What are the types of marble countertops? How to divide the types of marble countertops

Marble countertops are widely used. It can be used for cabinet countertops, dining table countertops, bathroom countertops, hotel countertops, etc. It can be said to be a very high-end, high-end luxury countertop product. How is it classified?

Marble is classified by specifications

The specifications and dimensions of marble slabs are allowed to have certain deviations, flatness, and angle tolerances , And marble slabs can be divided into three grades: first-class, first-class, and qualified.

The rules for marble slabs should be divided into shapes. For square marble slabs, the commonly used specifications are 400-600mm, while the small one can reach 300mm, and the large one can have 800-900mm. , But large-size marble slabs are relatively rare, and the marble slabs used in the treads are about 1500 mm, while the narrower skirtings are smaller.

And the specifications of the marble slab can also be cut according to different needs, so it can be analyzed in specific situations like this, and the price of the marble slab depends on the purchase Natural marble slabs are still artificial marble slabs. For these two types, natural marble slabs are more expensive than artificial marble slabs, and marble slabs are graded, so the better the grade. The price of the board is higher.

Classification of artificial marble countertops

Cement-type artificial marble: This kind of artificial marble is bonded with various cements Sand is fine aggregate, broken marble, granite, industrial waste residue, etc. are coarse aggregates, which are made by batching, mixing, molding, pressure steaming, polishing, and polishing, commonly known as terrazzo.

Polyester artificial marble: This kind of artificial marble uses unsaturated polyester as a binder, stirs and mixes with quartz sand, marble, calcite powder, etc., and is cast into a shape, and solidifies under the action of a curing agent. Function, made by demoulding, drying, polishing and other processes. This method is often used in our country to produce artificial marble. Unsaturated polyester has good gloss, light color, and can be adjusted into different bright colors. This resin has low viscosity, is easy to shape, and cures quickly, and can be cured at room temperature.

Composite artificial marble: This artificial marble is composed of inorganic materials and organic polymer materials. After the filler is bonded and molded with inorganic materials, the green body is then immersed in organic monomer to polymerize it under certain conditions. For the board, the bottom layer is made of cheap and stable inorganic materials, and the surface layer is made of polyester and marble powder.

Sintered artificial marble: This kind of artificial marble is made by mixing feldspar, quartz, pyroxene, calcite powder, hematite powder and a small amount of kaolin, etc., using a slurry method to prepare blanks, using a semi-dry pressing method It is formed by sintering at a high temperature of about 1000C in a kiln.

The advantages of marble countertops

1. The marble material is pure natural and has a strong sense of simplicity, gorgeous and beautiful. In this fast-paced society, returning to nature after a busy day is a good way to relieve pressure.

Second, the cost of marble countertops is relatively low, with different designs and colors. The most commonly used countertops cost only 200 yuan to about 500 meters, which are the most economical countertop materials.

3. Marble countertops are highly durable, with outstanding scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, high temperature resistance, and maintenance-free. Good rigidity, high hardness, strong wear resistance, low temperature deformation. There will be no scratches, it is not blocked by constant temperature conditions, and its original physical properties can be maintained at room temperature.

Finally, I will spread a little knowledge for everyone: the size of the marble slab is also a major factor affecting the price of the marble slab. The higher the specification of the marble, The higher the price, the general price of the qualified grade 1220*2440㎜ marble slab is between 320-400 yuan. Of course, the price of this is different in different regions.
