How to distinguish artificial stone and quartz stone on the counter top

When consumers encounter a need to replace the damage to the countertop, they face the problem of uneven market. If you change it yourself, the variety of artificial stone on the market makes it difficult for consumers to choose. The quality of artificial stone countertops is difficult to judge. Although quartz stone and artificial stone are more common, the two stones of the same pattern are put together, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see the difference.

According to Hu Zhongxin, secretary-general of the China Household Building Materials Decoration Association, the standard for the “artificial stone” mentioned in the decoration industry is JC 908-2002 “Solid Surface Material”. The standard specifies the definition of solid surface materials, materials, product classification, requirements, test methods, inspection rules and packaging, marking, transportation and storage. Industry insiders reminded that there are indeed irregularities in artificial stone countertops. Most of the markets are not able to produce specific certificates and reports while displaying stone.

How to buy

Faced with a mixed market of fish and dragons, the purchase of artificial stone countertops requires a pair of "eyes". Start by identifying other people's stone and quartz. Artificial stone and quartz stone are difficult to distinguish, and merchants usually introduce which are artificial stone and which are quartz stone. But in order to avoid being fooled by some unscrupulous businesses, we still have to rely on our own "eyes of fire." Quartz stone is harder than artificial stone, so artificial stone countertops are also easy to draw traces. Although quartz stone is also a kind of artificial stone, it has 92% quartz crystal, which is high-purity silica, so it has stronger hardness, more anti-wear, anti-scratch and anti-collision. Consumers can take the key that they carry with them, and draw a trace on the back of the sample stone. The traces are made of artificial stone, and the quartz stone is not drawn. In addition, when two quartz stones are beaten, there will be a burning taste.

Second, pay attention to the brand and price when buying. The brands that have been artificial stone for a long time include DuPont, Corian, etc. The quality of the stones of these big brands is relatively guaranteed. And some small brands in the quality, including the overall color, environmental protection, etc. are difficult to guarantee, let alone some unbranded stone. In terms of price, the price of medium artificial stone is about 1,000 yuan per meter, while the quartz stone of the same grade is 200-300 yuan more expensive. If the price given by the merchant is less than 1,000 yuan, there is even a discount, or as long as 200-300 yuan, it is recommended not to buy. Because artificial stone is made of stone powder and acrylic glue, and low-priced inferior products, stone powder is used in large quantities for cost saving, and the things resting on it will soon infiltrate, causing troubles in use.

Finally, when buying stone, try to compare the manufacturer and product ingredients as much as possible. Try to ask the seller to show the test report and after-sales voucher for the product.
