THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARBLE AND SINTERED STONE

• Marble
What is Marble and How is it Formed?
Marble is a metamorphic rock that is created as a result of the metamorphosis of a combination of rocks under intense pressure and temperatures. These rocks include calcite, limestone, dolomite and serpentine. The main component of marble is calcium carbonate and contains acidic oxide. Marble takes hundreds of years to form and is found among the oldest parts of the Earth’s crust.
Where Is Marble Found?
Marble can be found all over the world, but the four countries where it is most prevalent are Italy, Spain, India, and China. The most prestigious famous white marble comes from Carrara, Italy. This marble was used by Michelangelo, Canova, and Donatello for their infamous sculptures.
What Are Advantages to Marble Surfaces?
There are advantages to having marble countertops in the kitchen, especially for home bakers and personal chefs. The surface of marble stays cool, making it an ideal roll-out surface for pastries and doughs. Many people are not aware that marble is also heat resistant. It will not catch fire or burn, and you may place semi-hot pans on it for relatively short periods of time without damage to the surface.
How Durable is Marble?
When marble is installed and properly sealed and maintained, it has the potential to last for a lifetime. Marble is a natural stone, so it is less resistant to scratching, staining, and cracking than other countertop surfaces. It is also softer than surfaces like granite, this makes it easier to produce a wide variety of edge profiles to make distinguished looking cuts and arches. These types of designs come at a higher cost, but in comparison to granite are still much lower.

• Sintered Stone
Marble Emporium introduces the finest sintered stones in Malaysia, raising the design mode of kitchen countertops, flooring and facades in durability and efficiency.
Sintered stone is an amazingly massive new porcelain material made of natural raw elements through a unique process, squeezed with a press of more than 10000 tones, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature of more than 1200°C, capable of withstanding cutting, drilling, grinding, and other production processes.
How are sintered stones made?
Sintered stones are produced through sintering. The sintering process is essentially a man-made imitation of extreme heat and pressure that the earth exerts on materials to form specific surfaces. When creating a sintered stone surface, the materials themselves must be determined, and then this method, which mimics that of the earth, must be executed.
What makes sintered stone unique in the market?
Sintered stone employs natural materials to create exotic surfaces allowing customisation of colour, texture, and size. It can be designed to look like natural stones, marble, wood, or other smooth or textured surfaces. By incorporating sintered stone in your space, there will no longer be a need for extravagant decorative pieces at home to enhance the aesthetic appeal.
How durable and long-lasting is a sintered stone?
If you are that person that is constantly on the go and is guilty of leaving hot pots on your kitchen tops or table, causing heat bubbles, the sintered stone is a sturdy, heat-resistant material that defies cracking and fracture. It can withstand heat as well as cold temperatures.
