Marble is one of the most common decorative building materials. People often choose marble, which is easy to process and durable, and slate, a new building material, has only been used in recent years. How is it different from marble? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Marble is naturally mined and has an authentic but unstable texture; due to its natural properties, there are cracks, blisters, stains, etc. The limestone inside is too easy to absorb water and will lose its luster over time. As a natural material, sintered stone is produced by industrial equipment, with high stability and the same appearance as the product. Marble is naturally formed, with large porosity, and stains are easy to penetrate; the Mohs hardness is 2.5-5, and it is easy to be scratched or embossed.

The advantages of marble: Natural marble has a dense texture but not much hardness, and is easy to process, engrave, polish, and polish. After the marble is polished, it is smooth and delicate, the texture is natural and smooth, and it has a high decorative effect. Marble has low water absorption, high durability and wear resistance.

Marble: Mainly used for processing into various shapes and slabs as walls, floors, platforms and pillars of buildings. Also commonly used in monumental buildings, such as monuments, towers, statues, etc. Marble can also be carved into handicrafts, stationery, lamps, utensils and other practical works of art. Soft texture, beautiful and solemn, elegant style. It is an ideal material for decorating luxurious buildings and a traditional material for artistic carving.

Sintered stone: Sintered stone belongs to artificial stone and is a new type of building material. Its main feature is that it is densely sintered and made of stone. Its components are mainly quartz, feldspar and oxides that provide raw materials such as color. After being pressed at a high pressure of 400bar, fired at a high temperature above 1200°C, combined with NDD technology, a specific texture effect can be achieved.

The sintered stone is pressed by a tonnage press and has a Mohs hardness of up to 7. U grade corrosion resistance, mildew proof; zero formaldehyde food grade surface, high density.

The advantages of slate: ultra-thin, large volume, strong formability, various colors, anti-fouling and durable, fireproof and high temperature resistance...

Sintered stone: Mainly used in the field of home and kitchen boards. Including the application of plates such as dining tables, coffee tables, cabinets, washbasins, and tea trays.
