Rich in colors, diverse patterns, fire-proof and moisture-proof, oil-resistant, easy to clean, economical and affordable. The fireproof board table top can be connected with the cabinet body with the same material, and the overall decoration effect is good. However, most of the materials used in the manufacture of fireproof boards are low-priced density boards, which cannot be guaranteed in terms of performance and environmental protection. The quality of the internal materials has a direct impact on the service life of the fireproof board countertops. The base material of the fireproof board is density board. It is easy to swell due to water absorption, so long-term water immersion should be avoided to prevent deformation of the surface of the table. In addition, the fireproof board has the same length limitation as natural stone, which cannot realize the overall perfect seamless splicing, and the gaps in the section joints are obvious.
