Can granite be used for interior decoration?

Granite is hard and difficult to be eroded by acid, alkali or weathering, and is often used as a building material. Many people ask masons about the fact that granite is also a stone material. Granite has high hardness and is not easily eroded by air, rain, etc. It is not so easy to return to alkali, and the price is much lower than marble. Can granite be used for interior decoration?

The etymology of granite is the Latin granum, and the Chinese noun granite was translated by the Japanese. Dictionaries and geology books from the early Meiji period translated Granite as granite or granite. The word "flower" describes that this kind of rock has beautiful patterns, while "gang" or "gang" means that this kind of rock is very hard, which means a hard rock with flower-like patterns. Chinese scholars followed this translation and determined the name of China's common granite.

Granite is a coarse-grained or medium-grained intrusive rock rich in quartz and feldspar. It is a common plutonic rock in the earth's crust. It is formed by the cooling of magma deep in the earth's crust. Some granites are gneiss or mixtures formed by the metamorphism of magma and sedimentary rocks. Lithified rock. The main minerals of granite are feldspar, quartz, black and white mica, etc. [1], and the quartz content is 10% to 50%. The feldspar content is about 2/3 of the total, which is divided into orthoclase, plagioclase (soda lime) and microcline feldspar (potash). Different varieties have different mineral compositions, and may also contain pyroxene and amphibole.
Granite stone is divided into different grades according to factors such as color, pattern, luster, structure and material. The Bureau of Mineral Resources of Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs divides granite into six categories: black, brown, green, off-white, light red and dark red.

Advantages of granite

    
No.1 Good stability
Granite is formed under high temperature, high pressure or high temperature condensation conditions. Due to the close distribution of minerals, the extremely small gaps between particles, as well as the multiple tectonic movements and long-term changes in cold and heat since its formation, the residual internal material stress inside the granite has basically disappeared. Therefore, granite is extremely hard and chemically stable. Granite is not prone to elastic deformation and plastic deformation, and can maintain high accuracy under heavy load. Even if it is used frequently for five or six years, only a small amount of gravel will fall off after surface scratches or collisions, without deformation or burrs.

No.2 Easy to maintain
Granite has strong corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of common acid and alkali gases and solutions. It does not need to be coated with any anti-rust grease. There is no need to worry about rust and environmental humidity when using it. If there are stains on granite, it is difficult to invade. This is because granite has high density and basically no pores. After use, you don't have to worry about moisture and stains infiltrating, and it is more convenient to clean.

 
No.3 price is relatively low
Granite is always less expensive than other materials of the same size, or even other stones of the same size. And because granite stone is weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and has low water absorption, granite phase change reduces maintenance costs and extends service life.

In addition, granite stone is relatively brittle, and only part of it will fall off after damage, which does not affect the overall flatness and is relatively easy to maintain.

Disadvantages of granite

No.1 colors are limited,

No.2 single texture
Compared with marble, the colors available for granite are limited. If you want more variety in your home environment, then you will find that the colors and designs available for granite are too limited.

No.3 easy to slip
Due to its high density, granite is very slippery if there is water on it, and is not suitable for use on floors in wet areas. If granite is to be installed on the bathroom floor, grooves must be cut on the surface to increase the anti-slip properties, otherwise there will be Certain danger.

Compared with granite, marble has rich colors, fine texture, and is more artistic, and is more popular in interior decoration. Granite has a single pattern, is not very decorative, and is hard, not easily damaged, and highly radioactive. outdoor.

Just like people, the most suitable one is the best. Granite and marble each have their own merits, and they can exert their greatest value in the fields that suit them. Therefore, granite is most suitable for outdoor decoration. The stone of choice for indoor decoration is marble.
