As quartz bricks are ubiquitous in the market and have a wide range of uses, many designers are not familiar with them. So, what are the differences between quartz bricks and natural stone? Today, I will talk to you about their differences in several aspects.
Quartz brick, also known as ceramic PC brick, ecological imitation stone ceramic PC brick, imitation granite brick, imitation granite paving stone, ecological stone, ecological paving stone, imitation granite PC brick, imitation stone PC brick, etc. Ecological paving stone restores the effect of natural stone and can be customized with special molds based on the surface of natural stone. It is an excellent stone product that integrates decoration and practicality.
Comparison between stone and quartz bricks:
1、 Radioactive
It is well known that the radioactivity is extremely low. Due to the extremely low radioactivity of quartz sand, the radioactivity index of quartz stone used as the main raw material is more than ten times lower than the A-level safety standard, which is completely harmless to the human body. This solves the problem of excessive radioactivity in most natural stones and achieves green environmental protection.
2、 Decorative performance
Stone: From a decorative perspective, stone is a natural material with unique and natural textures, making it superior in decoration. (However, due to environmental restrictions, the mining cost is high.)
Quartz brick: With the development of technology, quartz brick can imitate various types of stone, and even achieve full body, comparable to natural stone in decoration.
3、 Cost aspect
Stone: The price of common hemp stone is about 100 yuan/square meter, but for most rare stones, the price is relatively high, plus shipping and processing, the price is basically above 300 yuan/square meter, which is still quite expensive.
The price of quartz bricks is controllable and the specifications are relatively complete, saving a lot of processing costs.
4、 Post maintenance
Stone: Due to long-term exposure to sunlight and rain outdoors, stone is prone to alkali leaching and loss of luster. In order to maintain its appearance, it needs to be regularly polished and maintained.
Quartz brick: It is basically zero water absorbing, so it does not alkali, absorb dirt, fade, and has good self-cleaning properties. It can be washed and cleaned daily without special maintenance, making it more convenient and worry free.
Overall, quartz bricks are much superior to stone, so you can consider them when choosing.
