Common material for kitchen countertops: marble.

Natural marble is good, granite is better, hard, wear-resistant, and not easy to weather. Radiation is ignored, and mobile TV radiation is greater, such as the imported Zhonghua Black Sands. Kitchen countertops made of marble do have a good aesthetic effect, and they are very good in terms of fire and stain resistance, but countertops made of natural marble will have joints, which are also prone to dirt accumulation, low durability, and need to be sealed more frequently to prevent staining.

Kitchen countertops commonly used material two: artificial stone.

Artificial stone countertops are now the most used countertops, the main reason is that there are many advantages, mainly the following four points:

1. Wear-resistant, acid-resistant, and high-temperature resistant, these three points just meet the requirements of the kitchen for the cabinet countertop, which is very suitable for daily use.

2. There are no pores on the surface of the countertop, and dirt such as oil stains and water stains will not penetrate into it, so that even after long-term use, it will not appear dirty.

3. If the cabinet needs a long countertop, artificial stone can be seamlessly bonded without any gaps.

4. If there are scratches on the surface, you can use gauze paper to dip it in water and polish it, so that it will not leave traces on the surface.

Commonly used materials for kitchen countertops: stainless steel.

The biggest advantage of stainless steel countertops is that they are easy to clean, which is very suitable for lazy people; But the disadvantage is that it cannot be used in the corner of the cabinet, and if you accidentally scratch the surface, it will not be repaired, so that the marks will remain on the countertop, affecting the appearance.

Kitchen countertop common material four: glass.

Explosion-proof glass is mostly used as the countertop material, but the safety type is slightly worse than that of stone.

Commonly used materials for kitchen countertops: fireproof board.

Bright and diverse colors, fireproof, moisture-proof, oil-resistant, acid-alkali resistant, high-temperature resistant, easy to clean. However, the quality of the internal matrix affects the service life of the fireproof board countertop.

Kitchen countertop commonly used material six: wood.

Kitchen countertops made of wood have good heat resistance and stain resistance, but its disadvantage is that it is expensive, you can also choose wood to use on the surface or on both sides, but this water is easy to penetrate, and it will leave kitchen knife marks.

Now most families, in the kitchen countertop material, will choose quartz, because this material has the advantages of high temperature resistance, scratch resistance, acid and alkali resistance, easy to clean, very suitable for use in the kitchen countertop selection, so how to judge good quartz stone and inferior quartz stone? In view of its several advantages, I will teach you three methods below to see if the quality of your quartz countertop is in place? First, with fire, more than 90% purity of quartz stone, the ignition point is about 1300 degrees, is extremely high temperature resistance, you can use a lighter to burn it, if it is quickly blackened, can not be erased, then this is inferior quartz stone.

Second, scrape with a knife, high-purity quartz stone is very scratch-resistant, if you scratch a white scratch, then congratulations, your quartz stone is also inferior. Third, use strong acid soaking, soak your quartz stone in strong acid, if bubbles appear, then the quality of this quartz stone, is not good. Many people will think that quartz stone is harmful to the human body.

This is because some unscrupulous businesses, in order to save costs in the production process, will add some materials containing heavy metals, so over time, it will be harmful to the human body, so for the sake of health, we should also pay attention to the quality of some decoration materials.
