What Is The Difference Between Artificial Granite And Artificial Quartz Stone?

Artificial Granite And Artificial Quartz stone are both man-made stones, they are not natural products like marble or granite.

What Is Artificial Quartz?

Artificial quartz stone slab is a new kind of man made stone synthesized by small quartz sands, and its manufacturing process is done by a set of the most advanced systems. Made of over 90% natural quartz mixed with a super-high-performance resin and a special pigment.

The main material of quartz stone slabs is quartz stone sand, which has no radiation and high hardness, resulting in quartz stone countertops that are scratch-resistant, dirty-resistant, hot-resistant, won’t damage easily, won’t age, are non-toxic, have no radiation, and also have many other characteristics. Artificial quartz stone countertops are colorful and more distinctive, and can be widely used in public buildings (hotels, restaurants, banks, hospitals, exhibitions, laboratories, etc.) and also home decoration (kitchen countertops, dishtops, kitchen and bathroom walls, tables, coffee tables, windowsills, door covers, etc.). It is a non-radioactive, reusable environmental protection, and green building interior decoration material.

What Is Artificial Granite?

Artificial granite is using unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, a stone that is a mix of marble powder, sand, or granite fragments.

Common granite, also known as artificial marble, has two kinds of production methods: press-type production and waste-type production. The former is superior in diagonal and flatness, while the latter is better in uniform color and easy for special-shaped processing, such as cylindrical processing.

What Is Artificial Granite — Artificial Granite

Artificial granite is mainly used for the interior wall and the ground, its physical performance is lower than that of natural stone and quartz stone. When used on the ground, it is easy to produce drums, discoloration, scratches, and other phenomena. And the cleaning of artificial granite is extremely difficult after long-term use. In terms of surface gloss, there is also a large difference with natural stone.
