Artificial stone countertops or natural marble countertops good?
Artificial stone countertops and natural marble countertops have advantages and disadvantages. It can't be better.
Marble(1) advantages: there are few stone like marble with beautiful natural texture, it can choose the color range is very large, from black and pink, then white, even the dark green are scarce. No matter what style of the decoration, you can find one or two marble and harmonious color, of course, it is undeniable that the different colors, the marble top price is not the same, there is a dark green with white is the most expensive in the stone. The use of marble to do mesa deformation, high hardness, wear resistance and long life, it is a very old building materials, its durability is always beyond the imagination of people.(2) disadvantages: like any other building material, there are advantages and disadvantages. The defect of marble is determined by its characteristics, it is formed in nature, is a porous material, but said people at a glance will not see these tiny holes, but it is true, this is caused by the need to beware of marble dirt and sewage in the process of using. If you let the sewage along the subtle loose hole into the stone, then in the future will affect the beauty will be very difficult to clean in place. Now the process of making stone is more and more advanced, some stones in the manufacturing process can be very good to avoid this shortcoming. There is a very interesting problem is the general marble stone will be more or less containing radioactive substances, would be detrimental to the human body, so when in the purchase price, attention to the kitchen marble table, radiation content also needs to pay attention to the marble table.
Artificial stone:(1) advantages: artificial stone is more wear-resistant, acid resistance, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, compression, bending, anti permeability and other functions are also very strong. Its deformation, bonding, turning and other parts of the treatment of unique; colorful, the overall shape, and can be repeatedly polished renovation. Therefore, pollution resistant, because the surface is not porous, oil, water stains difficult to penetrate them, general stains can be wiped with a damp cloth or detergent; seamless bonding can be any length, with adhesive material grinding, two pieces of adhesive joints without trace all blend into one harmonious whole.(2) disadvantages: the nature is obviously insufficient, the texture is relatively false; the price is higher, even if it is a seamless artificial stone can not withstand the sharp metal, such as". And because of the different processing technology, the quality is also divided into various grades and ranks, so the choice must pick a better reputation, service assurance brand. The industry suggested that, according to the cost, it is best not to consider less than 1000 yuan of artificial stone.
