These advantages are beyond the natural stone.
How to choose artificial stone countertops:
The selection of countertops depends on whether it is a formal product or not because there are many manual workshops that process artificial stone countertops. They do not have formal machinery and equipment. Some of the processing procedures are replaced by manual operations. Such products will have problems such as large color difference or even discoloration, easily deformed, uneven thickness, and seepage of oil. Regular brands don't have this kind of situation, and there are manufacturers' anti-counterfeiting marks on the back. Touching hands, the feel of the two are also different, a smooth and delicate, a sense of astringency. After the artificial stone is polished, the surface has full brightness, and the brightness of the inferior artificial stone always looks very vague.
Second, look at the work of the business. Mainly to see whether artificial stone surface is smooth, there are no bumps, joints are smooth, there are no seam marks, of course, because of its translucent crystal stone, it is to see the seam marks, touch, as long as they can not touch After that, it will be qualified.
Another point is the thickness of the stone. The standard artificial stone thickness should not be less than 11mm after polishing, and now some manufacturers have less than 11mm for the sake of profit. After grinding, they may be only 10mm or less. Although the difference may seem trivial, your *** may be a bit embarrassing.
In the end, you should pay attention to the manufacturer's inspection report and after-sales card. The formal qualified products are indispensable.
Expert Tip: Do not use granite as a kitchen countertop The whole cabinet has become the first choice for home decoration kitchens, but according to the investigation of the environmental protection department, nearly 70% of indoor air pollution exceeds the standard from the kitchen. An expert from the China Indoor Decoration Association's Environmental Monitoring Center reminded consumers that home decoration should be alert to "contamination" of cabinets.
The first is that the volume of material pollution cabinets account for at least 1/3 of the kitchen, and its main raw material is artificial panels. If the material is not up to standard, there will be pollution, plus the use of open fire in the kitchen, the temperature will be high, will accelerate the volatilization of harmful substances.
Followed by the tabletop pollution, many people prefer to use stone as the countertop, but there are radioactive materials in the granite; some artificial stone synthetic resin, the use of plastic containing benzene and volatile organic compounds.
In response, experts advise consumers:
When choosing the whole cabinet, it is best to visit the store in person and smell if there is a strong irritating odor.
It is best not to install a backboard on the kitchen countertop, which is not only economical but also environmentally friendly and easy to clean. Even if it is to be used, double-panels are used, and the single-panel contamination is serious.
Some of the more formal cabinets used box material is white Xilai board, containing green moisture-proof agent, and all the holes in the box are fully covered, which can prevent moisture from entering and reduce the release of formaldehyde.
Experts also reminded that after new cabinets are installed, the kitchen should be opened frequently and the kitchen should not be arranged too full.
