What is the best material to use for kitchen countertops? Do you know?

The countertop of the cabinet plays the role of protecting the cabinet, and it should have the characteristics of waterproof, fireproof, and easy to clean. The countertop itself should also have a certain compression resistance and not be easily damaged, so which material is better for the countertop? Let's take a look with Hangzhou decoration company Maibo!

1. Marble countertop.

Marble has a natural texture and rich colors, and no matter what the style of decoration, you can buy a piece of marble in the market to match the home theme style. Marble has high hardness, is very wear-resistant and has a long service life, and is not easy to deform when used as a countertop. Of course, marble also has its own disadvantages, because it is naturally generated, it has the characteristics of many tiny pores on the surface, these pores are very easy to absorb sewage, and it is very difficult to clean after a long time.

In addition, marble has a certain degree of radiation, so it is necessary to choose carefully when choosing.

Second, tile countertops.

Tile countertops are very easy to clean, resistant to high temperatures, have a lot of colors and patterns, and are also very affordable. The disadvantage is that there are several tiles spliced together, which are uneven and very easy to crack and fall off.

3. Granite countertops.

Like marble, granite is a natural stone, but it is less radiant than marble. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance and high hardness, and will not be easily worn. However, if the surface of the surface encounters an acidic or greasy liquid, it must be washed off immediately with alkaline soapy water.

With proper care, 230 years of granite countertops is not a problem at all.

Fourth, stainless steel countertop.

The stainless steel countertop is a combination of basin, baffle and countertop, so there will be no gaps, and there will be no place for sewage to infiltrate, which is not easy to nourish bacteria. The impermeability is very good, and it is inevitable that oil stains will be sprinkled on the countertop when stir-frying, so you only need to wipe it with a rag to solve it, so you don't have to worry about penetration at all. The use time is very long-lasting, do not worry that the stainless steel countertop will become old after a long time, it is characterized by always looking very new, and it can also be reused.

Fifth, fireproof board countertop.

As the name suggests, it has very good fireproof performance, and the fireproof board on the market is mainly imported, and its performance is almost the same, with wear-resistant, high-temperature resistance, fireproof and other characteristics, and the appearance is very beautiful, and it is very affordable. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be eroded by water penetration, and poor maintenance will lead to deformation, expansion and other results.

6. Artificial stone countertop.

Artificial stone is a stone with a certain hardness and pattern made by combining some mineral materials with organic adhesives, and it is widely used. When using artificial stone countertops, you need to pay attention to some small matters: (1) Do not put high-temperature objects directly on the countertop, which will cause certain harm to the countertop, and a thermal insulation pad should be placed on its surface; (2) When cutting vegetables, put a cutting board on the table to prevent knife marks; (3) The countertop should be kept dry and avoid long-term immersion in water, otherwise it will cause degumming.

The use of marble material is the best. The waterproof property of marble material is also very good, very wear-resistant, very strong, not easy to break, and the cost performance is relatively high.

1. Natural stone countertops.

Natural stone countertops are collectively referred to as many kinds of stone materials, the more common ones being granite and marble.

These two are countertop materials that have a common advantage, that is, high hardness, good wear resistance, and scratch resistance. But they also have a common disadvantage, that is, there are seams on the surface of the two, which are easy to hide dirt and dirt; And because the hardness of these two is larger, when two stones need to be bonded, there can be no gaps, and these gaps will accumulate dirt in future use, resulting in an unattractive appearance of the countertop.

Second, artificial stone countertop.

Artificial stone countertops are now the most used countertops, the main reason is that there are many advantages, mainly the following four points:

1.Wear-resistant, acid-resistant, and high-temperature resistant, these three points just meet the requirements of the kitchen for the countertop, which is very suitable for daily use.

2.There are no pores on the surface of the countertop, and dirt such as oil and water stains will not penetrate into it, so that even after long-term use, it will not look dirty.

3.If the cabinet requires a long countertop, the engineered stone can be bonded seamlessly without any gaps.

4.If there are scratches on the surface, you can use gauze paper to moisten it so that it does not leave marks on the surface.

3. Stainless steel countertop.

The biggest advantage of stainless steel countertops is that they are easy to clean, which is very suitable for lazy people; But the disadvantage is that it cannot be used in the corner of the cabinet, and if you accidentally scratch the surface, it will not be repaired, so that the marks will remain on the countertop, affecting the appearance.

Fourth, the refractory countertop.

The advantage of the laminate countertop is that it is colorful, which can meet the sensory enjoyment of the decoration owner; And its wear-resistant and high-temperature resistance is relatively good. 1.If you use laminate to make corners, you need to use other processes to make up for the cracks in the middle.

2.The moisture resistance of the laminate countertop is not good, if there are water stains on the countertop for a long time, it will cause its deformation and affect the use.

5. 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.
