The Difference Between Artificial Stone And Quartz Stone

Artificial Stone Fabrication and quartz stone are very popular materials in the market at present, and are commonly used in the decoration and design of kitchen countertops, toilets, and toilet areas. Although they look very similar, there are actually quite a few differences between the two, in terms of composition, performance, and how they are installed. Let's talk about the difference between Artificial Stone and quartz stone.

1. In terms of composition:

Artificial stone is a kind of artificial material made by mixing natural stone, natural stone powder and other fillers. The base material of Artificial Stone Material is usually stone powder, cement, resin and other raw materials.

Quartz stone is an artificial stone material that uses natural quartz crystal as the main raw material, adding auxiliary materials, coloring agents, etc., and is processed under high temperature and high pressure. This kind of quartz stone can only be formed through artificial manufacturing.

2. Performance:

Artificial stone has the advantages of high hardness, good wear resistance, anti-fouling, chemical corrosion resistance, etc., and can be made into Artificial Stone Desk. But relatively speaking, artificial stone is not as heat-resistant and crack-resistant as quartz stone.

Quartz stone has high hardness, high compressive strength, strong fire resistance, wear resistance, anti-fouling, and the surface smoothness has reached the level of difficult and delicate treatment.

3. Installation method:

The base material of artificial stone is thick and heavy, and it often requires precise cutting, cornering and edge treatment during installation, which requires an experienced and skilled installation team to complete.

Due to its high hardness, quartz stone is fragile and requires high precision when installing, and special care should be taken to avoid damage to the surface. But because of its high hardness, it is more durable.

To sum up, although artificial stone and quartz stone are similar, they are quite different. In terms of composition, artificial stone has a variety of fillers, and quartz stone uses natural quartz crystal as the main raw material; in terms of performance, artificial stone has better anti-wear and anti-fouling effects, and the strong hardness of quartz stone has become its biggest unique point Advantages: In terms of installation, due to hardness and installation complexity, both materials require skilled installation technical support during installation. Different usage plans should be formulated according to the above characteristics and special occasions to avoid quality problems.
