In terms of home decoration, stone materials and styles of choice are becoming more and more diverse, marble, rock slabs, quartzite, and granite, to briefly introduce you to the advantages as well as disadvantages of various types of stone.
Advantages and disadvantages of Quartz stone
Quartz stone is a new type of stone artificially synthesized from more than 90% of quartz crystals plus resin and other trace elements. It has uniform color and texture. Suitable for kitchen countertops, bathrooms, countertops, and bars.
Advantages: wear-resistant, stain-resistant, colorfast, affordable, and colorful to meet different decorative needs.
Disadvantages: poor flexibility, such as heavy impact cracks, too much thermal expansion and contraction caused by fracture.
Advantages and disadvantages of Marble stone
The main component of marble is calcium carbonate, it has a rich and unique color and texture and is a highly decorative stone. Therefore marble is often used for interior decoration, sculpture, and architectural surfaces—indoor floors, walls, threshold stones, window sills, and so on.
Advantages: natural texture, rich color, unique, high hardness and wear resistance, easy to polish.
Disadvantages: poor toughness, easy to break, easy to bleed color.
Advantages and disadvantages of Granite Stone
Granite is a very hard and wear-resistant stone with quartz, feldspar and mica as its main components. It has a rich granular architecture and color and is commonly used for outdoor flooring, walls, countertops, walls, steps and more.
Advantages: Granite is a hard stone with granular pattern, with high strength, high density, very low water absorption, hard texture, wear-resistant, acid-resistant, and very suitable for outdoor construction.
Disadvantages: flower color texture is relatively single-, the price is relatively high.
Advantages and disadvantages of Rock slab
Rock slab is a kind of composite stone, usually made of natural stone powder, resin, and pigment over the stone sintering, sintering molding at high temperature, in the role of pressure, so that its hardness has been improved, and scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant performance has also been improved, the rock slab can be used for countertops, floors, wall surfaces.
Advantages: especially thin, thin up to 3mm, hardness and good anti-penetration, can be used directly as a cutting board.
Disadvantages: seams can not be processed, plasticity is not high.
