    Which is the best choice for the whole cabinet countertop?

    1. Natural marble cabinet countertop:

    The aesthetics of the natural marble cabinet cavity Li countertop is not to say, the color is rich, the natural stone texture, and the abstract painting that wants to splash ink. The overall feeling is noble and atmospheric. However, marble is naturally formed and has a porous structure, which is difficult to clean if it seeps into the sewage.

    Debris and swag accumulate and are difficult to clean thoroughly, making them a breeding ground for bacteria. In addition, due to the presence of heavy metal substances in the stone, the decoration has a certain degree of disadvantage and radioactivity, which may be harmful to human health.

    2. Granite cabinet countertop:

    Granite has better antibacterial regeneration ability than marble, high density, high hardness, strong wear resistance, and is not easy to damage. However, the disadvantage is that the length of granite is not enough, and it usually requires several pieces of granite splicing, and it is easy to hide dirt at the joints. But if the level of splicing is high, there is no need to worry about this problem.

    3. Stainless steel cabinet countertop:

    Although the stainless steel cabinet countertop is not as good as granite and marble in appearance, the appearance is relatively low-key. However, the stainless steel material is very easy to take care of, and it is generally very clean when wiped with a rag. However, steel wool balls and sharp tools are easy to add scars to the surface of stainless steel, so pay attention to maintenance.

    4. Fireproof board cabinet countertop:

    The fireproof board is based on MDF, which has good colors, convenient modeling, and good impact resistance, wear resistance and scratch resistance. Like stone, fireproof board cannot form a countertop in one piece, it needs to be spliced, and the joints are easy to hide dirt and bacteria.

    5. Tile cabinet countertop:

    The patterns of ceramic tiles are diverse, suitable for creating various styles of cabinets, and retro style and pastoral style are exclusive to tile countertops. However, daily use will leave dirt marks in the cracks of the tiles, which is difficult to fight for a long time and easy to breed bacteria. Moreover, it is easy to break under the impact of heavy objects.

    6. Artificial stone cabinet countertop:

    The artificial stone texture is rich in color, and its effect can be comparable to that of natural stone. And it is easier to clean than natural stone, can achieve no splicing, no metal, non-toxic and non-radiation, is an ideal cabinet countertop material. But pay attention to the quality of artificial stone, if it is an unqualified product, it can not reflect the advantages of artificial stone.

    When we decorate the kitchen at home, we will encounter a lot of problems, and many people are entangled in whether to make the whole cabinet or the on-site workers to make the cabinet. There are many people who choose the whole cabinet when it comes to quality, but the problem comes again. Because there are so many materials for the overall cabinet, people who decorate for the first time will have difficulty in choosing.

    Moreover, the material of the countertop is not less than the material of the cabinet, which is a headache to buy, and often chooses a material that I don't like very much in a hurry. So how do we choose the right cabinet and its countertop material? Which one is better?

    For the overall cabinet, there are many kinds of materials, and I think the best is the stainless steel material. Its lifespan can reach more than 30 years, while wooden, due to the dampness of the kitchen, the cabinet can only be used for 5 to 8 years. Compared with stainless steel, it is still a big difference.

    Therefore, it is recommended to choose stainless steel for the material of the whole cabinet, which is not only beautiful, but also has a longer service life.

    The countertop is still recommended to use quartz material, the hardness of this material is quite high, even if we accidentally scratch the countertop with a knife, there will be no chips and cracks. And he is very resistant to dirt, as long as you gently wipe it with a wet towel, you can clean it well. Even if it is grilled over an open flame, there is no need to worry about it, it can withstand high temperatures of more than 1,300 degrees, and it is a very safe material.

    It also has good impermeability, because it is a new type of stone synthesized with quartz crystals and resin and other trace elements, ordinary stains cannot penetrate its interior at all. In this way, the growth of bacteria is well prevented.

    In general, there are very many options for overall cabinets, and many families will choose to use wood. Although the wood is beautiful, it is not cheap, the key is that its service life is very short, and it is more troublesome to replace it later. It is recommended to use stainless steel as a whole cabinet, which is similar to the wooden one, but it has a long service life.

    The countertop is the most striking "face" of the cabinet, so you should put more thought into it when buying. At present, there are four main types of countertop materials on the market: natural stone, artificial stone, laminate and stainless steel.

    Natural stone countertops: granite and marble with various patterns.

