What is a technological blade?
You’ve probably heard about natural stones like granite, marble, quartz pebbles and onyx. Basically, the technological blade is a modern version of this type of coating.

It is a new product developed with natural minerals that are compacted into micro grains. During this production, these micro grains are placed at high temperatures which result in the sintering process.
As a result, it forms a solid, resistant and homogeneous material. Therefore, it is a synthetic material that imitates natural coating. This way, you have more freedom to choose the color, size and type of natural stone you want to have.
Advantages and disadvantages of the technological blade

Before purchasing a material to cover your house, research the advantages and disadvantages and see if it fits your needs. Therefore, we have listed the main characteristics, both positive and negative, of the technological blade.
According to Lamtec, the advantages are:
- Impact resistant;
- It has a thin thickness, which makes the material lighter;
- It is resistant to chemicals;
- The color does not change with sun exposure;
- Easy to sanitize;
- It is waterproof;
- Durable material with stain resistance;
- It is recyclable;
- Withstands low and high temperatures;
- Resists high pressure loads;
- It is fire resistant;
- Resists scratches and temperature changes.
On the other hand, the only advantage of the material is high cost. After all, due to the technology required for its production, the product is sold at a higher price.

Coating texture that imitates natural stone
Although it is an imitation of natural stones, the technological blade does not have the same texture, that is, it is not porous.
One of the main reasons for this is the difficulty of producing them and also preventing dust and water from accumulating in these small spaces.
Which is better: natural or synthetic stones?

The answer to this question will depend on what you expect from this coating. For example, in relation to beauty, the synthesized blade, which is new to the market, has enough technology to imitate the beauty of a natural stone.
On the other hand, if the objective is to have the texture of a natural material and which has its irregularities as a strong point, then stone is the best option.
Furthermore, the technology used in the production of the blade means that it offers greater durability and resistance compared to others. Furthermore, as we saw in the previous topic, the synthetic version has a higher price.
What can I use to replace marble?
An excellent option to replace this natural stone is synthetic veneer. This is because it offers the same beauty and there is an increase in durability and resistance.
This way, it can be used in different rooms of the house, such as on the kitchen counter, for example. However, we will look at this in more depth in the next topic.
Where to put?

Despite being a resistant material, there are places where the technological blade is more suitable, especially as it is a cold material that is easy to clean.
According to Rokka, the recommended rooms are:
Of course, coverings can be added to every room. However, it is important to talk to the architect/interior designer to assess the best cost/benefit.

To maintain the durability of the material, it is important to take some care and respect it. Therefore, Lamtec has created a guide on how to clean the technological blade to maintain the beauty of the piece.

Furthermore, using steel wool, cleaning products with a pH greater than 11, chlorine, bleach and caustic soda are completely prohibited.
To keep the piece with a natural shine and clean, the brand recommends cleaning with a soft sponge, warm water and neutral detergent.
