Is it better to use quartz stone for the countertop of the kitchen cabinet, or imported artificial s

A. Artificial stone is roughly divided into artificial acrylic stone and artificial quartz stone, of course, there are some new stones, but it is basically a small group, and the name of each business is different and it is not easy to classify. There is no good or bad between acrylic stone and quartz stone, the composition is different, and the characteristics are relatively different, so when purchasing, you should be clear about which characteristics of the table you value more, and choose acrylic or quartz stone.

B, the hardness and wear resistance of quartz stone are better than acrylic, heat resistance is better, but not so powerful, whether it is acrylic stone or quartz stone, can not put the hot pan directly on the countertop, thermal expansion and contraction will lead to local molecular structure changes. Whether it is quartz stone or acrylic stone, if you do not use a pot and mat, place a high-temperature object directly on the countertop, and over time, the contact with the high-temperature object surface will be different from the shiny part of other countertops.

How to buy quartz cabinet countertops?

A. The good weight quartz stone is pressed out by the press, and the poor quartz stone is pressed out by the casting production heavy press, and the plate density is higher, so the quartz stone of the same size will be heavier. The quartz content also ranges from 80 to 94, and the higher the quartz content, the better the quality of the quartz countertop.

B, the thickness of quartz stone cabinet countertop has 1 2 cm, 1 5 cm two kinds, because the hardness of quartz stone is high, but it is more brittle than artificial stone, so it is recommended to use 15 centimeters thickened quartz stone, but many manufacturers are actually rubbing the edge of the ball, the real production of the plate is only 14 centimeters or even 13 5 centimeters, responsible manufacturers will not save this 1 centimeter, so it is not really recommended to buy 15 centimeters of quartz stone countertops.

C. Scrape quartz stone with hard objects such as keys. The main ingredient is quartz sand, quartz sand, that is, silica, the hardness is basically second only to diamond in nature, if it is really good quartz stone, there will only be a line after scraping with a key, and it is not obvious after scrubbing, and poor quartz countertops contain calcium powder and other inferior materials will have marks and white powder after scraping with a key.

Quartz countertops are mainly made of broken glass and quartz sand.

Pros:1Not easy to scratch: the quartz content in quartz is as high as 94%, quartz is a mineral in nature second only to diamond, hardness, much higher than the knives in the kitchen, so even if cutting vegetables on the countertop, it is not easy to be scratched.

2.Will not be polluted: Quartz stone belongs to the surface and the inside.

1. Dense and non-porous material, the surface of the material has strong corrosion resistance to the acid and alkali of the kitchen, generally the liquid we often use will not penetrate into the quartz stone, if there is a liquid for a long time as to the surface of the quartz stone, we only need to clean it with water or detergent to remove.

3.It is not easy to get old.

The surface of quartz stone has become shiny and bright because of more than 30 complex processes, and even if it is worn for a long time, the countertop will not be old, just as new as when it was first installed, and does not need maintenance and maintenance.

4.It won't be ignited.

Quartz crystallization is a typical refractory material, the melting point should be as high as 1300 degrees or more, the general quartz stone is flame retardant, will not cause combustion due to high temperature, which is also the advantage of artificial stone can not be surpassed.

5.No poison, no radiation.

Because of the smooth and flat surface of quartz, and the dense and non-porous structure, bacteria cannot hide, and there is no toxicity in direct contact with food. Quartz stone generally uses selected natural adaptation crystalline minerals, and the raw materials do not contain any heavy metal impurities that cause radiation, so quartz stone will not have any radiation effects.

Disadvantages: Quartz stone is difficult to process because of its high hardness, so the shape of general quartz stone is relatively single, and there are not many styles to choose.

Engineered stone countertops.

Artificial stone countertops are studied according to the problems in the actual use of natural stone.

Advantages: moisture-proof, acid-proof, high-temperature proof, many styles. The processing is relatively simple.

Disadvantages: Compared with quartz stone, artificial stone is naturally insufficient, and the arts and sciences are relatively fake, and it is generally used in harsh environments such as kitchens and toilets.

The stainless steel countertop is durable and easy to clean. Compared with other countertops, it has the strongest antibacterial ability and is absolutely environmentally friendly. It's a great choice for people who value practicality and love a metallic look.

However, it doesn't look very high-grade, the biggest problem of stainless steel is that it is easy to have patterns, and you should avoid rubbing it with steel wool balls when you use it, otherwise it will cause surface fluffing and scratches. It can also rust if it gets in touch with salt. Soy sauce, various paints, and cleaning agents can corrode it if they drip on it.

Generally speaking, it is recommended to use quartz countertops!
