Since the natural stone belongs to the non-renewable resources, and it is
quite expensive, the artificial is therefore emerging with the decoration
requirements. Well, but do you know how to identify the fake and the reals ?
Reals have the characteristic of being durable, but it is actually not that
durable. Its durability will be defined on how you take care of it, making it
more of a hassle and a problem to have around. Caring for real marble tiles is
more complex than your regular style of cleaning, wherein mopping and sweeping
not enough in terms of caring for your marble tiles. Marble tiles are more
susceptible to stains from common households, such as citrus-based drinks,
shampoos, nail removers, or anything that is acidic, since these things may
chemically react with the marble tile's surface. This means that people who have
marble tiles for their flooring, for example, will need to clean up any spill
immediately using soap and water, in order to avoid staining their marble
tile.
Fake marble tiles, on the other hand, need not require the same amount of
care when cleaning it since these fake marble tiles are not made of 100% marble,
but contain only a percentage of marble in their composition. Fake marble tiles
are actually combined with other elements, such as liquid polyester resin,
making it a more durable product as compared to the real marble tiles. This
means that the products that would easily stain marble tiles are not that
effective with fake marble tiles due to their resin coats, making them more
impervious, although they could still stain it if not taken care of.
Also, real marble tiles are more expensive than fake marble tiles for
obvious reasons, although there are some people who sell fake marble tiles for
the same price range as real ones. The more expensive real marble tiles will
have some differences with fake ones, such as the texture, finishes, patterns
and design, some of which are more difficult to detect over others, but with
careful scrutiny and observation, these differences can be seen.
