Will quartz tiles become another ceramic tile category that replaces natural stone?
Report from this newspaper (Reporter Chen Qiujian) Due to the non-renewability of natural stone, imitation stone products are very popular in the market. Quartz tiles are one of Italy's top ceramic tile categories. Due to the use of special production technology and formula raw materials, quartz bricks can form a dense structure like quartz crystals in the brick body under changes in conditions such as non-constant temperature calcination and pressure. The water absorption rate of the brick body is less than 0.1%. It has the characteristics of high density, hardness, bending resistance, wear resistance, anti-fouling and moisture-proof. Quartz tiles are one of the product categories of Italian high-end ceramic tile brands. Currently, there are not many manufacturers specializing in the production of quartz tiles. Except for Italy, only a few ceramic tile factories in China have formed large-scale and specialized production capabilities. Among them, it is the leader in this field in China.
On March 4, Quartz Brick introduced the company’s quartz brick products in detail to visiting industry media at its Foshan headquarters. President Yao Wenjiang, Vice President Fang Chengjie, and Brand Promotion Director Zhang Ping accepted collective interviews from a group of industry media reporters and unveiled the mystery of quartz bricks for media friends.
According to Yao Wenjiang, view refers to attitude, and gres is the root of ceramic tile. Therefore, familiar friends in the industry often call it "tile with attitude." Yao Wenjiang, who came from a technical background, later devoted himself to foreign trade, and finally established his own company and brand. In 2010, we devoted ourselves to the European and American markets and developed the world's first 2cm quartz porcelain plate.
■ The same appearance and low water absorption are the two major characteristics of quartz bricks
The 2cm quartz porcelain plate has won the recognition and respect of European and American customers. In 2015, the 1cm quartz brick, a product defined with the core concept of "natural aesthetics", was launched, advocating the new concept of quartz brick indoor & outdoor "indoor and outdoor" application.
The team told reporters that Yingbrick is a composite brick material that has the same appearance on the outside, a water absorption rate of less than 0.1%, and is as dense and non-porous as quartz crystals.
According to reports, quartz bricks reproduce the texture, delicate touch and realistic visual effects of natural stone, restoring the overall texture of natural stone, making the brick body uniform on the outside and dense and non-porous, and can perfectly restore the texture and texture of natural stone. The tactile, visual and overall texture perfectly combines decorative effect and practical performance. It is an excellent substitute for natural stone. It also has the advantages of no radiation, small color difference, few defects, no water or stain, easy care, and short delivery cycle.
The brick body of quartz brick is dense, making its water absorption rate less than 0.1%, which is at the leading level in the industry. The extremely low water absorption rate makes the quartz bricks almost impermeable to liquids placed on the surface for a long time, making them less likely to yellow and discolor, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor decoration.
■ Technical advantages lead the development direction of quartz bricks
The successful experience in the European and American markets convinced the team that only by insisting on independent innovation and continuously improving the level of production technology can we gain a firm foothold in the market. From the world's first 2cm quartz porcelain plate to advocating the concept of indoor and outdoor applications, the team has invested a lot of hard work in production and research and development. Yao Wenjiang revealed to reporters that grid quartz bricks have a number of independent innovation technologies. Among them, in terms of waste recycling, it has applied for a patent for using industrial tailings as one-third of the raw materials, and has become the first domestic building materials company to apply for US green building materials certification.
Since the input-output ratio is much higher than that of the industry, from this perspective, quartz bricks are an environmentally friendly product. And because it is a high-end product, it can ensure that more energy is invested in energy-saving and environmentally friendly upgrades. In addition, according to Yao Wenjiang, he cooperated with a scientific research institution to vigorously develop honeycomb ceramic nitrogen removal to fill the gap in this area.
According to reports, Quartz Brick has a strong international production and R&D team. It has set up a product design studio in New York, North America, and continues to introduce the world's top production equipment and set up product testing centers to ensure that all manufactured products pass relevant national standard certifications with a complete production management system.
