Why Choose Quartz Countertops

Speaking of cabinet countertops, it can be said that there are various styles, colors and materials. Common countertops are quartz stone, artificial stone, stainless steel, natural stone, veneer and other materials.  But do you know, in front of these dazzling materials with different advantages and disadvantages, most owners directly chose quartz stone.

The choice of quartz stone is not only the warm atmosphere it creates for home, but also the result of comprehensive comparison in terms of environmental protection, quality, color and other performance.

Quartz stone is a new type of stone that 90% quartz sand powder and 10% resin are pressed under vacuum and shaped under high temperature.  It is a new type of environment-friendly and green building material and decorative material that has no radioactive pollution and can be reused.

In the composition of quartz stone, the main body is quartz sand powder, accounting for about 90%, resin, pigment and other auxiliary materials accounting for about 10%.  These determine the hardness and rigidity of quartz stone are higher than marble and ordinary artificial stone, and also determine their following properties:

1. Not easy to scratch: quartz content is as high as 93%, and Shi Ying crystal is a natural mineral with a hardness second only to diamond in nature. Its surface hardness can be as high as Mohs hardness 7, which is much higher than sharp tools such as knives and shovels used in kitchens and will not be scratched by it.

2. Pollution-free: Quartz stone is a compact and nonporous composite material made under vacuum conditions. Its quartz watch has excellent corrosion resistance against the acid and alkali in the kitchen. Liquid substances used in daily use will not penetrate into its interior. Liquid placed on the surface for a long time can be wiped off with clean water or clean and bright cleaning agents with cloth. If necessary, the surface can be scraped off with a blade.

3. Easy To Maintenance: The shiny and bright surface is subjected to more than 30 complex polishing processes. It will not be scratched by a knife blade, will not be infiltrated by liquid substances, and will not cause yellowing, discoloration and other problems. Daily cleaning only needs to be washed with clear water, which is simple and easy to implement.  Even after a long period of use, its surface is as bright as that of the newly installed countertop, requiring no maintenance.

4. Non-combustible: Natural quartz crystals are typical refractory materials with melting points of over 1300 degrees. Quartz stone made of 93% natural quartz is completely flame retardant and will not burn due to contact with high temperature. It also has the incomparable high temperature resistance characteristics of artificial stone and other countertops.

5. Non-toxic and non-radiation: Quartz stone has a smooth surface and is flat and free of scratches and retention. The dense and non-porous material structure makes bacteria have no place to hide and can be in direct contact with food. It is healthy, non-toxic and non-radiation.

6. Rich colors: Through careful preparation of toner, various rich colors can be prepared.
