1, natural stone marble?
Advantages: rich colors, soft texture, natural and diverse textures, easy to cut or shape; ?
Disadvantages: Because it is naturally formed, tiny loose cracks are easy to be broken, and because stone is a porous material structure, it is difficult to clean and easy to be broken if sewage permeates during production, transportation or construction. In daily cleaning, it is inevitable that some residues and dirt will be filled into the gaps with the wiping of the rag, which will become a hotbed of bacteria. In the long process of natural stone formation, due to the existence of heavy metals, it will be more or less radioactive and may be harmful to human health.
? 2. granite?
Advantages: Granite has high density, high hardness and wear resistance, and it is also one of the materials often used in home decoration. Compared with natural marble, granite has better antibacterial regeneration ability among the materials that can be used for kitchen countertops. ?
Disadvantages: As the material of cabinet countertops, 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 evil and shelter evil. ?
3. artificial stone?
Advantages: The artificial stone is rich in lines and colors, completely comparable to stone, and it is non-toxic and non-radioactive, easy to clean, and can really realize seamless splicing. Belonging to an economical and environment-friendly sanitary material. ?
Disadvantages: Artificial stone belongs to the processing industry, and the technical requirements are not high. The inferior products produced by many small enterprises flood the market, which harms the interests of consumers. Some middle and low-grade products still have problems such as fading, poor aging resistance and oil pollution. ?
4. Fireproof board?
Advantages: the medium density fiberboard is used as the base material, and the surface is covered with fire-proof board, which has better impact resistance, wear resistance and scratch resistance. ?
Disadvantages: Most of the materials used to manufacture fire-proof board countertops in China are low-cost density boards, which cannot provide effective protection in terms of performance and environmental protection. Due to the length limitation of fire-proof board and natural stone, it is impossible to realize the perfect seamless splicing of the whole. These gaps are naturally "hotbeds" of bacterial pollution. ?
5. Stainless steel?
Advantages: the progress of processing technology has given this material a new aesthetic feeling, such as surface drawing and embossing treatment, and its appearance is fashionable and avant-garde, which is favored by young urban consumers. Moreover, due to the characteristics of stainless steel, the surface is very easy to clean.
Disadvantages: people often use steel balls and other clean sanitation, and other metal sharp tools or ceramic utensils will also add many scars to their fashionable appearance, which cannot be repaired, so stainless steel countertops will become more and more flowery. Therefore, families who use this stainless steel countertop must pay special attention to wiping its surface at ordinary times.
