Artificial stone Xuanshui natural stone is more suitable for PK?

Natural Stone

    Natural stone in daily use is mainly divided into two: marble and granite. In general, where there are texture, known as marble, is called a point-based granite plaque. This is the broad sense of the. Narrow sense, refers to the Dali marble stone produced. In fact, a few pieces of stone is not the country out of Dali.

    Both can also be distinguished from the geological concept. Granite is igneous rock, also known as acid crystalline plutonic rocks, is the most widely distributed in igneous rocks of a rock, the feldspar, quartz and mica, the ingredients in silica and account for about 65% to 75%, rock quality hard dense. Igneous rock is called magma, or underground volcanic eruption of lava rocks crystallized condensation. Content of silica in igneous rocks, the nature and content of feldspar determine the nature of stone. When the silica content of greater than 65% belong to acid rock, this rock CKS feldspar, plagioclase, quartz and other minerals to form the basic crystal, granular structure, known as granite.

    Marble is the crustal rocks through the crust in the Central Plains and some high temperature and high pressure metamorphic rocks formed. Internal forces to promote the role of the crust rock types of the original qualitative change in the process. Qualitative change refers to the original rock formation, structure and mineral composition changes. After the formation of a new qualitative change is called metamorphic rock types. Mainly composed of calcite, marble, limestone, serpentine and dolomite composition. The main ingredient in calcium carbonate, about 50%. Others include magnesium carbonate, calcium oxide, manganese oxide and silicon dioxide and so on. Because marble is generally contain impurities, and calcium carbonate by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, carbon, water vapor in the role, but also easy to weathering and erosion, leaving the surface very quickly lose their luster, relatively soft marble of a general nature, which is relative to the granitic Stone purposes.

    Of course, the above mentioned marble and granite in the above classification, is a more narrowly defined. Now the market said, generally have textures are metamorphic rocks, so it was known as marble. The crystalline particles were spotted, also known as a granite. Of course, if your stone is used outdoors, the environment is more adverse to the need for a more detailed classification.

    Because the pore surface of natural stone, so weak in terms of tolerance. Processing plants are generally on the surface for processing. In interior decoration, the TV table, windowsill countertops, interior and other suitable ground marble. The threshold, kitchen countertops, granite suitable for use outdoors on the ground. Kitchen table where it is best to use the dark granite.

    Now on the market of natural stone, some color is the result of manual processing, which generally use a half stone to a year or so will reveal their true faces. The most obvious is the large flowers are now on the market green, many of which are made of stain, not really a big flower green.

    Also to be noted that the back of the grid, this happens in two ways:

    1, the stone itself is brittle, must be added to the grid, such as Spain beige.

    2, shoddy work, which is thinning the thickness of stone, and strength enough, so I added a grid, usually the deeper the color of the stone if the grid, most of this factor.

    Artificial stone

    Artificial stone is unsaturated polyester resin binder, together with the natural marble or calcite, dolomite, silica sand, glass powder and other inorganic powders, and the right amount of flame retardants, color, ingredients by mixing, casting, vibration compression, extrusion and other methods of forming an artificial stone made from cured. Artificial man-made stone is used in accordance with the actual problems come up, it is moisture, acid, alkali, high temperature, put together have made great progress in terms. Of course, the artificial man-made things naturally have shortcomings, the general nature of the artificial stone is clearly not enough, they were used for cabinets and other places for the practical requirements of a higher and more, for the bay windows, floors and other stresses on the less decorative.

    Another impeding factor is the use of artificial stone the human factor. Because the production process of artificial stone very different, so not exactly the same performance characteristics. Therefore, the performance of the above mentioned and must be man-made stone you are buying the properties. Imports currently on the market above the artificial stone is better in performance, relatively speaking, made the poor. Simply put, imported marble allows sanding scratches the surface, the user does not reassert himself to handle it met, and many man-made stone apparently can not support this approach, the more polished the worse.