    Disadvantages: porous, easy to accumulate oil scale; Natural stone is shorter, and the two pieces cannot be integrated when they are spliced; The density is high and requires strong cabinet support; The texture is hard, but the elasticity is insufficient, cracks will occur in case of heavy blows, and it is difficult to repair, and some invisible natural cracks will also crack when the temperature changes sharply;

    In addition, if the natural stone is not treated by special technology, it will be radioactive and emit toxic gas, which does not meet the requirements of environmental protection and will cause harm to the human body, so it is best to do radiation testing when choosing.

    Stainless steel countertops: Stainless steel is a traditional raw material used in home cabinets and kitchen worktops.

    Advantages: sturdy, easy to clean, strong practicability.

    Disadvantages: The vision is "hard", giving people a cold feeling, and it is not easy to change; Lack of reasonable and effective treatment means in each corner part of the counter surface and each joint part.

    Laminate countertop: commonly known as fireproof board countertop.

    Its base material is MDF, and the surface layer is fireproof material and decorative veneer. The laminate veneer used for cabinet countertops is usually imported, and the plane pressurization, heating, and pasting processes are usually used.

    Advantages: bright color, wear resistance, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, giving people a new feeling, and the cabinet counter surface is the same, supplemented by a built-in gas stove, which increases the feeling of beauty.

    Disadvantages: The joints of the corner table top are spliced and lack effective treatment methods, and silicone bonding, plastic and special metal embedding are usually used to increase the appearance; Countertops are susceptible to erosion by water and moisture, and improper use can lead to degumming, deformation, substrate expansion, and other consequences.

    Engineered stone countertops: Recognized as the most suitable material for cabinet panels in modern kitchens.

    Advantages: more wear-resistant, acid-resistant, high-temperature resistant. It also has strong functions such as impact resistance, compression resistance, bending resistance, and penetration resistance.

    The treatment of its deformation, bonding, turning and other parts is unique; The colors are rich, the whole is formed, and can be repeatedly polished and refurbished. There are no pores on the surface, strong anti-fouling, oil stains and water stains are not easy to penetrate into it, and general stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth or detergent; Seamless bonding of any length with no marks at the seams.

    Cons: Naturalness is obviously lacking, and the texture is relatively fake; **Higher.

    The countertop is made of fireproof board, salinite, crystal, aluminum, composite acrylic, pure acrylic, artificial marble, quartz and stainless steel. The first three are rarely done. The composite acrylic is very good, with good flexibility, good density, no bleeding, no seams, and high temperature resistance of about 100 degrees.

    Quartz stone is the best, with high hardness, scratch resistance, and a high temperature of 200 degrees. Stainless steel is affordable, resistant to bad and has seams.

    1.Natural stone marble.

    Advantages: rich color, soft texture, natural and diverse texture, easy to cut or envy the cover carved and formed;

    Disadvantages: Because it is naturally formed, the fine loose cracks are easy to break, because the stone is a porous material structure, if there is dirt and sewage infiltration during production, transportation or construction, it is difficult to clean and easy to crack.

    2.Granite.

    Advantages: granite has high density, high hardness, and the surface is very wear-resistant, and it is also one of the materials often used in home decoration.

    Disadvantages: As a cabinet countertop material, the length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall countertop (especially U-shaped and L-shaped countertops), there will definitely be seams, and these seams are also easy to hide dirt.

    3 artificial stone. Advantages: The texture and color of artificial stone are rich, which can be completely comparable to stone, and it is non-toxic and non-radiation, easy to clean, and can truly achieve seamless splicing. It is an economical, environmentally friendly and hygienic material.

Some low-end products also have problems such as fading and discoloration, poor aging resistance, and oil stains.

    4.Fireproof board.

    Advantages: MDF as the base material, the surface is covered with fireproof board, which has good impact resistance, wear resistance and scratch resistance.

    Disadvantages: Most of the materials used in the manufacture of fireproof board countertops in China are low-cost MDF, which cannot provide effective guarantee in terms of performance and environmental protection.

    5 stainless steel. Advantages: The progress of processing technology has given this material new beautiful points, such as surface drawing, embossing treatment, etc., the appearance is fashionable and avant-garde, favored by young urban consumers, and due to the characteristics of stainless steel materials, the surface is very easy to care for and clean.

    Disadvantages: People often use steel wool balls and other cleaning and hygiene, and other metal sharp objects or ceramic utensils will also add many scars to its fashionable appearance, which cannot be repaired, so the stainless steel countertop will be more and more flowery.

    The above details some of the advantages and disadvantages of these materials, you can choose the right one for you according to your own preferences, when installing the countertop, we in addition to using professional glue to fill the gaps densely, for the aesthetics of the joints, you can also let the construction personnel use a grinder to polish and polish, so that the seams are more beautiful and fashionable.
