What is the common countertop material quartz stone for cabinets?

At present, the common countertop materials for cabinets are man-made quartz stone and acrylic, as well as stainless steel, they have their own advantages and characteristics.

Quartz stone material countertops is now the most common type of cabinet countertops on the market, its main component contains more than 90% of the quartz crystals, resin, and some other trace elements, is a synthetic material.

The production of quartz stone countertops process has two kinds of: inverted molding and pressing molding.

Inverted molding: The quartz crystals are poured into a pre-made mold and left to dry naturally.

Press molding: directly mix the quartz crystal with other materials such as resin, and then press the quartz crystal into shape through high temperature and high pressure.

What is the difference between the two processes?

In the first inverted molding process, the quartz crystals are poured directly into the mold and then naturally air-dried. The air-drying process takes a lot of time, in this development, large particles of quartz crystals will be deposited in the research model as well as the bottom, small particles suspended in the upper layer of the society, which ultimately affects the company's finished product is not uniform on both sides, low density. This is easier to seep oil in the later use, not resistant to dirt, not resistant to scratch.

However, if the second process, the quartz crystal directly into the model, through mechanical high temperature and high pressure compression molding, there will be no uneven particles in the finished product, on the contrary, the rapid molding caused by mechanical action will make the quartz stone particle size is the same, and the density is also higher. In the later use of pressed quartz stone countertops, can effectively avoid countertop breakage and oil leakage. Therefore, branded quartz stone is usually press molded in the market, and its biggest advantage is that it is not afraid of infiltration.

How to separate two different processes of quartz stone countertops? Simply observe whether the two sides of the quartz stone are even. If both sides are even and not affected by high temperatures, it is a pressed quartz stone countertop.

How to choose quartz stone countertops in the market?

The first step in choosing a quartzite countertop is to look at its thickness, as the thickness of a quartzite countertop directly affects the seismic and load-bearing capacity. The common thickness of quartz stone countertops is 1.5cm, occasionally 2.0cm, both thicknesses of quartz stone can be seen in the market, 1.5cm or less can be basically excluded.

Secondly, go to see the important components of quartz stone countertops composition and content values. High-quality quartz crystal content of quartz stone countertops to be more than 90%, about this point has not been no very good to make a distinction, if the partners have this concern, you can provide the industrial production manufacturers to learn from the study of artificial quartz stone testing work report.

Finally, you can also see the density of quartz stone, generally pressed and molded quartz stone density is very high, not easy to penetrate.
