What kind of material is the cabinet countertop? I believe this problem is a question that many friends will have when buying cabinets. In this regard, the following content will recommend the materials of 3 common cabinet countertops in the market for you to choose from.
Artificial stone countertop
Artificial stone countertop: It is divided into three types: resin board, composite acrylic board and pure acrylic board. Resin board refers to a board that does not contain acrylic components, composite acrylic refers to a board with an acrylic content of 10% to 30%, and a pure acrylic refers to a board with an acrylic content of more than 30%. The higher the acrylic content, the milder the hand feel, which is close to plastic. On the contrary, the feel tends to be colder and closer to stone.
Artificial stone is recognized by the market as the most suitable cabinet panel material for modern kitchens. Compared with other materials, artificial stone is beautiful and practical. It has the richest colors and can be formed as a whole. At the same time, it can be seamlessly bonded at any length, and there are no traces at the bonding point, which can create a variety of tabletops. . At the same time, it has strong functions such as wear resistance, acid resistance, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, compression resistance, flexural resistance, and penetration resistance. Using unique bonding and polishing technology, artificial stone countertops can be seamlessly spliced, there are no pores on the surface, and there is no place for dirt and bacteria. Artificial stone has rich textures and colors, which is completely comparable to stone, but it has no radiation and is easier to clean. It is an ideal substitute for natural marble.
Disadvantages: the naturalness is obviously insufficient, the texture is relatively fake, the price is higher, and the anti-scalding ability is not strong. If the object is too hot, the color will fade, and the hardness is not enough, it is easier to scratch. In addition, some low-priced inferior countertops on the market are prone to oil infiltration.
Quartz stone countertop
The most popular and most popular countertop abroad is quartz stone, which looks beautiful and generous with good gloss. Since the main component of quartz stone countertops is silica, it has no risk of radiation and feels smooth and cold to the touch. The quartz stone countertop is made of super hard environmentally friendly composite quartz material, which will not leave any traces when directly scratched with a knife. It has excellent properties such as super wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and non-toxicity. Since the quartz stone countertops have almost no pores, there is no need to worry about oil penetration. You only need to wipe with clean water daily. The service life of quartz stone countertops is as long as several decades, and the maintenance period can also be extended to 2-3 years.
Disadvantages: the color can be selected in general, but the disadvantage is that the conjoined body has seams and the price is high.
Wooden countertop
In order to get close to nature, the kitchen often uses the color of wood to create a rustic style. In order to be in close contact with nature, pure wood It was first used as a countertop and processed into beautiful different shapes, which also resembled oak. Some harder woods such as oak wood are the best choice among all countertops. This kind of pure wood countertops has become popular in Europe and America, but it is still relatively rare in China.
Disadvantages: The wood gap is relatively large, it is easier to hide dirt and dirt, and it is easy to corrode when water enters.
