What are the materials of the overall cabinet countertops

The choice of cabinet countertops is very important, because only when the countertops maintain good quality, can we effectively prevent us from 'sickness in the mouth' when we eat food.

Natural marble

Advantages: Natural marble has relatively high density, hard texture, outstanding scratch resistance, and The grinding performance is good, and it has natural texture and texture, which is very beautiful.

Disadvantages: natural stone has pores, which is easy to accumulate grease. Natural stone is short and cannot be integrated when two pieces are spliced. The gap is easy to breed bacteria. The natural stone has a high density and requires strong cabinet support; although the texture is hard, However, the elasticity is insufficient, and cracks will occur if it is hit hard, and it is difficult to repair. Some invisible natural cracks will also crack when the temperature changes sharply; natural marble is brittle, and it is impossible to make countertops with a width of more than 1 meter.

Granite

Advantages: As a traditional cabinet countertop material, granite has a high density, high hardness, and a very wear-resistant surface. This reduces the possibility of hiding dirt to a certain extent. Tests have proved that among all the materials that can be used for kitchen countertops, granite has better anti-bacterial regeneration ability.

Disadvantages: There are limitations of natural materials. The length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall countertop, there must be seams, and these seams are also easy to hide dirt. If you like natural materials very much, granite with strong antibacterial ability is an ideal choice, but you must pay special attention to the level of joints of the construction workers.

Special reminder: The above two countertops are all natural materials. Some materials of natural stone may be radioactive and emit toxic gas, which does not meet the requirements of environmental protection. If no special processing is carried out, it may cause harm to the human body. , So it is best to do a radiation test when choosing.

Mosaic tiles

Advantages: It is the first choice for kitchen countertops. In recent years, the colors have become richer and changeable. The collage technique brings unexpected effects and can create different decorative styles. Heat-resistant, dirt-resistant, and not suitable for scratching. Even if it is damaged, small bricks can be easily repaired quickly.

Disadvantages: the tiles are prone to cracks, and the bright and shiny appearance will also cause discoloration due to long-term use.

Artificial stone

It is divided into imported and domestically produced, made of stone powder and artificial fiber through high temperature and high pressure. Its main feature is that it is colorful, has no pores on the surface, has strong stain resistance, acid resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and is easy to clean. It has both the elegance of natural marble and the hardness of granite. It has wood-like delicate and warm feeling, ceramic-like luster, extremely plasticity, tight seams, even seamless, rounded and smooth lines, and can make any shape. Among the imported artificial stone countertops, DuPont Corian and Selelite are the top products in the countertops, but the price per square meter is one to two thousand yuan more expensive than domestically produced countertops; domestically produced artificial stone countertops, Monterey and Nairn stone are of good quality.
