How to distinguish between quartz stone and artificial stone?

　　How to distinguish between quartz stone and artificial stone, before answering this question, let me tell you first, in fact, whether it is quartz stone or artificial stone, they are all synthetic materials in the later stage, that is to say, quartz stone is actually a kind of artificial Stone, it is not natural stone. The same is true for artificial stone. Only the characteristics of their raw materials and processing methods are different. Therefore, when we distinguish, we can distinguish according to the following four ratios. 　　(1): Distinguish between raw materials and appearance

　　Distinguish from the raw materials of quartz stone and artificial stone and the appearance of the finished product. This is also the obvious way to distinguish quartz stone from artificial stone. The specific differences are as follows.

　　①: The raw material of quartz stone is our common quartz crystal, which is a natural material. Quartz stone is a plate made of quartz crystal and rubber powder mixed together by pressing or casting. Quartz crystals are transparent or translucent particles, which are very beautiful. Therefore, the plate made of quartz stone gives people the feeling that the brightness is higher.

　　②: Artificial stone. Artificial stone actually corresponds to the use of ordinary natural stone powder or some opaque acrylic material as the main component. It also needs to add glue to it, and finally it is made by pressing. Its surface brightness is not as beautiful as quartz stone, it can be said to be close to dull. 　　(2): Differentiate from the feel

　　Another easiest way to distinguish between quartz stone and artificial stone is to touch it with your hands, and then distinguish these two different stones from the feel. This is also the most commonly used method by many of our friends. The specific resolution method is as follows.

　　①: The quartz stone plate feels cold when we touch it with our hands. It feels like touching a natural stone. Therefore, quartz stone is closer to natural stone, and the touch of quartz stone is also similar to natural stone. So from this point of view, the quality of the material of the quartz stone itself will be better and the hardness will be higher.

　　②: Artificial stone. Since the artificial stone is made of plastic material, we don't feel cold when we touch it. The most obvious feeling is that it is warm and delicate. This feeling is basically the same as when we touch other plastic materials. 　　(3): Differentiate from the price

　　The so-called price distinction means that when we buy quartz stone and artificial stone, we can compare the prices of several manufacturers. Then according to different prices, it is basically possible to judge which kind of stone this kind of stone belongs to. The specific situation is as follows,

　　①: The price of quartz stone is slightly higher. That is, it is more expensive than ordinary artificial stone. For example, the price of quartz stone at this stage is roughly 400 yuan per square meter to 1,000 yuan per square meter. The price difference is due to the brand, specification, size, quality and other requirements of the board.

　　②: The price of artificial stone. The price of artificial stone is indeed much cheaper than that of quartz stone. For example, the price of artificial stone countertops on the market is about 260 yuan per square meter to 900 yuan per square meter. Therefore, the overall price of artificial stone is higher than that of quartz stone. 　　(4): Distinguish from plate to thickness

　　As for artificial stone and quartz stone slabs, their specifications and sizes are basically the same, but the thickness is actually quite different. Especially some quartz stones and artificial stones that are common in the market now have very large differences in thickness. Details are as follows.

　　①: The thickness of quartz stone is relatively thick. For example, the thickness of our most common kitchen countertops is generally above 15 mm, and some have reached 18 mm. Even the high-end reaches 20mm. Therefore, the thickness of quartz stone is relatively thick.

　　②: The thickness of artificial stone is generally thinner than that of quartz stone. For example, the thickness of the most common artificial stone on the market is generally around 11-12 mm. Artificial stone as a whole, this quartz stone is a lower grade. For example, when we buy artificial stone and quartz stone of the same specification, there will basically be a difference of 2 to 3 mm, or even more.

　　Suggestions for selection: ①. As for artificial stone and quartz stone, they are actually suitable for use on kitchen countertops, and they all have the characteristics of high hardness, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc. Therefore, we must pay special attention when purchasing. ②. When we buy quartz stone or artificial stone, our personal point of view is to make more comparisons, see more and touch more, and finally choose the moderately priced one. 　　Conclusion

　　Regarding quartz stone and artificial stone, there are many similarities between the two. It can be said that when used in the kitchen, they have almost no difference in function. So when we buy quartz stone or artificial stone, what we focus on is the overall appearance of these materials. For example, color, luster, and thickness, and finally choose according to the price. In this way, we will basically choose the quartz stone or artificial stone we need.
