How to choose artificial stone countertops

　　 With the development of technology, artificial stone countertops are used more and more widely in contemporary life. Compared with traditional wooden and marble countertops, artificial stone products are not only more affordable, but also more prominent in performance. Now let's talk about how to choose artificial stone countertops?

The main purpose of 　　 stone-making (solid surface material):

　　Kitchen countertops, bathroom sinks, window countertops, doors and windows Sets, coffee tables, baseboards, bar counters, TV countertops and more! It is a new type of green building materials that replace natural marble and wood. There are now three camps of products in the world: DuPont in the United States-Corian, Samsung and LG in South Korea are the most high-end products. In China, DuPont-Monterey is the main representative, which is medium and high-end products; there are also some domestic small-brand solid surface materials that are low-end products!

　　 There are many kinds of artificial stones, please keep your eyes open and choose carefully! Below I will tell you some identification methods about artificial stone countertop products!

　　 Generally speaking, inferior artificial stone mainly has the following problems and hazards: short product aging cycle, poor surface gloss, impure color, pores, soft texture and easy to scratch and deform. Poor sanitation and not environmentally friendly.

The details of 　　 are as follows:

　　 (1). From the surface, the surface of high-quality products is shiny and bright after polishing. Pure, with the texture of natural stone, without pores; inferior products have a dark surface, poor finish, impure color, dazzling and uncomfortable visually, and feel astringent when touched by hand, with pores (opposite The light is squinted at a 45-degree angle, and the stoma like the eye of a needle).

　　 (2), high-quality products have strong hardness and mechanical strength, scratching the surface with the sharpest hard plastic will not leave scratches, poor products are softer and easy It is scratched and easily deformed.

　　 (3), high-quality products are easy to polish, and inferior products give off a pungent smell when cutting materials. There are many brands of artificial stone on the market, and they are very mixed. How can we distinguish the quality of it?

　　 First, fall, to see its hardness and strength, this I have done my own experiments. Take a piece of material, 20*20 size, and drop it hard on the concrete floor. The artificial stone of poor quality will be broken into many small pieces, and the good quality will be broken into two or three pieces at most, and if the force is not enough, It can bounce off the ground.

　　 Second, burn, take a thin strip of artificial stone and burn it on the fire. The poor quality artificial stone burns easily, and it burns very vigorously. The good quality artificial stone is The ones that cannot be burnt will be automatically extinguished unless they are added with combustion-supporting things. The reason is as follows: the fine quality artificial stone is made of aluminum hydroxide with three water molecules, so it has good flame retardancy and poor quality artificial stone. The stone powder part is calcium hydroxide (lime powder), which is not flame retardant.
