Inside each family’s decoration, we are most concerned about the design and layout of the kitchen, and the kitchen countertops is a good place to highlight the family’s taste, so today to give you a comparison of the three commonly used in the kitchen countertops stone, they are (Natural Stone), (Quartz Stone) and (Sintered Stone).
First of all to introduce you to the production of these three kinds of stone, natural marble is purely natural a stone, stone manufacturers can dig to what kind of stone, will be cut out of the stone, and then directly with the end. Quartz stone is made of quartz powder coupled with organic adhesives fired into, in simple terms is actually stone powder with glue together into an artificial quartz stone. And sintered stone it is a new type of porcelain material, it is made of silica, feldspar powder, quartzite and clay, after 30,000 tons of press to press and then through the high temperature of more than 1200 degrees of firing and become.
First, in terms of aesthetics, marble needless to say, its pattern is certainly the most beautiful, the texture is also unique, no piece of pattern is there will be a chance of repetition. And quartzite and sintered stone because they are artificially produced, so that their texture pattern is certainly the possibility of repetition. And generally the better the producer of their pattern texture will be relatively more, including in different angles of a pattern articulation will be better. Sintered stone and quartzite in the pattern of clarity on the presentation of different, quartzite is to take the stone powder plus glue and become, so that its clarity is a certain limitation, while the sintered stone is the maximum degree of retention of the clarity of the pattern. So in terms of aesthetics, natural marble > sintered stone > Quartz stone
In terms of abrasion resistance, the abrasion resistance of sintered stone is level 7, while level 1 is the abrasion resistance of chalk, level 10 is the abrasion resistance of diamonds, and level 7 is the highest abrasion resistance that so many materials on the market can get. So at this point sintered stone > quartz stone > natural marble.
Comparison of water absorption rate, generally the lower the water absorption rate, the higher the density of the material. Sintered stone has a water absorption rate of 0.1%-0.5%, quartzite has a water absorption rate of 0.2–2%, and natural marble has a water absorption rate of between 1%-8%. So of these three materials rock slabs have a higher density and lower water absorption, so sintered stones will also have much better antimicrobial properties than marble. Because of the low water absorption and high density, water molecules are not easy to penetrate into the material, which is not easy to harbor bacteria and easier to clean.
High temperature resistance, this point is very obvious sintered stone won, sintered stone production will be through more than 1200 high temperature firing stereotypes, so it is very high temperature resistance, you can directly in the sintered stone barbecue food are no problem. But the other two materials will not dare to guarantee a long time barbecue will not be a problem.
After the above aspects of the comparison, you have a general understanding of the three kinds of stone
