Cómo distinguir entre mármol natural y mármol artificial

Puede resultar difícil diferenciar entre mármol natural y mármol de ingeniería. (también conocido como mármol cultivado o sintético) ya que pueden verse muy similares. Sin embargo, aquí hay algunas formas de diferenciarlos:

Apariencia: El mármol natural tiene un patrón de vetas único formado por minerales naturales., while engineered marble has a more uniform appearance with a consistent pattern. If you look closely, you can often see the repeating pattern in engineered marble.

Texture: Natural marble has a natural, porous texture, while engineered marble has a smoother texture with a consistent surface.

Weight: Natural marble is heavier than engineered marble due to its density.

Water absorption: Natural marble is porous and can absorb water, while engineered marble is non-porous and will not absorb water.

Mantenimiento: Natural marble requires periodic sealing to protect against staining and etching, while engineered marble is non-porous and does not require sealing.

By examining the appearance, texture, weight, water absorption, and maintenance requirements, you can often differentiate between natural marble and engineered marble.
