The difference between granite and marble 1: price difference Although granite and marble are both high-end stone products, the prices of the two are very different. The granite has a single pattern, little color change, and poor decoration. The advantage is that it is durable, not easy to be damaged, and will not be dyed, and it is mostly used outdoors. The granite ranges from tens of yuan to several hundred yuan. The rough surface is cheaper, and the smooth surface is more expensive. The texture of marble is smooth and delicate, and the texture is rich in variety. The fine works have charming patterns like landscape paintings. Marble is an artistic stone. The price of marble ranges from hundreds of yuan to several thousand yuan, and the price of different qualities varies greatly depending on the place of origin.

The difference between granite and marble 2: The characteristics of stone The way to distinguish marble and granite with the naked eye is to look at their patterns. Yes, there are patterns on granite and marble, but because the two types of stone are essentially different, granite is a kind of igneous rock, and marble is metamorphic rock, so the difference in patterns is obvious. The pattern of marble is rich in variety, the line pattern is smooth and freehand, and the color changes are rich. The patterns of granite are all spots, without obvious pattern formation, and they are relatively simple. The hardness of granite is medium-hard, while marble is a soft stone, not as hard as granite. But this also leads to limited plasticity of granite, while marble is easy to process and is more widely used in decorative design.

Most of the natural stone with patterns seen indoors is marble, while the spotted natural stone on the outdoor pavement is granite. Why is there such an obvious place distinction? The reason is that granite is wear-resistant, acid-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can be used for a long time even in wind and sun. In addition, granite is divided into three categories according to the radioactive level: A products can be used in any occasion, including office buildings and family rooms; B products have higher radioactivity than A, and cannot be used for interior interior surfaces of rooms, but can be used for other The interior and exterior surfaces of all buildings; Class C products have higher radioactivity than Class A and Class B, and can only be used on the exterior surfaces of buildings; Natural stone that exceeds the standard control value of Class C can only be used for seawalls, bridge piers and Other uses such as stele.
