Quartz has been developed in my country for more than ten years. With the continuous improvement of the production capacity and technology of China’s quartz stone manufacturers, the price of quartz stone has become more and more affordable, and more people have begun to choose quartz stone as the main decorative material, such as floor paving, indoor wall hanging and modeling. However, cabinet countertops are the most widely used, but the cracking phenomenon of countertops after the installation has been plagued by manufacturers and processors.
First of all, we should first understand the cause and location of the crack. Quartz stone plate is a brittle polymer composite material, which has the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction. It has certain shrinkage stress, impact toughness, elongation at break, etc. When the material cannot withstand the internal stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction or suffers Cracking will occur in severe external impact. The cracking location is generally the edge crack extending inward or the opening around the hole.
After cracks appear, how should we stop the cracks from extending and repairing it? After the countertop is cracked, a round hole drill should be used to drill the top of the crack extension direction to prevent the countertop from continuing to crack. The repair should be performed by professionals. First, the cracks need to be embedded; then glue is prepared and poured into the embedded seams; after the glue is completely cured, polishing is performed. However, there will be traces after the quartz stone is repaired, which will have a certain impact on the overall aesthetics. Reminder: Brand quartz stone plate manufacturers have a one-year warranty period. If the cracking problem caused by the plate’s own problems, you can apply for the manufacturer’s after-sales service to request a new countertop during the warranty period.
