Comparison of Natural Stone and Manufactured Stone

Welding and Production Process 
Natural stones are materials extracted from nature and subjected to minimal processing. Natural stones such as granite, marble, limestone are formed as a result of natural formation processes that take millions of years. Each piece is unique and has patterns formed by natural means. On the other hand, Manufactured stone is produced using modern production techniques. Concrete is shaped by pouring a mixture of sand and various chemicals into molds. This process allows the Manufactured stone to imitate the aesthetic appearance of natural stone.

Durability and Longevity
In terms of durability, Manufactured stones usually show superiority compared to natural stones. Manufactured stones provide high resistance to UV rays, humidity and temperature changes thanks to additives added during the production process. This allows the Manufactured stones to maintain their form and aesthetic appearance for many years. Natural stones are also quite durable, but they are sensitive to weather conditions and environmental influences, which can lead to wear and discoloration in the long run.

Aesthetic and Design Flexibility
Aesthetically, natural stones offer a unique and authentic appearance. Since each part of natural stone has different patterns and shades of color, the decorations made with these materials are unique. However, the color and pattern options of natural stones are limited. Manufactured stones, on the other hand, offer a wide range of colors and textures. Thanks to the flexibility in the production process, Manufactured stones can be produced in any desired natural stone appearance. This provides more design flexibility in architectural projects and increases aesthetic diversity.
