In daily home decoration, choosing rock slab or traditional ceramic tiles is a problem that many consumers will encounter.
From the perspective of product form, although the rock slab is similar in composition to the ceramic tiles, its hardness is better than that of the ceramic tiles, and the product thickness is 2 to 4 cm more than that of the ceramic tiles. In scene applications, ceramic tiles are generally used to lay floors or walls, and stone slabs can not only lay floors, but also make various stone slab furniture.
In April last year, Mona Lisa, the leading tiles company, launched the rock slab brand "Merchi", positioning it as a trendy and luxurious one. Recently, Melchi has launched new rock slab products one after another. So far, there are 5 series including Fashion, Mina, Bazaar, Zhizu, and Chaolu, covering 8 sizes and specifications. Among them, there are as many as 40 products in the Fashion Series and as many as 20 products in the Bazaar Series.

can choose the soft and smooth surface process of dry-grained throwing. According to relevant personnel of Melchi, dry-grain casting has richer colors than full-sprayed glaze, more transparent texture, less water ripples on the surface, but the production cost will also be higher.
There are 13 gray products in the 900X1800X10 (mm) specification. Among them, the three products, Star Seal Light Gray, Crayon Slate Gray and Smoky Ash, all adopt the natural texture of the matte mold.
Gray-based ceramic tiles and rock slab products have been loved by some consumers and designers in recent years. This tone between black and white shows different colors and effects due to different black and white ratios, and designers need to accurately grasp the grayscale.
There is a market view that gray is a highly inclusive color with low purity. Through absorption, fusion and adjustment, it will bring softness, calmness, unity and non-oastfulness. This also leads to "high-level gray".
In the Bazaar series, Melchi uses a large number of natural scene elements to create an immersive atmosphere. At the same time, this is also the current trend of high-end ceramic tile and stone slab products.
In the new product of "Vienna Spring", Melchi abandoned the continuous texture of traditional marble and adopted a blocky texture. Judging from the real picture, white blocks of various shapes visually form a big tree full of white petals. The background color tone is also gray.
Melchi’s new product “Emerald Bay” is inspired by jade ore veins. It has an outwardly extended green texture inside, and the background color tone is white.
In terms of technology, "Jiacui Bay" adopts three-dimensional microcrystalline dry-grain sintering technology. After high-temperature calcination above 1200℃, the product surface will be more crystal clear.
Compared with the petals and jade elements of the first two models, the new product " Rhinestone " uses more water wave elements. Its design inspiration comes from the stone in the basin of Western Europe, the largest river, , the Rhine River, and the background color is blue-green. Judging from the real picture, the textures of the product are intertwined.
The design of the new product "Norwegian Wood Grain" is inspired by the unique Norwegian spruce fossil texture. According to relevant personnel of Melchi, this product uses high-temperature dry-grain fabric technology to thicken the surface glaze layer, making the texture more three-dimensional.
