Advantages and disadvantages of quartz stone countertop

Advantage:

1. Durable: Although it is an artificial stone, its main material is quartz stone, which is a natural mineral second only to diamond in hardness in nature. Its hardness can reach level 7, which is far higher than the sharp tools commonly used in the kitchen, such as knives. Therefore, the kitchen counter made of quartz stone has the characteristics of cutting resistance, abrasion resistance and not easy to scratch, and its service life will be relatively long.

2. Dirt resistance: there is no pores on the surface of quartz stone table, so it is relatively convenient to clean and has strong dirt resistance. The common condiments such as oil and salt sprinkled on the countertop will not easily leave traces. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of quartz stone countertop is good, and it has good corrosion resistance to acid and alkali substances in the kitchen. Liquid substances used daily will not invade the interior of quartz stone. Therefore, we only need to use clean water or professional detergent to clean normally.

3. Good fire resistance: the quartz stone table contains 93% natural quartz, and the melting point is more than 1300 degrees. Therefore, even in case of fire, it can be completely flame-retardant, without fear that it will be damaged. Because of this feature, compared with other artificial stones, it is very suitable for decoration of kitchen countertops and will not burn due to contact with high temperature.

4. Good decoration: quartz stone combines the advantages of natural stone and artificial stone, with natural texture, smooth texture, more rich colors, and good decoration. Moreover, the surface is processed by dozens of complex polishing processes, and it is not easy to appear yellowing and discoloration.

Disadvantages:

1. No bearing capacity: compared with natural stone, the bearing capacity of quartz stone is not very good, and it cannot bear too heavy weight and impact. Moreover, if the quartz stone is damaged by external pressure, it is difficult to recover.

2. Not easy to process: because of the high hardness and density of quartz, it is not easy to process, and the shape of stone table is relatively simple. It can not be seamlessly spliced, it is not easy to make complex shapes, and it is not easy to repair problems and bumps.

3. High price: Many people may have doubts that the price of quartz stone on the market is not high, and some even only cost 100 or 200 yuan per square meter. However, we should pay attention not to be misled by poor quality quartz stone. The price of real regular and easy to use quartz stone is biased, and the starting point is higher than other man-made stones.

4. Chemical sensitivity: ordinary household cleaners containing bleach or acidic chemicals will damage quartz stone countertops after long-term use, so pay attention.
