Since the natural stone and the tile after cutting are similar in appearance, price, function, etc., many people think that there is not much difference between the two. In fact, both the nature of the product and the decorative effect, there are essential differences between the two, today, we will take a look at the comparative advantages of stone and ceramic tiles in architectural decoration.
First, the nature of the product stone is more natural, after cutting, polishing, only the shape or shape has changed, and the material itself has not changed. Tiles are made of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides, which are formed by grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering to form an acid-resistant porcelain or stone material. The raw materials are mostly made of clay, quartz sand, etc., which are artificial stones produced after chemical changes, and are new substances formed by chemical reaction of sand, stone and mud.
Second, the price comparison After buying ceramic tiles, you can find workers to pave at home, but natural stone needs to be processed before laying on the ground, so many customers think that the price of artificial stone is more expensive than ceramic tiles. In fact, taking a beige natural stone from Africa as an example, after processing, the price is about 700 yuan per square meter, and a domestic tile with similar color texture is priced at 620 yuan per square meter. Therefore, the prices of the two are actually not much different.
III. Practicality Comparison Stone has superior durability and durability. It has been the most important architectural and decorative material since ancient times. Most of the world's best preserved ancient buildings are stone buildings. Tiles have weak impact resistance and are easily broken: whether it is in production, transportation, installation or use, the tiles are very easy to break and the loss is large. This is determined by the nature of its own materials and cannot be changed.
In addition, the tiles are also prone to wear. Usually, after the tiles are laid, the wear of the seams in the home is about 6 months. The surface of the tiles will have different degrees of wear on the surface of the tiles for 8-12 months. Generally, the seam wear will occur in 2-3 months, and the tiles will wear to varying degrees within 6 months. In terms of wear resistance, stone products are also far superior to ceramic tiles.
Fourth, the color difference compared to natural stone due to its natural, the color difference is relatively obvious, and the surface texture of natural stone is not rich in tiles, but the natural stone paving effect looks natural, this is unmatched by the tile.
Tiles are made by post-manufacturing, which avoids chromatic aberration to a certain extent, but even the best tiles have chromatic aberration, which is an unavoidable problem, mainly because of the limitations of raw materials and production processes.
V. Comparison of shape and precision Stone can be shaped according to different requirements. Because of the specification requirements, the limitation of shape production is relatively large. In addition, in the production process, the length error of each side is large due to temperature changes or limitations of equipment and processes. (Detection method: the length will be different when the diagonal is used.)
6. Comparison of thermal expansion coefficient Most of the stone takes natural, the physical and chemical properties are very stable, the coefficient of thermal expansion is small, and the deformation variation of the product rarely occurs due to temperature changes.
The thermal expansion coefficient of the tile is relatively large, which is easy to cause deformation of the product, especially in the winter, the phenomenon of tile arching is prone to occur.
VII. Comparison of safety: The surface treatment process of the tile makes the friction generated during use very small, so it is very slippery; if the tile is oily, it will be more slippery. The number of elderly and children who fall because of slippery tiles every year is countless, and some are even disabled. Even a young man with agility can sometimes fall and fall - the tiles are too slippery.
In comparison, although the stone products are not as smooth as tiles, they are very suitable for living and walking without safety hazards.
Eight, decorative feelings in the decorative effect, every tiled unit and family all have a deep understanding of the coolness of the tiles in the winter! Therefore, there are many people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, not to mention the original suffering Old people with rheumatoid arthritis suffer bitter in the cold and long winter.
Good stone is like "Jade" in general, so-called "Wenrun as jade". For good stone products, after decoration, people can feel warm in winter and cool in summer.
