The difference between artificial stone and quartz stone

 

1. Different raw materials

 

Artificial stone: It is a mineral-filled polymer composite material made of natural ore powder, acrylic, high-performance resin and natural pigments through vacuum casting or compression molding.

 

Quartz stone: It is made of about 93% quartz crystal particles, plus pigment, resin, glue and antibacterial agent, and then made under vacuum, high temperature and high pressure.

2. Plasticity

 

Artificial stone: There are almost no design restrictions, unlimited creativity and unlimited performance.

 

Quartz stone: It uses a higher content of quartz crystal as the main structure to make the texture harder and more compact, not easy to make special shapes, and its plasticity is lower than that of artificial stone.

 

Three, stain resistance, scratch resistance

 

Artificial stone: easy to produce scratches, easy to bleed, pay attention to maintenance when using.

 

Quartz stone: It has the characteristics of wear resistance, scratch resistance and anti-permeability that other materials can't match.

 

Four, repairability

 

Artificial stone: After damage, it can be repaired by repairing, grinding and polishing to prolong the service life.

 

Quartz stone: Because of the hardness of quartz stone, once an exception is made, it is not as easy to repair as artificial stone. Under normal circumstances, the quartz stone does not need to be taken care of.

 

Five, heat resistance

 

Artificial stone: It is not heat-resistant or high-temperature resistant. It is recommended not to put heat-producing utensils directly on the surface, and heat insulation pads can be used.

 

Quartz stone: Although it is more heat-resistant than ordinary materials, for long-term use, it is recommended not to put heat-generating utensils directly on the surface, and heat insulation pads can be used.

 

Six, price

 

The price of quartz stone countertops is more expensive than the price of artificial stone countertops.
