In the process of home decoration, cabinets are part of the need for early consideration, because its production cycle is longer, so often after the kitchen is pasted the tiles, the cabinet manufacturers need to enter the field to measure. The survey found that many owners are very entangled when choosing a countertop for the kitchen. I don't know if it is made of artificial stone material, stainless steel or natural stone. In response to this confusion of the owners, Jiuzheng Building Materials Network recently interviewed relevant industry insiders, asking them to introduce the advantages and disadvantages of different materials kitchen countertops.
man made rock
Artificial stone is made of natural marble or other stone powder, and then added with artificial fiber, polyester resin binder, flame retardant, color and other extruded stone, mainly used in kitchen countertops.
Advantages: The artificial stone material has a smooth surface, no hair pores, natural stone texture and ceramic luster, and is available in a variety of colors. Its texture is acid and corrosion resistant, waterproof and easy to clean. It can be said to combine the advantages of stone, ceramic and wood. The artificial stone is very malleable, can shape any shape, and can be seamlessly spliced, the overall effect is very good, and this material is easy to process.
Insufficient: Although the artificial stone looks beautiful, but it is not durable, its hardness is not as good as that of granite. After scratching with hard things, it will leave a mark on the table. In addition, this material is also easy to penetrate, can not directly place the kitchen utensils after burning, otherwise the material will change color.
stainless steel
The stainless steel material is pressed from a sheet of steel sheet having a thickness of 1.2 mm to 2 mm. There are many types of this material, and the common ones are 201 and 304.
Advantages: Durable, easy to clean, can be seamlessly spliced, especially in welded stainless steel sinks. Therefore, among all mesa materials, it is the most practical one.
Insufficient: The stainless steel countertop has a single color, which is difficult to integrate with the cabinet style. It is easy to leave traces after being scratched by hard objects.
Natural Stone
Natural stone is a plate-shaped material which is processed after being extracted from natural rock mass. The material used as kitchen countertop is mainly granite. Its main component is aluminosilicate, which belongs to hard stone.
Advantages: Granite stone has uniform texture, rich color, hard texture, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. After polishing, the surface of the granite stone is as bright as a mirror, so it can be used to make the countertop surface without any extra maintenance.
Insufficient: Although the granite is hard, but because the stone is short, each stone is generally about 2.5 meters, so it needs to be spliced ​​with it, so there will be obvious stitching. In addition, the installation of granite countertops is more complicated. Yue Gangju
