Quartz stone, which we usually call quartz stone, is a new type of stone synthesized by more than 90% quartz crystal plus resin and other trace elements. It is a large-size plate pressed by a special machine under certain physical and chemical conditions. Its main material is quartz. Quartz stone has a beautiful appearance and is often used as some high-grade facade decoration. What's the difference between it and marble? Today, let's introduce quartz stone.

What are the differences between quartz stone and marble?

1. Performance characteristics of natural marble

Advantages: clear lines, good gloss, material and color can not be made of quartz stone and artificial stone.

Disadvantages: the stone has poor color, large radiation, internal holes and is easy to mildew.

Natural marble is less used in kitchen countertops or places with more oil quality. It is mainly used in toilet countertops, windowsills, doorstones and other places.

2. Performance characteristics of artificial marble

Advantages: seamless splicing, delicate texture, environmental protection, not easy to penetrate, and easy processing and modeling.
Disadvantages: the material is easy to scratch, the water quality is easy to penetrate, prone to mildew pollution, high resin content and high temperature resistance.

Artificial marble is made by technical means. Although this kind of marble has beautiful color, it is still not as good as natural marble, and the number of natural marble is not many.

3. Performance characteristics of quartz

Advantages: relatively high temperature resistance, anti-aging, not easy to scrape flowers, lasting beauty, anti-virus, no radiation, durable and bright surface.
Disadvantages: the price is higher than that of artificial stone, and quartz stone has strong hardness, difficult processing, single shape, and there will be cracks when connecting.

The quality of quartzite has a certain relationship with the content of resin. The lower the resin, the higher the quality, closer to nature and not easy to deform. The thickness of quartz stone is 15mm, while the thickness of artificial marble is 12mm.

What are the uses of quartz?

01. Bathroom countertop

Cosmetics, toothpaste, shower gel and other items containing chemicals are generally placed on the bathroom table, while quartz stone is different from traditional marble, which is basically impermeable and very convenient to clean.

02 bay window

Many new houses now have floating windows. The advantage of using quartz stone for floating windows is that they are not afraid of moisture, will not deform and easy to maintain, but the texture is cold. It is very cool in summer and needs a cushion in winter.

04 coffee table

In recent years, the popular ins style tea table is characterized by gold or black metal tripod with quartz stone, which is very fashionable and generous.

Golandi quartz stone has excellent performance in all aspects, from rich color, texture and comfort matched with various space styles, to safety and environmental protection, to antifouling, moisture-proof and bacteriostasis. It is not only suitable for cabinet countertops, but also suitable for making tea tables, door covers and floating windows

How to buy Quartz stone?

1. Hardness test of quartz table

The advantages of quartz hardness have been mentioned in the above advantages and disadvantages, so hardness is a very important standard when purchasing. You can scratch the quartz stone table with a steel knife.

Inferior quartz will leave powder on the surface and leak out the internal texture. On the contrary, the quartz table with good quality will leave a "scratch of steel knife". (the hardness of the tool is not as high as that of quartz stone, so it will be scratched back.)

2. High temperature detection of quartz table

The raw material of quartz table determines that it can withstand the test of high temperature and burn with flame. No scorching or deformation will occur, and the wiping surface is still smooth after burning.

3. Color absorption detection of quartz table

Color absorption detection

High quality quartz stone will not absorb color and oil. Use a marker to draw a line on the surface of the quartz stone platform, which can be easily erased. If it cannot be erased, there is a quality problem.
