What are the materials of the cabinet countertops

There are many kitchen cabinet materials available on the market, so among these various materials, what kind of material is better? Let's analyze the three common ones below.

Natural stone

Marble: rich in color, soft in texture, natural and diverse in texture, easy to cut or carve into shape;

Because it is naturally formed, the fine loose cracks are easy to break. Because the stone is a porous material structure, if dirt and sewage penetrate during production, transportation or construction, it is difficult to clean and easy to crack. In daily cleaning, it is inevitable that some residues and dirt will fill in the cracks as the wipes are wiped, and become a breeding ground for bacteria. During the long process of natural stone formation in nature, due to the presence of heavy metal substances, there will be more or less radiation, which may cause harm to human health.

Granite: Granite has high density, high hardness and abrasion resistance. It is also one of the materials often used in home decoration. Compared with natural marble, granite is anti-bacterial among the materials that can be used for kitchen countertops. The regeneration ability is better.

The length of natural stone as a material for cabinet countertops is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall countertop (especially U-shaped and L-shaped countertops), there must be seams. These joints The seams are also easy to hide dirt.

If you like natural materials very much, then granite is an ideal choice, but you must pay special attention to the level of the joints of the construction workers to prevent hidden sanitary hazards.

Artificial stone

Artificial stone has the color and texture of natural stone, and can be divided into different series, each series There are many colors. When purchasing, you can choose artificial stone with suitable texture and color to match the home color and decoration grade of different Wenzhou villas.

When purchasing artificial stone, users don’t have to worry about the effect of the cabinet due to the chromatic aberration. The artificial stone surface has no pores, oil stains and water stains are not easy to penetrate into it, and it has strong stain resistance and is easy to clean. Artificial stone is made of stone powder processed by a Wenzhou home improvement designer. It is thinner and lighter than natural stone. In application, it can reduce the load-bearing capacity of the cabinet. However, according to cost analysis, consumers currently choose countertops. It is recommended not to buy artificial stone countertops less than 1,000 yuan, because its quality is difficult to guarantee. Extended service life.

Stainless steel

Everyone knows that stainless steel is a metal, and it is expensive. Simeite Decoration Design Studio introduced that stainless steel countertops have a good integrity, and there will be no cracks in any place, because stainless steel is very strong. Moreover, the stainless steel countertops are more environmentally friendly and will not generate radiation for easy cleaning. The water basin is also connected as a whole, without slits, and will not breed bacteria. Of course, it will never fade, it is also a product with super waterproof performance and it is not afraid of impact, even if the sky falls, it may not collapse.

However, there are many shortcomings. First of all, the price is calculated according to one set, so it is a kind of integrated cabinet. The second is that the mass is very large, which is not convenient for transportation, and the second is that it is not insulated and will transfer heat. The biggest flaw is the color problem, which gives people a cold feeling.

In general, stainless steel is the best antibacterial property; the most environmentally friendly is the artificial stone surface, which is also a comparison An economical material; natural marble is very good in all aspects, but there will be some cracks on the surface.
