The space image research base on the construction method of surface texture of the cement tiles

This study proposes a construction method that can produce cement tiles with cracked textures to achieve a richer performance through the surface texture of cement materials. During production tests, a step-by-step experimental method was used to determine the control variables that imitate natural cracks. The investigation showed that simulations of stone cracks, patched earth cracks, and cracked ice were the natural textures most preferred by the public; therefore, the study to make samples by color, surface layer thickness, drying time, and pressure level method as the control variables. A total of 12 samples were manufactured, and then applied to the display scene in a simulated space. The experimental results show that, for interviewees with design backgrounds, their preference scores improve when the space image shows “fashionable” and “calm” attributes. In contrast, for interviewees without design backgrounds, their preference scores improve when the space image shows “simple,” “non-oppressive,” and “hard” attributes. Using the quantification method of the first type, the results show the sample most preferred by the interviewees was the sample manufactured with the following method: pouring 30 g white cement mortar into the mold, letting it dry for an hour, and then filling the mold with gray-black cement mortar and pressuring it with the gentle slope of the pressure level setting. The preference of interviewees without design backgrounds or familiarity with the manufacturing process of cement tiles with cracked textures is affected by the color of cement tiles, and the preference of interviewees with design backgrounds and familiarity with the manufacturing process of cement tiles with cracked textures is affected by the pressure application method. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide a reference for the design and manufacturing process of cement mortar products, and further help the development of modularized cement mortar building materials.
