Is marble stronger than wood?

Marble is generally harder and more resistant to scratches and heat than wood. However, it can be more prone to chipping and cracking if subjected to significant impact or pressure. Wood, on the other hand, is a more flexible and forgiving material. The strength of marble and wood may vary depending on the specific type of marble and wood species.

Marble Balance Tables

Q: Are marble tables expensive?

Marble tables can be expensive due to several factors. The cost of extracting and processing marble from quarries can be high. Additionally, the unique and luxurious appearance of marble, along with its durability and longevity, contributes to its higher price compared to other materials.

Q: Which marble is best for a table?

When choosing marble for a table, it is recommended to select a type that is known for its durability and resistance to staining. Some popular choices include Carrara marble, Calacatta marble, and Statuario marble. These varieties offer a beautiful appearance and have been used in tabletop applications for a long time.

Q: What are the advantages of using a marble balance table?

Marble balance tables offer excellent vibration-damping properties, ensuring precise and accurate measurements in laboratory settings. The dense and heavy nature of marble helps absorb vibrations from surrounding equipment, machinery, or foot traffic, creating a more stable working environment for delicate instruments.

Q: How does a marble balance table compare to other materials?

Marble balance tables are highly regarded for their superior vibration-damping capabilities compared to other materials commonly used for balance tables, such as wood or stainless steel. Marble's natural properties make it an ideal material for minimizing vibrations and providing a solid foundation for precise weighing applications. Get in touch with ResinTops for a consultation!

The anti-vibration tables are made with cultured marble. Instead of being constructed from solid sheets of marble that have been quarried, our marble balance tables are constructed using marble stone dust and a polyester resin that is cast into the exact shape and size of the balance table needed. Cultured marble has many benefits over quarried marble because it is less expensive to produce, can be made to exact measurements every time, is non-porous so it will not stain, and is four times as strong as the natural stone!

The cultured marble lends itself to more durable and longer lasting marble balance tables for a lower cost than the natural stone alternatives. Made with a clear gel-coat on top, the cultured marble used in our anti-vibration tables will be waterproof and resist chipping, cracking and staining making it a great lab or medical table.

How can you tell if a table is a real marble?

There are several ways to determine if a table is made of real marble. One method is to examine the surface closely for unique and natural veining patterns that are typical of marble. Marble also has a characteristic smooth and cool feel to the touch. You can also perform a simple acid test by applying a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to an inconspicuous area of the table. If it reacts with fizzing or etching, it is likely real marble.

I was pleased with the quality of the product, as well as the service from the company

I had a rush order for a custom cart. I knew I was pushing the timeline for design and delivery of a custom product, but they rushed every aspect of the process - from design to manufacture - and we received our cart by our target date. They double checked specifications and kept me informed of the process. When the cart arrived, I was pleased with the quality of the product, as well as the service from the company. I have ordered custom carts/casework before and resintops.net's service and support was better than what I have received from other vendors. I have referred colleagues to resintops.net and will definitely reach out to resintops.net for future custom products.
