What material is good for kitchen countertop?

What material is good for kitchen countertop? Because of the high use rate of the table panel, it should have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, pollution resistance, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, waterproof, easy to clean and beautiful and durable.

Now the most common kitchen cabinet countertop materials on the market are generally quartz stone countertop, granite jade countertop, marble countertop, stainless steel countertop, tempered glass countertop, wood countertop, rock plate countertop and so on. These countertop materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, as for which countertop material is more suitable for you, users can choose according to their own conditions and needs.

What materials are suitable for kitchen countertop?

1、Quartz countertop

Now customize kitchen cabinet, most of them choose quartz stone countertop material, which belongs to the mainstream material of the cabinet countertop.

Quartz stone countertop advantages

1.High Mohs hardness of quartz material, not afraid of sharp objects scratches;

2.The quartz material is resistant to acid and alkali and high temperature, and the pot burned at high temperature is not worried about it

3.Quartz stone countertop non-toxic, non-radiation, safe and durable;

4.Quartz stone countertop color, texture effect can be done, high appearance level with what style of cabinets are good match.

Quartz stone countertop disadvantages

1.The disadvantage of quartz stone is that it is not load-bearing, its load-bearing force is not very good, encounter too heavy items or too strong impact, quartz stone will crumble, and it is very difficult to recover.

2.In the production process, the processing is very difficult, because the shape of the quartz stone countertop is relatively single, can not do too much stitching, but also want to be beautiful, in this process need to concave a lot of complex modeling, even after the knock is not easy to repair.

2、Granite countertop

Granite is a traditional cabinet countertop material, granite density, high hardness, wear-resistant surface, which reduces the possibility of dirt to a certain extent. Tests have proved that among the materials that can be used for kitchen countertops, granite has a better ability to resist bacterial regeneration. There are limitations of natural materials. The length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall table, there will certainly be joints, and these joints are also easy to hide dirt.

3、Stainless steel countertop

The traditional raw material used for home cabinets and kitchen tables is generally a thin layer of stainless steel on the surface of a high-density fire board. Strong, easy to clean, practical. In recent years, due to the strong impact of the new concept of "European and American integration" modern cabinets, stainless steel countertops are also complying with the development trend of the combination of beautiful and practical cabinets, and corresponding improvements have been made. For consumers who focus on "practical" considerations, or consumers who love metal texture, it is not impossible to buy stainless steel countertops.

4、Natural marble countertop

一、Advantage of natural marble countertop

1、High hardness, no deformation Natural marble is formed naturally after a long time, so it is more natural and uniform in the organizational structure, and the linear expansion coefficient is very small, there is almost no internal stress, so its hardness is very high, and it will not be deformed in the use process.

2、Corrosion-resistant, not afraid of acid natural marble countertop itself has a uniform organizational structure, so it is not easy to be eroded by acid and alkali liquids, and it does not have to rely on oil to improve smoothness when used, and maintenance is quite simple and convenient.

3、Because the hardness of marble material is relatively high, and the rigidity is very good, so naturally its wear resistance is also relatively strong. Not only that, its high temperature resistance is also very good, not blocked by constant temperature conditions, will not be affected by temperature changes also deformation, at room temperature can also maintain its original physical properties, long service life.

4、The physical stability of natural marble structure is rigorous and uniform, even in the case of external impact, grain shedding, it will not burr, surface accuracy will not be affected. Because the material is physically stable, it can ensure that it will not be deformed after long-term use, and it is rust-proof, antimagnetic and insulating.

二、Disadvantage of natural marble countertop

1、Although natural marble has many unique characteristics by virtue of its natural formation of materials, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, naturally formed marble, once there is a slight loose crack, then this place is easy to be damaged.

2、Difficult to clean the world stone is porous material structure, even natural marble formed by nature is no exception. Once there is sewage or dirt in the production, transportation or construction process into the stone, it is easy to break, and it is difficult to clean.

3、Radiation natural stone in the formation process, more or less there will be heavy metals, so natural marble countertops will have a certain radiation, may have an impact on the body.

5、Sintered stone countertop

The sintered stone is generally 15mm or 20mm thickness, is made of natural raw materials through a special process, the use of press pressing, combined with advanced production technology, after 1200℃ high temperature firing, can be cut, drilling, grinding and other processing processes of large specifications of new porcelain panels.

The advantages of rock plate: large size, more color, high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, anti-penetration, acid and alkali resistance. Suitable for TV background wall, wall decoration, furniture and other aspects.

-- Disadvantages of sintered stone--

Disadvantage1: crunchy

"Brittleness" is born of the sintered stone, like tiles, with high hardness characteristics, but lack of toughness, encounter gravity will crumble. The rock slab used for kitchen countertops is fatal and can not withstand gravity vibrations such as chopping vegetables and chopping bones, and it will be easy to break.

Disadvantage2:logistics is difficult, processing is difficult

Because it is more brittle, the vibration is larger than the rupture, so it is not good to transport. In the process of processing, it is not easy to cut, and the construction is difficult.
