One, Is it good to use marble for home renovation?
Using natural marble in home renovation is a good option, but natural marble production is now very limited. Most of the natural marble available in the market is artificial marble. When using artificial marble, there is a very important issue to consider: artificial marble uses certain chemical raw materials during the manufacturing process, so the chemical residues and pollutants released after production are a major concern. However, compared to natural marble, artificial marble is significantly more expensive. Therefore, if your budget is limited, we recommend using other flooring materials instead of marble.
II. Characteristics of Marble
1、Non-deforming: The rock, after long-term natural aging, has a uniform structure and extremely low coefficient of linear expansion, resulting in complete elimination of internal stresses and no deformation.
2、High Hardness: Excellent rigidity, high hardness, strong abrasion resistance, and minimal deformation at different temperatures.
3、Long Service Life: Does not require oiling, is resistant to dust adhesion, and is easy to maintain, resulting in a long service life.
4. Won't cause scratches: Remains stable under ambient conditions and maintains its original physical properties at room temperature.
5、Non-magnetic: Smooth and free-moving, without any sticking or resistance, unaffected by moisture, and with accurate flatness. Physical Properties: Density 2970-3070 kg/m3; Compressive Strength: 2500-2600 kg/cm2; Elasticity: 1.3-1.5 × 106 kg/cm2; Absorption Rate.
Three. Advantages and Disadvantages of Marble
(1) Advantages of Marble
1、The stone structure is dense and has high compressive strength.
2. Excellent decorative effect. Natural stone has a natural texture, a heavy and imposing aesthetic.
3、Due to long-term natural aging, the rock has a uniform structure and a very low coefficient of linear expansion, making it resistant to deformation.
4、Excellent rigidity, high hardness, strong abrasion resistance, and minimal deformation at different temperatures.
5. Resistant to dust adhesion, easy to maintain and care for, long service life, and can last for over 100 years.
6. Non-magnetic, smooth and easy to move during measurement, free from sticking or resistance, unaffected by moisture, and with accurate flatness.
(ii) Defects of Marble
1、Due to its natural origin, there may be color variations.
2、Excessively hard, with insufficient elasticity, prone to cracking.
3、Susceptible to contamination，Requires a specific environment.。
