How to distinguish quartz stone from marble?
Quartz stone and marble are common decoration materials, both of which have strong practicality and are aesthetically pleasing to decorate. However, many people find it difficult to distinguish between these two products, and there must be differences between different stones. Therefore, this article mainly introduces how to distinguish quartz stone and marble, as well as how to identify quartz stone and marble

How to distinguish quartz stone from marble
1.Advantages and disadvantages of quartz stone: The quotation is slightly higher compared to other stones. Due to the strong hardness of the quartz stone tabletop, it is not easy to process. It is not easy to scratch, resistant to high temperature, burns, anti-aging, fadeless, durable and beautiful, bacteria and poison resistant, durable and bright, non-toxic and radiation free.
2. There are two types of marble in the market today: artificial marble and natural marble
3. It has excellent processing functions such as sawing, cutting, polishing, drilling, carving, etc. Excellent wear-resistant function, not prone to aging, and its service life is usually around 50-80 years. In industry, marble is widely used for its characteristics such as non conductivity, non magnetism, and field stability. Beautiful in color and rich in color, it is widely used for indoor wall and ground decoration. For example: used in materials, purification agents, metallurgical solvents, etc.
4. The quality of quartz stone is directly related to the content of resin. The higher the content of quartz stone in quartz stone, the lower the resin content, and the better the quality. The closer it is to nature, the less likely it is to deform
How to Identify Quartz and Marble
1.Home decoration stone countertops generally include two types: artificial stone and natural stone. Natural stone, due to its presence of mineral metal radiation, is used indoors or outdoors in open spaces, such as hotels, banks, or squares. Artificial stone is generally divided into artificial acrylic stone and artificial quartz stone. Acrylic stone and quartz stone have no distinction between good and bad, and their composition is different, resulting in significant differences in characteristics. Therefore, when choosing, it is important to understand which characteristics of the countertop you value more and choose between acrylic and quartz stone.
2. Acrylic stone, as the main tabletop material in the current market, has a beautiful processing shape, mainly consisting of seamless splicing of curved rear water blocking and irregular processing, which quartz stone cannot achieve; In addition, acrylic has better toughness compared to quartz, especially pure acrylic. If a rough object rubs against an acrylic countertop, it can easily damage the brightness of the countertop. In addition, composite acrylic can withstand high temperatures of around 90 degrees Celsius, while pure acrylic can withstand high temperatures of 120 degrees Celsius. However, it should not be in contact with overheated objects for a long time.
3. Quartz stone has better hardness and wear resistance than acrylic stone, and has better heat resistance. Whether it is acrylic stone or quartz stone, the hot pot cannot be placed directly on the table, as thermal expansion and contraction can cause local molecular structural changes. Whether it's quartz or acrylic, if you don't use a pot pad and place a high-temperature object directly on the cabinet countertop, over time, the surface that comes into contact with the high-temperature object will differ from the bright parts of other countertops.
The above is all the knowledge about how to distinguish quartz stone from marble and how to identify quartz stone from marble
