When renovating a newly bought house, should I choose natural marble or marble tiles? Many people are in a dilemma about this issue. Natural marble is precious and rare, but natural marble resources are not inexhaustible. Moreover, the collection process of natural marble will cause irreversible damage to the environment to a large extent.

Natural marble itself contains radioactive substances such as radon, so natural marble is likely to have an adverse effect on human health. Secondly, natural marble has extremely low density, high water absorption, easy to seep and scratch, and other fatal defects, while marble tiles have completely overcome all the fatal defects of natural marble.

After the above analysis, the answer to whether to use natural marble or marble tiles for the decoration of new houses is obvious.

What are the important characteristics of marble tiles?

① Marble tiles-strong texture

Marble tiles are transparent and heavy, with clear layers. Touching the surface of the product feels warm and smooth, and delicate and bumpy. Each marble tile will have the texture and tactile effect of natural stone.

②Marble tiles – natural colors

Due to technical limitations, most companies produce marble tiles limited to the gray-yellow series, while high-quality marble tile products have natural texture and color transitions, and the texture layers are not stiff.

③Marble tiles – realistic texture

The surface effect of marble tiles is almost the same as natural marble, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. The texture is smooth and the transition is natural. When purchasing marble tiles, you can carefully check the texture of the product to see if the texture is natural and beautiful.

④Marble tiles – good paving effect

When purchasing marble tiles, you must also consider the continuity and integrity of large-area paving. The color and pattern of marble tiles are the restoration of natural stones, but the integrity of natural marble is not available in tiles, because the texture of each piece of natural marble is different, so it depends on the final paving effect.

Life, artistic conception

Marble tiles abandon the fragile and brittle properties of natural marble. In terms of product hardness, marble tiles are hard and wear-resistant. Marble tiles not only revive tiles and give them life, but also return to the original appearance of natural marble. Only with awe can we be fearless. Marble tiles are not only infinite awe of the life of nature, but also a kind of artistic conception of ceramic people’s pursuit of product perfection.

Rich layers

The texture layers on the surface of marble tile products are staggered and orderly. Each texture contains the magic of nature. The rich texture presentation and color seem to be interpreting one grand decorative banquet after another. The rich texture effect meets people’s demand for perfect decoration.

Delicate texture

With the support of exquisite ceramic technology and top ceramic equipment, marble tiles not only have the hard physical properties that tiles should have, but also create the delicate texture effect of marble tile products. The delicate texture of marble tiles also gives the product itself more expressiveness.

Harmony

Marble tile is one of many tile categories. However, tile is the art of earth and fire. In the past, harmony was difficult to achieve in many tile product categories, but marble tile has achieved the appropriateness of many relevant parameters of tile, and it is the ultimate harmony.

Smooth, harmonious, pure, soft

Marble tile products are the ultimate symbol of precision. Each marble tile product is so smooth, so harmonious, and very pure, and even soft.

Harmony between man and nature

Marble tiles are highly decorative and can perfectly build various home application spaces and scenes. The shocking decorative effect not only gives people endless visual enjoyment, but also achieves a very good integration of people and the environment.

Realism

In terms of the nature of tiles, marble tiles are a type of tiles that imitate natural stones. Realism is the first parameter for selecting marble tiles. Emphasizing its realism, comparing tiles with natural marble, on the premise of removing impurities, the one with high similarity is better.

Repeatability

The characteristics of marble tiles are their inherent uniqueness and uncertain changes in direction. In order to avoid the rigidity of space caused by repeated textures, the stone patterns on tiles should be as non-repetitive as possible. Take a few boxes of tiles and lay them on the ground to see if the patterns are repeated. The lower the repetition, the better the decorative effect.

High Definition

Imported inkjet printers are important equipment for manufacturing marble tiles. High-precision inkjet printing technology can perfectly restore the natural color of natural stone, which is real and three-dimensional: the picture must be at least 360DPI high-precision printing. On-site identification of whether the pattern is clear, and the naked eye cannot see the grid or wire at a distance of 10cm from the tile. High quality.

Vitrification

Tiles with low water absorption are not easy to absorb dirt and have better quality. Good marble tiles should have extremely low water absorption, high vitrification, strong bricks, and not easy to seep water: the water absorption should be less than 0.5%. You can try to drop water on the back of the tile. The water soaks slowly or does not absorb water, the better the quality of the tile.

Hardness

As a tile, it is inevitable to avoid various frictions or collisions in daily household use. Hardness is also one of the most important factors of marble tiles. In order to avoid tiles being easily damaged, durable marble tiles should have a higher hardness: the Mohs hardness needs to be ≧6. When a blade or other hard iron tool is used to scratch the surface of the tile on site, no scratches are left, indicating high quality.

Mass density

Mass density is closely related to the weight of marble tiles. When the size is equal, the heavier the weight of the tile means the thicker the quality of the tile, the more sufficient the material, and the higher the density.
