Natural marble chips are combined with a mixture of resins and colors to create artificial marble, also known as engineered stone. These parts are compressed and heated to create slabs or tiles that resemble natural marble in appearance and texture.
The excellent durability of quartz artificial marble is one of its main benefits. Engineered stone is designed to be extremely resistant to impact, scratches, and stains, unlike natural marble, which is vulnerable to cracks and chipping.Artificial stone can be applied to countertops, cupboard tops in the kitchen, dining table surfaces, and furniture. Natural stone may not be best suited for the above items as it does not allow a way for bending.
Artificial stone being lighter and thinner, is more resistant to corrosion and stains. It has a glossy effect and hence can be applied to walls and floors as well.
When it comes to outdoor areas (like gardens for instance) that are exposed to moisture and areas where footfall is high, artificial marble is the best option. Also in areas like bathrooms or kitchens where there is a chance of water spillage, artificial marbles are best suited. Want to know more, contact us, we are an artificial marble manufacturer.
