Many owners are concerned about the problem of cabinet countertops. Today, the editor will explain to you how to buy quartz countertops. In fact, the quartz stone market is very messy, and I found a lot of brands when I went out and walked around. Everyone knows what the quartz content of their countertops is. In fact, only 4 simple methods are needed to identify the quality of quartz.
1. The quartz stone with good weight is produced by the press with high pressure, and the quartz stone with poor weight is produced by the heavy press. The density of the plate is higher, so the quartz stone of the same size will be heavier. The quartz stone content also ranges from 80% to 94%. The higher the quartz content, the better the quality of the quartz stone countertops.
2. The thickness of quartz stone for cabinet countertops is 1.2 cm and 1.5 cm. Because quartz stone has high hardness but is more brittle than artificial stone, it is recommended to use 15 cm thick quartz stone, but many manufacturers actually produce it by rubbing the edge ball. The plate is only 14% or even 13.5%. Responsible manufacturers will not save this 1%. Therefore, it is recommended not to buy quartz countertops that do not really reach 15%.
3. Hard objects such as keys are scratched with quartz stones. The main component is quartz quartz sand, which is silicon dioxide. The hardness is basically second only to diamonds in nature. If it is a real good quartz stone, there will only be a line after scraping with a key, and it will be less obvious after scrubbing, and it is poor. Quartz stone countertops containing calcium powder and other inferior materials will have marks and white powder after being scratched with a key.
4. Soy sauce tested on quartz stone countertops soy sauce will not bleed for a few days. Inferior quartz stone countertops bleed in one day.
