In addition, Guang’an Beige Marble does not require oiling, is not easy to adhere to dust, is easy to maintain, has a long service life, is not prone to scratches, and is not restricted by constant temperature conditions, maintaining its original physical properties at room temperature.

III. Product Grades and Prices

(I) Grade Classification

Guang’an Beige Marble can be divided into multiple grades based on quality. There are inevitable defects in natural marble, and the quality of processing equipment and measuring tools can also cause defects in marble slabs. Generally, high-grade Guang’an Beige Marble slabs have a full body, no warping or depression, and uniform specifications without missing edges or corners or irregular shapes. The surface has no cracks, sand holes, color spots, or other flaws, with a consistent tone, small color difference, and beautiful patterns. Lower-grade products may have some deficiencies in these aspects.

(II) Price Range

The price of Guang’an Beige Marble varies depending on quality and market demand. Basic processed high-quality Guang’an Beige Marble costs approximately 1,000 yuan per square meter. Medium-quality products cost about 500 yuan per square meter, while lower-quality products range from 200 to 300 yuan per square meter. This price difference is mainly determined by factors such as the purity of the stone’s color, the beauty of its texture, the fineness of processing, and market supply and demand.

V. Product Installation and Maintenance

(I) Installation Methods

In construction, the installation method of Guang’an Beige Marble is crucial. Common marble construction methods mainly include dry hanging and wet laying. Compared with wet laying, dry hanging not only improves construction efficiency but also reduces the self-weight of the building and effectively avoids the problem of cement mortar penetration into the stone. The specific process of dry hanging construction is as follows: First, conduct measurement and setting out, then arrange and set out the stone slabs, select appropriate stones and pre-arrange them. Next, drill expansion bolts to install the steel skeleton, then install the adjusting pieces. After grooving the stone, fix it and apply sealant to ensure stability. Finally, after adjustment and finished product protection, the marble dry hanging construction is completed.

(II) Maintenance

Most white natural marbles have relatively large capillary pores, high water absorption rates, and are softer than dark-colored marbles. They require more careful maintenance compared to dark-colored natural marbles. In daily use, it is recommended to use Guang’an Beige Marble in places that are not frequently touched, such as walls and ceilings. If colored drinks such as cola or tea penetrate into the capillary pores of natural marble, you can soak cotton in diluted hydrogen peroxide, cover it with plastic wrap on the yellowed surface, and leave it for a certain period depending on the yellowing condition. The yellowing will be reduced. Under normal use conditions, periodic polishing can be done approximately every 8 – 10 years to maintain the surface’s gloss and transparency.
