kitchen countertops

The width of the kitchen table and the choice of material is an important issue in home decoration. Generally speaking, the width of the kitchen table is most suitable between 40-60 centimeters, and this size is determined according to the individual situation and the size of the kitchen area. Meanwhile, the width of the washbasin is also a reference point for calculating the width of the kitchen table. Generally speaking, the width of the washbasin is between 50-60 centimeters, so the width of the kitchen countertop should be 10-30 centimeters greater than the width of the washbasin.

When choosing materials for kitchen countertops, there are several main options on the market today, fireproof board, stainless steel, natural stone, artificial stone, quartz stone. The following is an introduction to these materials.

1. Artificial stone: artificial stone is currently one of the most suitable cabinet countertop material technology for China's modern international kitchen. It not only affects the beauty and practicality, but also the development of a very rich color and the whole for molding characteristics. Artificial stone also has the advantages of wear-resistant, acid-resistant, high temperature-resistant, impact-resistant, pressure-resistant, folding-resistant, etc., and can have relatively strong resistance to penetration learning ability. However, artificial stone is easy to be scratched, hardness study is not enough, antibacterial and environmental protection work performance is not ideal.

2. Stainless steel: Stainless steel countertops have the characteristics of high hardness, high temperature resistance, long life, metal color is very beautiful, with black door plate, excellent visual effect.zero silica In addition, stainless steel countertops also have strong antibacterial ability. However, the visual feeling of stainless steel countertops more hard, lack of family warmth, so in the emphasis on personality and advocate a return to nature under the popular family is no longer favored.

3. Natural stone: natural stone itself has a natural unique beautiful texture and extremely hard texture. It has high density, high temperature resistance, outstanding scratch resistance, good wear resistance and low cost. Natural stone is categorized into different types, such as marble, granite and jade, all of which have natural lines and are more beautiful. However, natural stone is porous, easy to store grease and dirt, fragile, and can not be used to make countertops of more than 1 meter. In addition, the desktop made of natural stone will have joints, and these joints are also easy to accumulate dirt, affecting hygiene.

Four. FIRE-PROOF BOARD: Fireproof board counter is popular with people for its low price and is the mainstream product in Ambry market nowadays.white quartz benchtop It comes in a wide range of colors and can be used with different styles of cabinets. At the same time, this fireproof board countertop also has the advantages of moisture resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and easy to clean. However, the pressure resistance, scratch resistance and hardness of the fireproof board countertops can not meet the requirements, and the service life is short. Therefore, the fire board countertops have been increasingly unable to meet people's needs, the market share from the beginning of the 30% decline to less than 5%.

5. Quartz stone: currently the most popular, the most popular countertop material is quartz stone. Quartz stone countertops are beautiful and elegant, good gloss. Because the main component of quartz stone countertops is silica, so there is no danger of radiation, touch smooth and cool. Compared with other countertop materials, quartzite has incomparable characteristics such as wear-resistant, pressure-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and seepage-resistant. The rich color combinations give it the texture of natural stone and beautiful surface luster. Quartz stone countertops have the incomparable advantages of other materials. With the further maturation of production technology, quartz stone will be more cost-effective than other man-made stone (the price of resin is much higher than it should be), and the better the quality of quartz stone, the closer it is to nature, the less prone to deformation.

For companies with different materials of cabinet countertops, maintenance work methods are different. The following are some of the more common maintenance management methods:

1. Natural stone countertop maintenance: When there are stains on the countertop, it should be wiped clean in time to avoid stains entering the interior through the natural fine grain. In order to prevent the countertop from cracking,quartz benchtop it is necessary to avoid direct contact between the countertop and overheated objects.

2. Maintenance of artificial stone countertops:Artificial stone countertops should avoid bleach and limescale in the water to reduce the color of the countertop, affecting the aesthetics. In actual use, avoid direct contact with high temperature objects.

3. Fireproof decorative panel countertop maintenance: water should be accumulated as soon as possible after use, after the water stains dry, avoid long-term soaking countertops to prevent countertops from opening deformation. Avoid the use of sharp tools directly hit the desktop, the use of the blade should be placed on the cutting board on the desktop. Frying pan can not be placed on the table immediately after cooking.

4. Stainless steel countertops maintenance: chemical effects on many materials have a corrosive effect on the countertops. For example, stainless steel countertops, stained with salt may rust, so be careful to avoid putting soy sauce bottles and other items directly on thecountertops

No matter which material countertops, cleaning and maintenance work is essential. The kitchen is the most likely place to harbor bacteria, so for the above research methods for everyone to learn are a very likely to help.
