Raw Material of Engineered Marble Stone: Natural Marble+Resin

Artificial marble differs from natural marble in terms of geological activities. It is a human-made creation built from small marble debris, stone powder, quartz, sand, colophony, plastic, cement, and acrylic glue, mixed in a predetermined ratio. The concoction is stirred vigorously under vacuum and then kept under high pressure in a mould, to solidify, and form hard marble rocks.

Hardness: 7 Mohs

Heat Resistant: 300℃

Flatness: <0.1mm

Density: 2.4~2.6g/cm3

Compared with natural marble,what is the difference of artificial marble on color pattern,maintenance,price, weight and installation?

Colour Patterns:

Natural marble has varied colours depending upon the presence of impurities in the limestone. Artificial marble, on the contrary, has versatile colour and patterns, which enhances selection diversity. The colours are artificially added and often lack the natural colour, texture, grain, and shine of natural marble

Maintenance:

Natural marble is a precious stone with a high maintenance cost. It is a hard but brittle stone and can become discoloured or chipped after a span. So, often it is recommended to have it resealed every six months. The owners of natural marble must avoid spilling oil, acidic substances, or cleaners that are not compatible with the marble as it can damage the stone.

Cultured/ artificial marble, on the other hand, is a non-porous substance that requires lower maintenance and upkeep. The process of creating artificial marble makes it resistant to oil, stains, and discolouration. Even regular cleaners are compatible with artificial marbles.

Price:

Natural marble is expensive as this is a premium stone whose cutting, quarrying, and availability make it costly. On the contrary, artificial marble is less expensive as it can be easily created in a quarry with a mix of few elements and solidified in a mould.

Weight:

As compared to the natural marble, the cultured marbles are comparatively slimmer and lighter, thereby enabling portability with ease. Its light-weight makes it easier to install and enhances cost savings.

Installation:

Being a hard stone, natural marble requires a skilled workforce for installation, or else it leads to curling, cracking, discolouration, and popping of marble veins. However, cutting, installing, and adjusting artificial marble is hassle-free as these are less fragile.
