Why does quartz stone become the preferred surface material for countertops ?

Countertops are essential in our daily life, including cabinet countertops and windowsills at home, cash register, guide and test countertops in business, etc. Among many mesa materials, the application of quartz stone has occupied the first place. Why do more and more mesas choose quartz stone?

1. Good wear resistance
Quartz mesa is usually composed of more than 90% quartz ore and about 10% resin. Quartz sand provides hardness, resin plays a bonding role and provides toughness. Due to the high hardness and high density of quartz stone, its surface hardness can reach Mohs hardness level 6, which is close to the hardness of diamond and much higher than the sharp tools such as knives and shovels used in the kitchen. Therefore, even if a hard object is used to scrape the table, its table is not easy to be scratched and scratched.

2. Good dirt resistance
Usually, when we use oil salt and other condiments, it is easy to sprinkle it on the table. If the table has poor dirt resistance and easy color penetration, the table may leave traces, which will directly affect the beauty of the whole kitchen. The quartz stone table has excellent dirt resistance and corrosion resistance. It has good corrosion resistance to the acid and alkali substances in the kitchen. It is also convenient to clean and easy to maintain. Food grade antibacterial high-density quartz stone table top has dense surface, no pores, no water absorption and strong stain resistance. Soy sauce and stains do not seep on the table top. In daily cleaning, simply clean the table top with clean water, and the maintenance is super easy!

3. Good fire resistance
The countertop can be said to be the hardest member in the kitchen. It has to withstand the test of hot pot and splashed hot oil and soup every day. Therefore, an excellent kitchen countertop must have good fire performance, which is also an important guarantee for kitchen safety. The quartz table is not only high hardness, but also quite good fire resistance. The basic raw material of quartz stone is mainly quartz sand particles, and the melting point of quartz stone itself is more than 1300 degrees. After adding a small amount of composite materials, its surface still has quite high anti burn ability. What often burns the table top in the family is the hot coke slag falling off from the cigarette butts or the bottom of the pot. The quartz table top can not only be completely flame retardant, but also will not appear depression, spots and other phenomena. The excellent fire protection performance allows the quartz table top to maintain a lasting and clean, with high temperature resistance unmatched by artificial stone table top.

4. Good decoration
The designs and colors of quartz stone table top are very changeable, with beautiful and generous appearance and good decoration. The pigment of quartz stone is mainly mineral material with strong anti fading ability. It is difficult to observe the color change with the naked eye after perennial local contrast irradiation under strong sunlight. It can basically be considered as a non fading material. Coupled with its excellent impermeability, it is not easy to yellowing and discoloration. A good quartz stone countertop often has more realistic patterns and stronger three-dimensional sense. It can hang and hit many expensive natural stone countertops in visual effect. Its service life is also very long. Even if we use it for 5 or 10 years, its appearance is still as bright as the newly installed table. As long as it is used properly, it does not need too much special protection and maintenance.
