First, the advantages of quartz stone cabinet countertops
1. High hardness and good wear resistance Quartz stone is made of quartz sand, resin, and other minerals, among which the chemical properties of quartz sand are very stable, and its texture is very hard and wear-resistant. The hardness of high-quality quartz countertops is as high as 7.5 grades, which is higher than the hardness of ordinary kitchen knives, spatulas, and other sharp tools, so there is no need to worry about scratching the surface of the countertop and affecting the overall appearance during use.
2. No radiation, green environmental protection Although some natural marble has a clear texture and good decorative effect, there is often a problem of radiation, and long-term contact will cause certain harm to the human body. However, there is no need to worry about this problem on the quartz cabinet countertop, its main component is silica, which is free of radiation. At the same time, in the processing process, even if there are minerals harmful to the human body, they will be treated, to control them within the qualified range and avoid harm to the human body.

3. Corrosion resistance, high compactness, easy to clean Through the above introduction, I believe everyone already knows the main components of quartz stone. The chemical properties of silica are very stable and not easily soluble in acids, so in daily life, even if it is contaminated with beverages such as oil, salt, sauce vinegar, or fruit juice, there is no need to worry about the corrosion of the quartz cabinet countertop. Secondly, after the quartz cabinet countertop is treated by a complex process, its structure is very compact and fine, with almost no porosity, and the water absorption rate is zero. So, even if there are drinks such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, or fruit juice that stay on the countertop for a long time, they will not penetrate the inside of the cabinet. In addition, the quartz cabinet countertop is not easy to penetrate and has good anti-fouling performance, so later cleaning and maintenance are also very simple and convenient.
4. High-temperature resistance, not easy to deform High-temperature resistance, not easy to deform is also one of the reasons why quartz stone cabinet countertops are loved by consumers, first of all, its main component element is silicon dioxide, and its melting point is 1750 °C. Secondly, even if the quartz cabinet countertop is not completely made of silica, the melting point of the countertop is above 1300°C after several complex processes. Therefore, when exposed to high temperatures during daily use, there is no need to worry about damaging the surface of the quartz cabinet countertop, it is also a completely flame-retardant material, which can be used in the kitchen to greatly improve the safety of cooking.
Second, the shortcomings of the quartz cabinet countertop
1. High price Compared with other kitchen cabinet countertop materials, the production process of quartz stone cabinet countertops is very complex, therefore, the production cost is relatively high, and the price of raw materials itself is not cheap, which leads to the problem of high prices, so not all families can afford it.

2. The quality difference is large The quality of the quartz cabinet counters on the market is uneven, and some bad merchants tend to be shoddy to make more profits, so we must pay attention to distinguish the quality of the product when choosing, so as not to buy inferior products, and affect the service life and the health of the family. To better ensure the quality of quartz stone cabinets, it is recommended to choose some well-known brands so that in addition to the quality being more guaranteed, the after-sales service system is also more sound.

The above is all about whether the quartz cabinet counter is good or not, through the analysis of advantages and disadvantages, I believe you must have a deeper understanding of the quartz cabinet countertop. Compared with other material countertops, quartz stone countertops have more obvious advantages and can be used as everyone’s first choice. However, the quality of the quartz cabinet countertop on the market cannot be 100% guaranteed, so we must not blindly listen to the propaganda of the merchant when choosing, but should have the ability to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.
