  • How many kinds of black granite do you know?
    How many kinds of black granite do you know?
    • November 03, 2022

    Black Granite will always provide an unexpected surprises for interior and exterior application.   In the high-end architectural decoration design, the appearance rate of black color is particularly high. Even if many designers have never thought of using black building materials, they will still choose it involuntarily in the end, even if it is only a little - when you complain that it is too monotonous, it can immediately change into unexpected surprises.   Let's take a look at some common black granite varieties! 1.When it comes to black granite, many people immediately think of sesame black G654 granite(oxford granite),it is well-known in the stone business all over the world. As a kind of black natural stone, sesame black is naturally calm, heavy and elegant, so it is very popular among designers and consumers in both domestic and international markets. In high-end real estate and office projects, it is used as stone dry-hanging, kitchen countertops, sculpture&carvings, floors, etc.   The original G654 granite block was closed years ago,we now mainly produce from the stock.But as the quantity is limited,it results in the price is higher.By the way,we also hold some alternative choice,for example G654 Hainan,G654 Anhui etc. Due to the different origins, the prices of sesame black granite materials A and B are quite different, including the common processing methods of sesame black granite, such as tiles,slabs,prefab countertops,curbstone, special-shaped stone, blind spot, curved handwork, small square and so on.     New G654 from Hainan      2.Another popular black granite is black galaxy granite,it is one of the most traded stones in the world. The domestic black galaxy granite are mainly small gold dots and medium gold dots, that is, medium flowers and small flowers. This type of design is more suitable for homes and villas. It can also be used in small stores, washbasins, and food processing areas or table tops.   However, imported black galaxy (mainly imported from India) have relatively large golden dots and few small flowers. This type is more suitable for large-scale projects and hotel decoration,also more suitable for kitchen countertops fabrication.     3.China Black is the most famous and most productive granite in Hebei. (Later, with the mining and export of other black stone species in China, especially in the black stone mining belt in China, the mining of these similar stone species in Shanxi and Fengzhen, in order to distinguish them, they were named Hebei black and Fuping black after their origin. Shanxi mine Named Shanxi black, and Fengzhen Mine was named Fengzhen black.)     What is the character of China black granite?   China black granite is with high hardness and high density, and it is said that it will last for thousands of years. In fact, its natural life span is more than that. Do mirror polishing, the luminosity can reach m...

  • Sintered Stone vs Marble: Which Surface Is Better for Countertops, Walls and Commercial Projects?
    Sintered Stone vs Marble: Which Surface Is Better for Countertops, Walls and Commercial Projects?
    • June 26, 2026

      Quick Answer The main decision is not whether sintered stone or marble is universally better. It is whether the project values natural stone character more, or needs stable performance across repeated surfaces. Choose marble when natural veining, real stone value and luxury presentation are more important than maintenance control. Choose sintered stone when the surface must handle stains, cleaning, moisture, heat exposure and repeated commercial use with less maintenance. For B2B projects, consistency is the key difference. Sintered stone is easier to control across countertops, vanity tops, wall panels, dining tables and export orders. For marble-look design, sintered stone is usually more practical. It can deliver a similar visual direction while reducing concerns about water marks, acid etching and batch variation. The final choice should be based on application, fabrication risk and total project cost, not only slab appearance or material price. What Are Sintered Stone and Marble? Sintered stone is an engineered slab made from natural minerals that are compacted and fired under high temperature and pressure. It is designed to be dense, low-porosity and suitable for countertops, walls, furniture and commercial interiors. Marble is a natural metamorphic stone formed over time, with unique veining, color movement and mineral character in every slab. Both materials can create a premium surface, but they serve different project needs. If you need a basic material introduction first, this guide explains what is sintered stone before you compare it with marble by application. Should You Choose Sintered Stone or Marble? Choose Marble If You Need Natural Luxury Marble is the right choice when the project values natural stone identity more than low maintenance. Each marble slab has its own veining, shade variation and mineral depth, which makes it difficult to copy completely. This is why marble remains popular in high-end residential interiors, luxury hotel lobbies, private villas, designer bathrooms and statement feature walls. It is especially suitable for low-touch or decorative areas where the surface does not face heavy staining, frequent food preparation or aggressive cleaning. A marble wall, fireplace surround, reception desk or bathroom accent can provide a level of natural elegance that engineered surfaces may imitate visually but cannot fully replace in material identity. However, marble requires realistic expectations. It is naturally porous and sensitive to acidic contact, so sealing, careful cleaning and regular maintenance are part of the ownership cost. For clients who accept this maintenance in exchange for natural beauty, marble still has strong value. Choose Sintered Stone If You Need Practical Performance Sintered stone is usually better when the project needs a durable, stable and low-maintenance surface. It is commonly used for kitchen countertops, island tops, bathroom vanity tops, restaurant tables, wall panels and hotel ...

