Quartz VS marble, who is more cost-effective? Who is more suitable for stylized decoration? How to choose?
At present, stone is widely used in decoration, and different stone materials have different effects in decoration. Many people choose between marble and quartz when purchasing decorative stone.
But what is the difference between marble and quartz stone? How to choose decoration stone? What are the hazards of natural marble and artificial quartz? Today, I will help you to analyze in detail how to choose the most suitable stone for us!
Marble Features
❶ No deformation
Generally speaking, rock has undergone long-term natural aging, so it has a relatively uniform structure, a small expansion coefficient, and has the characteristics of no deformation.
❷ High hardness
Marble has good rigidity and high hardness, and is relatively wear-resistant.
The temperature change is also relatively small, it is not easy to be corroded, and it can maintain its original physical properties even at high temperatures.
❸ Wide distribution of resources
Marble resources are widely distributed and are often convenient for large-scale mining and industrial processing.
❹Long service life
The maintenance of marble is relatively simple, and it has a long service life, no scratches, and is not affected by temperature. It can also maintain its physical properties at room temperature.
The organization is meticulous, the impacted grains fall off, and the surface does not have burrs, which does not affect its plane accuracy.
❺ Not magnetized
The marble can move freely during measurement without astringent feeling, and will not be affected by temperature.

Quartz Stone Features
❶High hardness, scratch resistance
The shiny and bright surface of quartz stone has undergone more than 30 complex polishing processes, which will not be scratched by knives and shovels.
❷ Not easy to penetrate
Quartz stone is a dense and non-porous composite material manufactured under vacuum conditions. Its quartz surface has good corrosion resistance to acid and alkali in the kitchen.
❸ High temperature resistance
Quartz stone made of natural quartz is completely flame retardant and will not burn due to exposure to high temperature. It also has high temperature resistance characteristics that artificial stone and other countertops cannot match.
❹Smooth surface, no radiation
The surface of quartz stone is smooth, flat and free of scratches and retention. The dense and non-porous material structure makes bacteria have no place to hide, and it can be in direct contact with food, which is safe and non-toxic.
Quartz Stone Disadvantages
❶The production process of quartz stone is complicated.
❷ Difficult to repair. Due to the high strength and density of quartz stone, once it is damaged, it is difficult to repair.
◈Summary·Selection
The choice of stone for different purposes should be made according to its performance.
▷Quartz stone has strong anti-fouling ability, easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, high-strength impact resistance, suitable for kitchen countertops, bathrooms and other places prone to stains.
Marble has color difference, high radiance, holes inside, and easy to mold, so it is rarely used on kitchen countertops or places with oil.
▷Marble is bright in color, rich in color, cool to the touch, natural in texture, and has luster. Its material and color are quartz stone, which cannot be produced by artificial stone.
Marble is suitable for high-grade decoration styles, suitable for interior wall and floor decoration, and its service life is generally about 50-80 years.
Finally, money is also an important factor to consider. Because marble countertops are relatively expensive, it is not recommended to choose marble countertops if you are looking for economic benefits.
