Comparison between composite acrylic and quartz stone
1. Price: Compared with artificial stone, quartz stone is more expensive. But the price of high-quality acrylic countertops is comparable to quartz countertops.
2. Hardness: Quartz crystal is a natural mineral whose hardness is second only to diamond in nature, and its surface hardness can be as high as 7.5 on the Mohs scale. The acrylic table is soft and prone to hard scratches.
3. High temperature resistance: Natural quartz crystal is a typical refractory material, its melting point is as high as 1300 degrees, and the quartz stone made of 90-95% natural quartz is completely flame retardant and will not be exposed to high temperature. It can cause burning, and it also has high temperature resistance that is unmatched by artificial stone and other countertops. Acrylic countertops should avoid placing overheated objects to avoid cold and heat shrinkage and discoloration.
4. Cleaning and maintenance: If the countertop is stained with hard-to-remove stains, the quartz stone is more difficult to decontaminate, because it is difficult to polish and polish without special equipment, and the acrylic countertop can be polished with fine sandpaper if there are stains Can be decontaminated.
5. Seams: Acrylic tabletops can be seamlessly bonded at any length. The adhesive of the same material will bond the two pieces together and polish them together. Quartz stone countertops will have seams to some extent.
