What advantages does microcrystalline stone have compared to natural stone?

Microcrystalline stone has the following advantages compared to natural stone:

Low radioactivity, more environmentally friendly;

Small color difference, can maintain color consistency, more aesthetically pleasing;

Low water absorption, strong corrosion resistance, no maintenance required;

High gloss, anti-slip and easy to clean.

　　What advantages does microcrystalline stone have compared to "artificial marble"?

Microcrystalline stone has the following advantages compared to "artificial marble":

High hardness, great strength, not easy to scratch, not easy to break;

High temperature resistance, long service life, not easy to deform and age;

Corrosion resistance, easy to clean, not easy to pollute;

Inorganic materials, more environmentally friendly than organic artificial marble, beneficial to human health;

High gloss, elegant and beautiful like jade;

Under natural conditions, it does not fade.

What are the differences in construction between microcrystalline stone and stone?

Wall construction, column installation is completely consistent with stone; floor wet paste is slightly different from stone:

1. Different materials: The cement grade must be less than 325; volcanic ash, slag, and early strength fast-hardening cement are prohibited.

2. Different processes: The base must be gridded to leave expansion joints, with a groove depth greater than 20mm and width greater than 30mm; add 5-7% sawdust or vermiculite to the mortar and plain gray; use medium sand for the mortar.

What issues should users of microcrystalline stone be reminded of?

For venues with high foot traffic, it is recommended that customers use beige or honeysuckle, and try to avoid using white series microcrystalline stone;

Electrical and gas welding operations cannot be performed directly on the exposed surface of microcrystalline stone walls and floors; the surface must be covered during operations to prevent burn marks.

It is especially reminded that first-time users of microcrystalline stone should follow the construction methods provided by the manufacturer.

What are the differences in the intrinsic quality of microcrystalline stone? Why are there high and low prices?

Due to different raw material formulas used by various manufacturers to produce microcrystalline stone, the proportion of crystalline and glassy phases varies, directly affecting the strength of the microcrystalline stone. Boards with more glassy phases are prone to breakage during cutting and drilling, resulting in poorer intrinsic quality. This phenomenon is mainly due to the different amounts of nucleating agents, potassium, sodium, aluminum oxide, etc., in the raw materials. Generally speaking, microcrystalline stone materials that are prone to breakage have lower energy consumption costs, thus their prices are relatively cheap.
