01 Look at the color and texture of marble

Each piece of natural marble has a unique natural pattern and color. High-quality marble furniture will use a whole piece of stone raw material and make material proportions for different parts. The main parts will have a large area of ​​natural patterns, and the scraps will be used for embellishment in the back of the chair, capital and other parts. Inferior furniture uses scraps when preparing materials, and the surface lacks changes. The first thing to look at when buying marble is the color of the marble. The color of high-quality marble should look comfortable, without plastic or turbidity, and the polished surface looks very shiny. It can reflect the surrounding things like a mirror.

02 The crisper the sound of knocking marble, the better

The hardness of high-quality marble is very good, so we need to test the hardness of marble. Generally speaking, the knocking sound of good quality stone is crisp and pleasant. You can knock two sample stones against each other. If they are not easy to break, it proves that the hardness is good. You can also knock gently with a coin. If the knocking sound is relatively crisp, it means that the marble has a high density and hardness inside, and it has good wear resistance.
Similarly, if the sound is relatively dull, then this piece of marble should be of poor quality, with low internal hardness or even cracks.

03 Transparency of natural marble

Natural marble has high light transmittance. When a lighter or flashlight is used to illuminate the back of the marble, the light transmittance is high.
We all know that natural marble has rich textures and colors, and will present different decorative effects in different styles and layouts. On the other hand, because it has its own light transmission performance, the rich patterns and colorful colors will produce a bright visual effect under light.

04 Differences between natural marble and artificial marble

The color and texture of natural marble are naturally formed. Each piece is unique, with irregular changes and textures, and the color also has certain changes and transitions. On the contrary, the texture of artificial marble is more regular and uniform, and the color is more uniform and monotonous.
Natural marble is superior in appearance and quality. Natural marble has better gloss and texture, better durability, and if it is well maintained, the more it is used, the more glossy it is. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive. Artificial marble is cheaper, but it is not as glossy as natural marble, and the texture is more dull, which is more suitable for owners who like matte. Sticker marble is made of inferior marble as the base, and the surface is sticker or stone. Artificial marble has poor transparency, low hardness, and is afraid of scratches, heat, and coloring.

05 Check the marble slab

Marble is naturally formed, and each slab is different. The sample is only a part and cannot represent the overall effect. It is recommended to go to the factory to see the large slab after you have taken a fancy to the sample, so that you can judge the quality of the slab more intuitively.

The first thing to look at when buying marble is the color of the marble. The color of high-quality marble should look comfortable, without plastic or turbidity, and the polished surface should look very shiny. It can reflect the surrounding objects like a mirror.

06 Check the layout effect diagram

Both parties confirm the layout effect and confirm whether the defective texture is avoided. If the defective texture is found, it can be replaced in time. Confirm whether it is a right-matching or a random texture, etc., so as to avoid errors during installation and cause secondary rework. Professional factories are equipped with on-site layout, so that you can see the effect after paving on site. Without the layout diagram, it is impossible to avoid the defective texture in time and affect the overall effect.
Professional marble suppliers will give you a marble layout effect diagram based on your home design.
They will scan the texture of the board you choose, and then design different pattern paving orders according to the actual situation, and then come up with a paving effect diagram. This is also very important. Marble cannot be paved at will. How to match the texture and connect the texture is directly related to the paving effect, so be sure to check the marble layout effect diagram.

07 Ask clearly about the price structure

There are two types of marble prices. You should ask clearly whether it is the finished product price or the large slab price. The difference between the two is huge. Large slabs need to go through waterproof adhesive, water-based protection, reinforced cutting, layout loss, and mirror care before they can become finished products. The price difference can be imagined.
