What is the difference between natural marble, rock slab and quartz stone?

Natural marble, quartz stone, and slate are all popular building materials:

Natural marble is the object that many building materials are vying to imitate. Its formation requires a long process and is composed of calcite, limestone, serpentine and dolomite. Its main component is mainly calcium carbonate, accounting for more than 50%. There are many components of natural marble, others include magnesium carbonate, calcium oxide, manganese oxide and silicon dioxide. Natural marble has a variety of textures, rich colors, high appearance, wear resistance, strong plasticity, and can be processed into various shapes. It is a very high-quality material.

Quartz stone, usually what we call quartz stone is a new type of stone artificially synthesized by more than 90% of quartz crystal plus resin and other trace elements. It is a large-scale plate pressed by a special machine under certain physical and chemical conditions, and its main material is quartz.

Slate is a very popular decorative plate in recent years. It is made of clay, sand and other materials through special processes, pressed by a press of more than 10,000 tons, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature above 1200 ° C. , imitating natural marble in texture.

1. Slate:
①Stains on the surface of the board are not easy to invade and easy to clean
② Manufactured at extremely high temperature, strong heat resistance
③The board surface is hard and durable, not easy to scratch and wear-resistant
④The texture is relatively less flexible, and it is not suitable for package use than rigid
⑤The texture is only on the surface without the whole body, the hardness is high, it is not easy to process in the later stage, and the breakage rate is high

2. Quartz stone:
① The color is acceptable, the texture is less, and the color difference is obvious
② Hard texture, anti-scratch and anti-corrosion, green and non-radiation
③ High anti-fouling performance, clean with water or common detergent
④ Poor heat resistance, avoid direct contact with high temperature objects

3. Marble:
①Natural marble is a breathing stone, which can adjust the indoor temperature and humidity, making it warm in winter and cool in summer
②Pure natural unique texture, rich and varied colors, highly decorative
③The texture is hard, wear-resistant, and has a very long service life. With good maintenance, natural marble can be used for 40 to 100 years.
④Natural marble has strong plasticity and can be processed into various shapes or used for carving
⑤Natural marble has a high-grade texture and excellent touch, giving people a warm feeling
