Natural Marble vs Marble Tile

1. Impact resistance

Natural marble is cracked and fragile, and the processing process is very high. It will cause fragmentation if it is not taken care of, and it will cause a lot of wear during decoration. Marble tiles are physically pressed and chemically fired, and the texture is hard. Decoration requires machining and cutting.

2. Abrasion resistance

The natural marble has a Mohs hardness of only 3, and the surface is easy to be worn and worn when it is used for a long time on the ground; the marble tile has a Mohs hardness of 4-5, and the surface is protected by glaze, and the product is super wear-resistant.

3. Bend resistance

Natural marble is easy to fold and fragile, especially large long boards, glued to the net in time, slotted with steel bars, is it easy to break the natural marble transportation, installation, and paving; marble tiles are physically pressed and chemically fired. The texture is hard and dense. Generally, a car will not break when it is slowly pressed over the brick surface.

4, Stain resistance

Natural marble is mainly formed by the natural deposition of calcium carbonate. The surface has many gaps and is easy to penetrate. All kinds of stolen goods at home can easily infiltrate into the marble. The surface can not be cleaned at all. Professional care is expensive; The manufactured glaze layer is completely impermeable to stains, and after polishing, the surface is smooth and easy to clean.

5, Water absorption

The natural nature of natural marble causes many small holes and gaps on the marble surface, easy to penetrate and high water absorption, which is why marble cleaning and care can not use water; and marble tiles because the surface glaze layer is dense and smooth, water absorption is less than 0.3% So marble tiles can be cleaned with water.

6. Defective color difference

The natural nature of natural marble results in large color differences and many defects on the surface of the marble. Even if the marble is uniform and flawless, the price is very expensive. Common natural marbles will be glued and dyed. The process is completely controllable, free of flaws and chromatic aberrations.

7. Production process

Natural marble is rough mining and simple processing, semi-finished products are not counted. At the same time, due to the non-renewable nature of the product and mining resources, the supply is unstable, and replenishment is basically impossible. Home furnishings, especially large-scale engineering projects, are difficult to control during the supply and construction period. Marble tiles are standardized industrial production finished products. According to the requirements, the product can be bought and used immediately, and the supply is stable. No matter how large the quantity can be delivered on time, the construction period is guaranteed.
