Comparison of natural cultural stone and artificial cultural stone
The main feature of natural cultural stone is that it is durable, not afraid of getting dirty, and can be scrubbed infinitely. However, the decorative effect is limited by the original texture of the stone. Except for the square stone, other constructions are more difficult, even when splicing. The advantage of artificial cultural stone is that it can create colors by itself. Even if you don't like the color when you buy it, you can reprocess it yourself with paints such as latex paint.
In addition, most of the artificial cultural stones are packed in boxes, and the proportions of different blocks have been allocated, which is more convenient to install. However, artificial cultural stones are afraid of dirt and are not easy to clean, and some cultural stones are affected by the level of manufacturers and the number of molds, and their styles are very hypocritical.