  • Why does marble have
    Why does marble have "color difference"?
    • October 18, 2022

      Natural stone is rich in color, a lot changes, and delicate in texture,especially for natural marble stone. It is the charm of trillions of years' accumulation, and it is the original picture that nature has given us.In the past few decades, people with "obsessive-compulsive disorder" really didn't have much affection for color difference. Many people like a regular, single and simple design. When encountering the stone color difference, people are always eager to eliminate the color difference, or hope to choose a stone with less color difference. However, there is no two identical stones in the world. Because of this, the natural color difference will decorate the architectural space with more personality.     But to designers, the stone with color difference is actually a treasure. Color difference engineering is the highest art in nature. The bigger the color difference, the more precious it is. Make good use of the color difference, and the whole space will bloom with a different style.Many people think that the materials used are of poor quality. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of stone materials.     How is the color difference of natural stone formed? The reason why natural stone has "color difference"?       Reason 1: Surface mines and deep mines Stone is mined from the quarry mine, from top to bottom, from outside to inside. Under the natural environment, the outer layer of stone is more exposed to water, air and sunlight.The stone hidden deep inside, there is no such environment. Therefore, there is a general difference in the color of surface and deep layers.After the deep layer is mined, the stone will also change in a new environment such as sunlight, air, and water, resulting in differences in color. Reason 2: Uneven mineral content The base substance of marble is calcium carbonate. In addition to the basic minerals, various elements and minerals are mixed together to form the ever-changing colors and textures of the stone. Take the stone materials of South America as an example. The geological movement in South America is strong, and the underground is rich in copper ore, iron ore, and various metal minerals. Therefore, the stones produced in South America usually vary greatly in texture and are rich in color.For example,Granite from Brazil is almost with changing big veins. The distribution of various minerals in nature is uneven, otherwise humans would not need to explore for minerals. This unevenness results in differences in the color of the stone. Reason 3: The methods of mining and processing are different The stone mined from the quarry is usually a whole block, and the block needs to be cut into pieces, which are called stone slabs. In the processing of blocks, there are different cutting directions. This kind of processing difference cannot be completely avoided even if careful attention is paid during stone processing, and there will be more or less differences in the sl...

  • Why should some stone be reinforced with steel rods?
    Why should some stone be reinforced with steel rods?
    • October 09, 2022

    Let's talk about the questions on steel rods as below.   Why should the stone be reinforced with steel rod? What is the function of the steel rod on the back of stone? What material is used for the steel rod? What is the main reason for the re-rust lesions of steel rods? What are the technical requirements for marble steel rods? Steel rods inserts into the back of Stone, refers to the back of marble (usually marble needs to be back rib), slotting and adding steel bars is a way to strengthen marble to avoid marble breakage. After the stone is cutted into sizes, the thickness is very thin and it is very easy to break. In order to increase the strength of the stone, try to ensure that the stone is not broken during processing, transportation and installation, so as not to affect the overall beauty. What material is used for the steel rod? The materials of bar rods are iron, galvanized, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy and fiber. They have their own characteristics in the reinforcement of marble. The most ideal reinforcement material is stainless steel, which will not rust and has high reinforcement strength, but higher cost. Plastic rods are flexible substances,and the reinforcement strength is not enough when reinforcing some large-sized stones,slender stones, and heavy-quality stones. In these cases,plastic rods cannot be used for reinforcement. Steel rods is widely used for the stone reinforment from the cost and strength.But the problem is steel bar is easy to be rusted  What is the main reason for the re-rust lesions of steel rods? 1. The iron reinforcement bars are eroded by water during stone processing, gradually oxidize and rust, and then migrate to the stone surface through the capillary pores of the stone to form regular rust spots. 2. After the stone is installed, the back reinforcement strip is eroded and rusted by the acid water vapor of the cement in the base of the stone, and migrates to the surface of the stone to form yellow rust spots. The rust caused by the iron rods cannot be completely controlled. Since the pollution source is inside the stone, the stone is eroded by acidic substances and water vapor in the base layer after installation. As the water vapor continues to rise, the pollutants continue to migrate to the surface of the stone to form stubborn rust spots, even if the stone is temporarily restored with rust removal products. Part of the surface is rusted, but the rusted back ribs of the pollution source may continue to rust. The rust spots caused by the iron rods cannot be completely rooted, so it is necessary to strictly control the installation process and the correct selection of materials when the stone is implanted into the reinforcement bars. In order to avoid adverse effects on the stone industry, try not to use iron rods, especially light-colored marble. For marble with many cracks on the surface, the slab must be sealed well. If the surface cracks are not repaired well, the steel will rust aft...
