  One, Comparing the price: Quartz stone is generally more expensive than artificial stone:

  1. Compared with artificial stone, quartz stone has more expensive processing equipment, fewer manufacturers, and higher ex-factory price.

  2. Better quartz stones are basically in other places. The product chain is: supplier-Shenzhen agent-cabinet factory-end customer, while artificial stone is: supplier-cabinet factory-end customer, and there are many quartz stones. After a link , the price will be more expensive.

  3. For new things or not so old-fashioned compared with artificial stone, the price is not too transparent, and many merchants will give customers higher prices.

  Two, more practical: Quartz stone is better than artificial stone: In terms of specific use, quartz stone hardly needs more maintenance, but artificial stone needs protective use. Looking at the countertop that has been used for a while:

  1. Artificial stone: There are many fine knife marks on the countertop, some slight oil stains, and some parts may have light distortion.

  2. Quartz stone: There will be some black marks on the quartz stone countertop, but they can be quickly wiped off with special sandpaper for quartz stone (because the hardness of quartz stone is harder than that of knives, this trace is the trace left by steel on the surface of quartz stone), and will not There are other questions. Due to the characteristics of its own material, quartz stone determines its high temperature resistance, and the temperature below 300 degrees Celsius will not have any effect on it, that is, it will not deform and break.

  Three, more beautiful than artificial stone: quartz stone is slightly inferior to artificial stone;

  1. For the water retaining at the back of the countertop, the artificial stone can achieve a circular arc transition; because the quartz stone is used as the back retaining water on site, it is directly bonded to the wall of the countertop with special glue for quartz stone.

  2. Seams: Artificial stone can be seamlessly connected; quartz stone will have a faint line, and it is still very difficult to be completely seamless. Generally, when the quartz stone is at the joint, the effect will be better if the joint is washed with Tianna water.

  3. The effect of front water blocking can be close to that of artificial stone, but it is slightly inferior in arc.

  4. Relatively speaking, artificial stone is easier to grind and polish, and the effect is better. It's just that it won't last too long when used compared to artificial stone.

  Four. Compared with installation: artificial stone is faster, and quartz stone dust is relatively less. Now that quartz stone countertops are installed, an additional subsidy will be given to the master for every meter. Because the quartz stone is too heavy, it will take longer to connect the backstop, grind the edge, open the stove hole, etc. on site.
