Industry sources say that stone has more advantages than ceramic tiles

Spring is the peak season for home improvement, and all kinds of home building materials are debuted as “PK”. The reporter recently visited a number of building materials markets in Hefei, randomly interviewed a number of building materials dealers and citizens preparing home improvement, and found a strange phenomenon: more used for engineering decoration (referred to as "tooling") of the stone, in the family home decoration decoration (referred to as "home improvement "" is not favored.

"I think the floor of the living room and dining room is still tiled. It is very expensive to shop marble and quartz stone. Otherwise, why wouldn't there be any shop?" said Mr. Liu, who is preparing to decorate his new house.

Su Xiaojun, who is engaged in sales of ceramic tiles and stone materials at the Hefei East China International Building Materials Center, told reporters that there are very few stones used in home improvement. Only stone, floating window tops, kitchen countertops, etc. are made of quartz stone or marble. In the past, the use of stone in home improvement is still very common, and later, due to the existence of natural stone misunderstanding radiation, quartz stone and other artificial synthetic stone prices are higher, the amount of stone in the home improvement gradually reduced, only the kitchen countertops, sill, etc. with stone And most of the walls in the living room, dining room floor and kitchen and toilet are made of ceramic tiles.

“At the same price, even if the stone works better, many people will still choose to decorate the floor and wall with tiles.” Fang Zhihua, executive vice president of Hefei Stone Chamber of Commerce, said that in many people’s eyes, the price of stone is too expensive. I can't afford it. In fact, stone used for home decoration is not as expensive as people think, especially in the mid-range decoration, the choice of stone to spend money but less than the tiles.

Fang Zhihua gave an example to introduce an example of a floor tile of 80 cm by 80 cm in size. Ordinary marble floor tiles cost between two and three hundred yuan and a minimum of one or two hundred dollars. For a better brand tile, the price for each piece will be three or four hundred yuan, and that for expensive ones will be a thousand dollars. If quartz tiles are used to produce floor tiles in batches, the price of each piece can be controlled within 400 yuan. There are many advantages for quartz tiles to make floor tiles and wall surfaces. They can be carved and shaped, and can be refinished after years of use.
