Loaʻa paha nā mea hoʻonaninani e like me nā tile seramika, ke kinikini maoli a i ʻole ka pōhaku quartz i kou home.Akā, ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe i ka papa pōhaku?Ua ʻike anei ʻoe e hoʻopau ʻia ana kēia mau pōhaku kuʻuna?Manaʻo ka hapa nui o ka quartz a i ʻole granite ka countertop maikaʻi loa.ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki ke hōʻole ʻia ka hoʻokō ʻana o nā mea ʻelua, no ke aha i kaulana nui ai ka pā pōhaku i ka wā e hopu koke ana i kā lākou mākeke?ʻOiai ʻaʻole kaulana ka papa pōhaku no ka hoʻonaninani kīhini, pono ia e nānā.ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ulu mau ko lākou kaulana i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, a e noho koke kēia mau huahana i kahi māhele mākeke.ʻO ka mea hiki ke wānana ʻia ko lākou ʻano e hiki mai ana;Hoʻohui lākou i ka waiwai i ka hoʻolālā o loko.Ma hope aʻe, e kūkākūkā mākou no ke aha he manaʻo maikaʻi e hoʻāʻo i kēia mau tile a me nā hana nui.Akā, e hoʻolauna kākou i ka ʻike kumu ma mua o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā kumu kikoʻī e hoʻohana ai i nā papa pōhaku.ʻO ka wehewehe maʻamau o ka slate he keʻokeʻo translucent ceramic waiwai i kaolinite.He ʻāpana ia o ka moʻo pōhaku ʻenekinia i loaʻa mai ka pālolo kaolin i hoʻomoʻa ʻia.Loaʻa i ka Kaolin nā ʻano minerala like ʻole, me ka silica, feldspar, mineral oxides.Kōkua kēia mau mineral i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kala a me ka ikaika o ka pā.
