Panels and countertops are the most eye-catching "faces" of cabinets. "Face" is selected well. The owner not only looks decent but also is comfortable to use. At present, there are four main types of countertop materials in the market: refractory sheets, stainless steel, natural stone, and artificial stone. Now let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the countertops, stainless steel, natural stone, and artificial stone.
Fireproof board countertops
There are two kinds of fireproof board countertops: there are 16MM thick molding tabletops and 38MM thick countertops. The former is to process the water blocking strips when processing, just cut according to the required length, this intensity is not high, the grade is very high Low, basically close to elimination. The latter has also become mainstream in recent years because of its higher strength and aesthetic appearance. In addition to the abrasion resistance and natural color of fireproof board countertops, many people began to like it.
The disadvantage of the fire board countertop is that it has a certain length, it can't be processed like artificial stone, and there are obvious seams at the splicing, but if the size is within the size range of raw materials, it is a good choice.
Stainless steel table
The stainless steel table is bright and bright, and the performance is excellent. It generally adds a thin layer of stainless steel on the surface of the high-density fire board.
Advantages: strong, easy to clean, strong practicality. In recent years, due to the strong impact of the new concept of "European-European integration" modern cabinets, stainless steel countertops are also conforming to the development trend of the combination of beautiful and practical cabinets, and made corresponding improvements. For consumers who value "practical" considerations, or consumers who love metal textures, buying stainless steel countertops is not a bad idea.
Disadvantages: The vision is more "hard" and gives a "cold" feeling. There is a lack of reasonable and effective means of handling the corners and joints of the countertops.
Natural stone countertops
Natural stone includes various patterns of granite and marble, and black and white flowers are more commonly used.
Advantages: The density of natural stone is relatively large, texture is hard, scratch resistance is very prominent, wear resistance is good, and the texture is very beautiful, the cost is relatively low, the most commonly used price is only a few hundred yuan or so, belongs to An economical countertop material. The price of high-grade natural stone countertops also has a thousand dollars.
Disadvantages: 1. Natural stone has pores, easy to accumulate grease;
2. The natural stone is short, and the two pieces cannot be integrated together, and the gap is easy to grow bacteria;
3. The density of natural stone is large, and strong cabinet support is required. Although the texture is hard, it lacks elasticity. In the event of a heavy blow, cracks will occur and it will be difficult to repair. Some invisible natural cracks will crack when the temperature changes rapidly. The marble is brittle and it is impossible to make tabletops with a width of more than 1 meter.
Special reminds that some natural stone materials may be radioactive and emit poisonous gas. They do not meet the requirements of environmental protection. If no special treatment is performed, it may cause harm to the human body. Therefore, it is best to choose radiation tests.

Artificial stone countertops
Artificial stone, also known as polymer solid board, is a plate made of natural ore powder + masterbatch + acrylic resin, processed by high temperature and high pressure, with uniform texture and no hair pores. It is recognized by the market as being most suitable for modern kitchens. Cabinet panel material.
Advantages: Man-made stone is more wear-resistant, acid-resistant, high-temperature resistant, impact, pressure, flexural, anti-infiltration and other functions are also very strong. The deformation, bonding, turning and other parts of the treatment are unique; rich colors, the overall shape, and can be repeatedly polished renovation. Therefore, the anti-fouling power is strong, because the surface has no pores, oil stains and water stains are not easy to infiltrate, and general stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth or detergent; seamless bonding can be made with any length, and the adhesive with the same material will be two Grinding after bonding, seamless, no traces of joints.
Disadvantages: Obvious lack of naturalness, texture is relatively false; higher prices.
Specially reminded that even if it is seamless man-made stone, because of its different processing technology, the quality is also divided into threes and nines, so in the choice of a certain pick reputation better, service guaranteed brand. Insiders suggested that based on cost calculations, it is best not to consider artificial stones below $1,000.
On the group warm tips desktop maintenance five attention
1. Do not place high temperature objects on the countertops directly or for a long time. Hot pots, hot pots, or other over-high temperature appliances that are taken directly from stoves or ovens or microwave ovens can damage the countertops. Use a pan support with rubber feet, or put a thermal pad on the table. Do not rinse with cold water immediately after rinsing with cold water.
2. Avoid tapping the tabletop with sharp objects as far as possible to avoid scratches. No matter what kind of tabletop you choose, you should chop the food on the cutting board, in addition to avoiding the knife marks, the damage to the blade, but also to achieve better hygiene.
3. Keep the countertop as dry as possible. The refractory board, anti-folding table surface to avoid long-term flooding, to prevent the table open plastic deformation. Artificial stone countertops should prevent the bleaching agent and scale in the water from lightening the countertops and affecting the appearance.
4, to prevent strong chemicals contact with the table, such as to paint, metal cleaners, stove cleaners, methylene chloride, acetone (to nail polish), strong acid cleaning agents. If you accidentally come into contact with the above items, immediately flush the surface with plenty of soap and water. If stained with nail varnish, wipe it with an acetone-free cleaning agent (such as alcohol) and then rinse with water.
5. The erosion of chemical substances is not allowed for many materials. For example, stainless steel countertops may be rusted by salt, so care should be taken to avoid placing soy sauce bottles and other items directly on the countertops.
