Is the countertop made of quartz stone good? This is a problem that has plagued many people. In fact, if you put aside the price and difficult processing, quartz stone will be a very good choice for countertops. Oh.

Advantages and disadvantages of quartz stone countertops

Advantages:

1. Quartz stone countertops are Really easy to clean and sanitary countertops

In the production process of quartz stone countertops, according to the principle of 'lotus effectTwo major sanitary effects, the surface is dense and non-porous, forming a unique texture of microscopic convexity. Compared with the traditional rough surface of artificial stone countertops (macro visible concave-convex surface), it is not easy to hide dirt and breed bacteria, and it is easier to clean.

2. Quartz stone countertops are truly cost-effective countertops

Cabinets are the most important durable consumer goods in modern homes, and the supporting countertops are the most frequently used part in people’s daily lives. . There is no good cabinet without a good countertop. No one wants a very beautiful cabinet to be scratched, aging or even broken in less than two years. Compared with ordinary artificial stone, quartz stone countertops have the characteristics of longer life, less discoloration, less deformation, anti-permeation, and more scratch resistance. Basically, no special maintenance is needed, and the surface can still be as beautiful as new after many years of use. Generally, artificial stone needs to be regularly polished and maintained if it is to be kept fresh. This will reduce the thickness of the countertop, affect the service life, and cause certain inconvenience to users. Therefore, compared with common artificial stone countertops in terms of health, environmental protection, ease of use (easy to clean, easy to maintain), and physical and chemical properties, quartz stone countertops are truly cost-effective countertops.

In general, the advantages of quartz stone countertops are that they are not scratched, stained, not worn, burnable, non-toxic and non-radiation. . No scratching means that the material has good hardness, aesthetics and practicality. The high-quality quartz stone does not absorb color on the counter surface, is easy to clean, polishes the surface, has good density, and will never fade. Quartz shortcut is a typical refractory material, with a melting point of more than 1300 degrees, generally inflammable and resistant to high temperatures. The surface of the quartz stone is smooth, flat and no scratches are retained. The dense and non-porous material structure allows bacteria nowhere to hide, and it can be in direct contact with food, which is safe and non-toxic.

Disadvantages:

1. The price of artificial stone is slightly higher.

2. Because the hardness of the quartz stone countertop is too strong, it is not easy to process, and the shape is too single.

Maintenance of quartz stone countertops

1. Quartz stone cabinet countertops should avoid direct contact with hot pots and kettles: should be avoided Hot pots and hot pots are in direct contact with the cabinet, and it is best to place them on the pot rack.

2. Avoid sharp objects hitting the countertop: Try to avoid hitting the countertop and door with sharp objects to avoid scratches. No matter what kind of quartz stone countertop you choose, you should cut vegetables on the cutting board to prepare food. In addition to avoiding knife marks, you can also achieve better hygiene.

3. Avoid placing dyes or hair dyes directly on the countertop: The quartz countertops of general materials have bubbles and gaps. If colored liquid penetrates into it, it will cause stains or discoloration. Therefore, dyes or hair dyes should be avoided Place directly on the table.

4. Avoid chemical erosion: chemical erosion is not allowed for many materials. For example, stainless steel countertops may get rusty if they are exposed to salt, so care should be taken to avoid placing items such as soy sauce bottles directly on the countertops.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone here that although the countertop made of quartz stone is relatively impermeable, we still have to prevent the cabinet from stagnating water on the countertop for a long time. , Because the quality of countertops of any material will be affected if they are soaked for too long.
