Marble or Quartz: understand the difference

December 12, 2020aliacetrefliBlog PostNo comments

Marble or Quartz: Main differences

Firstly, it is important to note that both marble and quartz are stones with a design that can vary from traditional to more innovative models, depending on your preference and style.

However, it is very important to know more about the differentials of each one of them so that when choosing between marble or quartz , you already have in mind what you want to get right on that choice. Therefore, check below the main differences between marble and quartz.

Marble

Marble is one of the most traditional stones in civil construction. It cannot be used to coat external walls , as this stone has a high porosity, which makes it more susceptible to the appearance of scratches and stains.

In addition, this characteristic of marble also prevents its use in environments such as the kitchen, for example, because due to its high porosity, it ends up retaining a greater amount of dirt compared to Quartz.

Marble tends to be lighter than quartz and for this reason it is widely used in renovations that involve the lining of internal walls and bathrooms. Its smooth lines allow a dazzling effect that combines with various types of decoration.

Quartz

The quartz is a stone that has a higher durability compared to marble. It also presents a greater variety of colors and styles on the market, ideal for those looking for something different and innovative, that adds value, but at the same time conveys their personality within an environment.

One of its differentials is the low porosity, which prevents the accumulation of dirt and also makes this stone resistant to stains and scratches. Due to this characteristic, Quartz ends up being a very viable option to be used in the kitchen or in any other indoor or outdoor environment, except for wall cladding, as it is heavier than most stones traditionally used in civil construction .

Conclusion on marble or quartz

Now that you know a little about each of these stones, it is easier to choose between marble or granite to use in the renovation of your home and thus guarantee an environment with a beautiful, pleasant aspect and that is your taste.
