Everyone who leaves a message to Tuguliang will be concerned about one question: Looking at the decoration renderings, there are all kinds of materials for cabinets and countertops, but when we choose, it is either quartz stone or stainless steel?
In fact, there are no special restrictions on the choice of countertops. Just choose the countertop that suits you according to your own cooking habits. So today Tuguliang will give you an analysis on what material to choose for cabinet countertops.
1. Solid wood countertops
The appearance of solid wood countertops is definitely first-class, but when choosing, it is best to choose wood that grows slowly and has high density, as the price will relatively high. Of course, there are also more affordable spliced ??solid wood countertops. No matter which type, they need to be sealed, antibacterial and waterproof, otherwise cracking and mold will occur in minutes.

2. Fire-proof board countertop
Fire-proof board is actually particle board (artificial board). The price is more affordable than solid wood. It can be made into any pattern you want, and the surface has better fire-proof performance. But it is not hot-resistant, so you always need to use a pot holder, wipe it immediately when it is dirty, do not scratch it with sharp objects, and clean it diligently. If you are a lazy cancer patient, you should use it with caution.

3. Marble countertops
Marble countertops have low cost, natural texture, high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and not easy to deform.
However, the surface of marble has many pores, and dirt can easily seep in. Therefore, if you want to use natural stone for kitchen countertops, in addition to sealing it every two years to seal the pores on the surface, you also need to be very diligent. Clean quickly.

4. Artificial quartz stone countertops
Quartz stone is also a type of artificial stone. The difference is that it is made by breaking quartz stone and then bonding it with resin. The quartz stone countertop itself is very hard, not afraid of scratches, and resistant to acid, alkali and oil stains; its only disadvantage is that the splicing cannot be seamless and there will be some marks.

5. Stainless steel countertops
If your home has a simple or industrial style, stainless steel countertops are a good choice. Stainless steel countertops are known as the easiest countertops to clean. In addition to being fire-resistant, high-temperature resistant and easy to clean, they are also antibacterial. Moreover, stainless steel and artificial stone can be made into a seamless integrated design.
The only problem is that it has poor wear resistance and is particularly prone to flowering. Moreover, the steel plate of the stainless steel countertop is not thick and will deform and bulge after being heated for a long time.

6. Cabinet countertop size
The international kitchen countertop height is 80cm. If you do not request it, the manufacturer will follow this rule. In fact, according to ergonomics, it should have a reasonable algorithm:
①1/2 height (5~10cm). If your height is 165cm, then the height of the table is: 82.5 5 =87.5, that is, it can be between 88-93, and it is recommended to be 90cm.
②Height*0.54, or if you are 165cm tall, table height: 165*0.54=89.1, it is recommended to be 90cm.
③Some people may say that the height ratio of people is uncoordinated. What should I do? Then stand in front of the countertop, with your elbow joint at a 90-degree angle and about 5cm downward. This height is the correct height of the countertop.
The height of the low platform: It is most reasonable for the low platform to be 15-20cm lower than the high platform.
The width of the countertop: the width is generally considered to be 60cm, which can be customized according to the needs of the family.
