What is the best material for cabinet countertops?
By carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages of cabinet countertops, we can see which material is most suitable for daily use at home: 1. Natural stone countertops are divided into granite countertops and marble countertops. The difference between these two countertops lies in their different appearances, such as soft marble patterns, the appearance of biological relics and irregular surface stripes; On the other hand, granite is slightly white or gray with spots on its surface, and the addition of potash feldspar makes it red or flesh-colored. The advantages of the two are almost the same, such as high hardness, good wear resistance, and subtle scratches are not particularly conspicuous; But they also have the same shortcomings, that is, there are seams on the surfaces of the two, which are easy to hide evil people and shelter evil people; Moreover, because of its high hardness, when two stones need to be bonded, there can be no gaps, and these gaps will accumulate dirt in future use, resulting in an unsightly appearance of the countertop. Second, the artificial stone countertop is the cabinet countertop that is used more now. Mainly because it has many advantages, including the following four points: 1. Wear resistance, acid resistance and high temperature resistance. These three points just meet the requirements of the kitchen for the cabinet countertop, which is very suitable for daily use. 2. There are no pores on the surface of the countertop, and dirt such as oil stains and water stains will not penetrate into it, so it will not look dirty even after long-term use. 3. If the cabinet needs a long countertop, the artificial stone can be bonded seamlessly without any gaps. 4. If there are scratches on the surface, it can be polished with gauze paper dipped in water to avoid leaving traces on the surface. Third, the biggest advantage of stainless steel countertops is that they are easy to clean and very suitable for lazy people; But the disadvantage is that it can't be used in the corner of the cabinet, and the surface will not be repaired if it is scratched carelessly, which will leave traces on the table and affect the appearance. Fourth, the advantage of the fire board countertop is bright color, which can satisfy the sensory enjoyment of the decoration owner; Its wear resistance and high temperature resistance are better. Its disadvantages are: 1. Not suitable for cabinet countertops with corners. If the corner is a fire-resistant board, the cracks in the middle need to be filled by other processes. 2. The fireproof board mesa is not moisture-proof. If there is water stain on the countertop for a long time, it will cause its deformation and affect its use. Advantages of granite: granite has high density, high hardness and wear resistance, and it is also one of the materials often used in home decoration. Compared with natural marble, granite has better antibacterial regeneration ability among the materials that can be used for kitchen countertops. Disadvantages: As the material of cabinet countertops, natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall countertop (especially U-shaped and L-shaped countertops), there will definitely be seams, and these seams are also easy to hide evil and shelter evil.
