What are the types of stone slabs

There are two main types of stone slabs: quartz stone and granite. details as follows

1. Quartz stone material: Quartz stone is a new type of synthetic stone, which is composed of more than 90% quartz crystal plus resin and other trace elements. It is mainly a large-scale plate pressed by a special machine under certain physical and chemical conditions. Its main material is quartz. Quartz stone has the characteristics of not scratching, not being old, not burning, non-toxic and non-radiation.

2. Granite material: Granite is also called artificial stone. It mainly uses natural marble chips and stone powder as the main raw materials, and can also add shells, glass and other materials as embellishments. With organic resin as the cement, it is made into square materials by vacuum stirring and high-pressure vibration, and then cured at room temperature (more than 7 days) , sawing, grinding, polishing and other processes to make plates. Granite has the characteristics of small color difference, no radiation, high strength, complete variety, stable quality, light weight, easy cutting, and simple installation method.

3. The difference between granite and quartz stone

Different hardness: quartz stone; granite is synthesized by marble powder and resin, the hardness is generally 4 to 6 degrees, so quartz stone is harder than granite, more scratch-resistant and wear-resistant.

The nature of reusability is different: quartz stone can be reused; granite cannot be reused, and once its front is damaged, it can no longer be used.

Radiation is different: Quartz stone is a non-radiation product and has no adverse effects on the body; granite is made of natural marble powder, so it may have radiation.

Whether processing is required: there is a protective film on the surface of the granite; the surface of the quartz stone does not need any processing.
