The difference between artificial marble and natural marble
As the composition of artificial marble contains more than 92% natural marble, so it retains the noble and elegant characteristics of natural stone, moreover, it has the characteristics of brilliant color, uniform color, precise size, high finish, pressure and wear resistance, good air permeability, environmental protection, and can be renovated many times, etc. It is an internationally popular green and environmental protection decorative material. It has the following characteristics.
(1) color difference is small: because of the centralized batching process in the synthesis process, completely solved the unsolvable color difference problem-plagued in the process of natural stone decoration, with a small color difference in large areas, the appearance of uniform color pattern uniform, the overall decorative effect is good, especially suitable for large area paving in large projects. Dongguan artificial marble series products are suitable for large-area decoration in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, airports, stations, subways, and other places, and are also ideal materials for family room decoration and craft furniture production.
(2) no radiation: because the artificial marble in the selection of materials for strict screening almost completely eliminated the radiation elements contained in the stone. artificial marble products fully comply with the building materials radiation civil health protection standard GB6566-2001 standard A-class decorative materials requirements.
(3) high strength: artificial marble production process to eliminate all the dark cracks, fissures, making it safer in the paving process; after high-tech processing and advanced molding process, so that the strength of artificial marble to strengthen (part of the strength is higher than the same type of natural stone), the original need for more than 20 mm of natural stone to have the strength of 12 mm thick can now. Performance indicators in line with the artificial stone export industry-standard SN/T0308-93. artificial marble products in the factory before polishing wax and regular maintenance after use will greatly slow down the aging process. The practice has confirmed that the artificial marble due to the initial strength is high, more than ten years after its strength dropped by 1/3 still reached more than 80Mpa, the color retention rate is better than the same period of construction of natural marble, fully meet the use of demand.
(4) complete varieties, colorful: can be another shell, glass, lenses, mosaic, etc. as embellishment materials; rich and complete varieties, but also in accordance with customer requirements, the required color manufacturing, and processing, users or design can choose the color varieties according to their own personality and style, interpretation of unique decorative effect.
(5) stable quality: the special manufacturing process of artificial marble, the international leading technology level, so that its products have stable and reliable quality assurance. Compared with ceramic tile, artificial marble has the advantages of multiple renovations, large size, and good flatness; our square molding artificial marble products have the advantages of shaped processing and higher denseness.
(6) Lightweight: 10% lighter than the same natural marble, in line with the requirements of the Chinese Ministry of Construction on the weight-bearing standards for buildings.
(7) Easy to cut, simple installation method: because of the precise size and consistent thickness, so it can be paved by conventional methods, such as playing keel paving, gluing, cement paving, mastic bonding, etc., dry hanging are available. The simple installation method, the flexible paving method is another powerful advantage of artificial marble.
