Kitchen countertop, how to choose the material? Five designs, which one is better?

Table board is an open kitchen inside the "protagonist" and "value bearer", it increases the operating space of the kitchen, sharing the role of the main kitchen table, convenient for us to cook every day; at the same time, the table board can also increase the storage space of the kitchen, and even as a dining table, work area to use, the practicality is very high.

However, despite the fact that more and more families are choosing to install a countertop, many people don't know how to use it or how to make it look better and work better. Today, we focus on these questions.

What are the countertop materials?

Create a very good-looking and good use of the table, in addition to looking at the design of the table plate for modeling and functionality, in the end, the reason in the end, or we have to look at the material of the table plate, the material of the table plate, a direct impact on the decision of the table plate of the value and practicality.

1. Marble table

Marble island is a kind of middle island composed of natural marble. Marble is a natural stone mined by nature. It has the advantages of natural stone texture, beautiful atmosphere, thick texture, high hardness, wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and thus has the advantages of waterproof and moisture-proof, fire-resistant and heat-resistant, anticorrosive and mildew-resistant.

2. Quartz stone table

Quartz stone is a kind of artificial stone. The main raw material is should be crystal and resin. Good quality quartz stone has a similar texture to natural stone, high value. In addition, quartz stone has excellent properties, such as high hardness, abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, excellent resistance to penetration, water resistance and stain resistance, and easy to clean and care. It is also suitable for use as an island material.

3. Stainless steel table

Stainless steel, the biggest advantage is fire-resistant and high temperature, waterproof and moisture-proof, mold and mildew seepage, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, oil resistance, easy to clean, easy to concave shape, low price. Due to the use of island materials, stainless steel can be said to be "easy to use, not expensive", very cost-effective.

4. Solid wood table

The most prominent advantage of wood countertops is beautiful and natural, the value is very high, touch a warm texture, the wood itself also has a certain degree of wear resistance. After surface treatment, wood countertops can achieve a certain waterproof, moisture, dirt and easy to clean ability.

5. Rock Slab Countertop

Rock plate, as a new type of material, raw materials to stone powder, silica and clay resources are mainly, with a very need to rich color and texture, face value is also very high. In addition to this, the hardness of the rock slab is extremely demanding, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, deformation-resistant as well as impact-resistant, and in terms of characteristics, the rock slab is fireproof research and heat-resistant, waterproof to carry out moisture resistance, corrosion and mildew resistance, stain-resistant and easy to clean.

Which material is better?

From the above list of analysis, it seems that every material is suitable for the table, but the fact that we can really be so? Not also! Each material is not a perfect.

Marble as a natural stone, mining and processing is difficult and expensive. And it is not very dense, there are many voids inside. As a result, during daily use, marble island table is prone to oozing dirt and color. After a long time, it needs regular maintenance, otherwise it will affect the beauty.

The disadvantage of quartz stone is that it has poor heat resistance and weak impact resistance, so if it impacts a hard object, it will be in danger of breaking. In addition, the quartz stone on the market, the quality varies, if we buy a bad quality, just like the texture of plastic, the performance is also poor.

Stainless steel is weak in scratch, impact and deformation resistance, so the surface is easy to scratch, and if it is hit by a hard object, it will be dented or deformed. In addition, stainless steel gives the impression of a lack of aesthetics. Kitchens that look like restaurants are difficult to match with a good-looking decor.

Solid wood island table is more reserved, less durable, in wear and scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, water and moisture resistance, stain resistance and easy to clean and other performance on a always demanding, the use of network life is not long, with a long time we still need to manage the maintenance as well as maintenance. Therefore, solid wood island table often choose more suitable for less kitchen family can use.

This island made of rock slabs excels in every aspect. In theory, slate is the most suitable material for a kitchen island. However, the rock slabs themselves are quite expensive and not all households can afford them. On the other hand, there are many rock products available on the market, and it is not easy to choose a rock slab of reliable quality (poor quality slabs are in danger of breaking).
