in the 1950s can recall wearing a rosy callous on the second knuckle of our shooting hand. The everyday rub against the ground caused the knuckles to crack and bleed. Dirt got into the cuts, turning the skin a sinister shade of coral.
Brittle shattering occurs when the bonds between molecules in a solid break (in tension) causing a dislocation, which then loads up neighboring molecules which in turn break also. In the end, there is a runaway process of crack propagation until the object is fully cracked.
I am not a material scientist but I do know that glass is a brittle material and fracture by the propagation of crack.This is more likely to happen if the glass is in a state of tension rather than in a state of compression.Depending on how the marbles are manufactured on possible explanation is that as the marbles cool the surface solidifies whilst the centre is still molten.As the cooling process continues the centre solidifies whilst at the same time contracting thus closing up cracks at the surface and so reducing the chances of fracture.I think this is not the explanation as when a marble does break I have not noticed it breaking explosively into many pieces as happens to a toughened car windscreen.
The video cited by @JohnAlexiou shows marbles shattered by the application of lerge compressive forces using a hydraulic press.Another video Smashing A Marble Into Pieces with a Hammer!! shows how difficult it is to break a marble with a hammer but it also points to a possible answer to the question.At approximately [3:30] in the video a larger marble is used but more significantly placed on what looks like a concrete surface where the previous attempts seem to be made on a softer surface.This time the marble fractured.So perhaps having two hard surfaces (the hammer head and the concrete floor) distorts a marble enough to open up some cracks which will then cause the marble to fracture.With the hydraulic press this is done in a more controlled fashion and the compressed marble with a store of spring potential energy fractures explosively as that energy is released.Just dropping a marble does not cause enough distortion to allow cracks to form and propagate and hence for fracturing to occur.
Further investigation lead me to How to Make Cracked Marbles where factures in the glass are achieved by quenching a hot marble in cold water.What is interesting is that although numerous cracks are formed within the glass a lot of the time the marble stays as a whole showing that the cracks which are formed are not on the whole "joined up".
hi we are building yachts and find in wash areas marble or engineered marble is cracking our gap is only 1mm if we use a solid surface we do not have a joint. can you assist in how much gap we should allow especially in corners and what we can add to marine ply substrate as we also get a lot of discolour thanks
