When you install new granite as part of a construction or renovation project, chances are you'll be left with at least some leftovers. These parts usually come in the form of leftover blocks from the supplier, and there is simply no room for them in the installation. The question is: what should you do with them now?
Mae rhai yn ceisio eu gwerthu i gontractwyr gwenithfaen neu gwmnïau ailgylchu. Mae eraill yn eu cadw wrth law ar gyfer unrhyw waith atgyweirio angenrheidiol yn ystod neu ar ôl gosod. Ond os ydych chi eisiau bod yn greadigol, mae yna ddigonedd o ddefnyddiau eraill ar gyfer y bwyd dros ben hyn - a gallwch chi wneud 100 y cant eich hun llawer ohonyn nhw!
Adeiladu Bwrdd Gwaith
Os oes gennych chi slab gwenithfaen mawr yn weddill ar gyfer eich prosiect, gallwch ei gyfuno â sylfaen addas i'w droi'n ben bwrdd cadarn, deniadol. Mae'r opsiynau yma bron yn ddiderfyn. Er enghraifft, gallwch ei osod ar sylfaen haearn a choesau, ei ddefnyddio fel bwrdd dan do, neu hyd yn oed ei osod ar fonyn coeden i greu bwrdd patio dros dro.
Of course, your granite slab will almost certainly have jagged edges, so it's important to bevel those edges to be safe. Also, make sure your base is strong enough to support the weight of the board, and that the surface area of the granite table top is only slightly larger than the base (about 0.3 times should be safe).
Design A Tray
Relatively small leftover granite is perfect for serving trays and decorative trays, depending on your preference. Granite trays on the counter can add an extra touch of elegance to your kitchen and dining area. Use it to serve your collection of cheese, meat and fruit, or any hors d'oeuvres you see fit.
On the other hand, you can also turn granite into a decorative tray for your living room space. It's relatively easy to shape and form the tray to your needs, you just need to install two handles on the top or sides to complete the look. Add a book or two to the top and you'll have a nice ornament that will aid your decor.
Make A House Number
Do you already have your house number on your house number or post? If so, is it made up of those cheap plastic "glued" numbers? Instead of dealing with the thrill of numbers that keep peeling off the surface, why not create a unique house number from the granite you have left over?
Just take a suitable piece of granite, shape it as desired, and carve (or paint) your house number on the board. It's relatively easy to do, and you'll get a house number that will stand the test of time - guaranteed!
Ei Ddefnyddio Ar gyfer Prosiectau Cartref Allanol
O ran defnyddiau cartref allanol ar gyfer gwenithfaen dros ben, yr awyr yw'r terfyn. Gallwch gymryd rhai byrddau dros ben a'u troi'n deils ar gyfer eich patio neu gyntedd; adeiladu ffynhonnau pentyrru allan o weddillion gwenithfaen; neu hyd yn oed ddefnyddio eich gwenithfaen dros ben i adeiladu wal gynnal o amgylch eich tŷ neu ardd (gan dybio bod gennych ddigon o ddeunydd).
