Due to the different concepts and preferences of home owners, and the diversity of stone colors and textures, bathroom stones are used in a variety of colors and materials, including marble, limestone, granite, sandstone, slate, quartz stone, etc. Wait. However, usually marble and granite are mainly used in bathroom stone.
Nowadays, people generally like to use plain or solid color or simple-textured stone to decorate the floor and wall of the bathroom, and use rich-textured marble to decorate the countertop of the washstand, which can add a bit of elegance to the bathroom.
Marble is also called metamorphic or recrystallized limestone. True marble is a calcite-like metamorphic rock with a crystalline structure. Marble is mostly derived from limestone through geological changes. Its main components are calcite and calcium carbonate, and its Mohs hardness value is about 4.5. Therefore, its disadvantages are that it is soft, has poor acid and alkali resistance, poor weather resistance, is easy to absorb oil, water and other liquids and is polluted, is easy to be scratched, and is not wear-resistant. It will cause damage to the marble, and if it stays for a little longer, the marble will be damaged and lose its luster.
Therefore, the marble used in the bathroom should be made of hard material and high density, and try to avoid using marble with soft material and high water absorption rate. It is best to choose a polished surface for bathroom marble, and do a protective treatment before use, so that the stone can be better protected and easy to clean, and the marble paving is suitable for vertical paving. Light-colored stones are more resistant to slight soapy water pollution than dark-colored stones, so it is recommended not to use green serpentine and black marble in toilets and bathrooms, so that the stone surface is less likely to be polluted Some.
