Advantages and disadvantages of artificial stone countertops
Advantages of artificial stone countertops
1. Good machinability: In terms of aesthetics, artificial stone is irreplaceable for forming kitchen and bathroom countertops. The machinability that can be bonded with the same quality and color, and is almost seamless, is beyond the reach of materials such as natural marble and quartz stone.
2. The practicability of impermeability: Artificial stone, also known as polymer material, has the performance of cabinet corrosion and impermeability. It is more suitable for cabinet countertops, and it is not unreasonable to be favored. (Precisely a defect of natural marble).
3. No radiation concerns: Compared with natural marble and artificial stone, there is no radiation and no adverse effects on the human body.
4. Bright and rich colors: rich and changeable colors, with a large choice, which is conducive to the combination and matching of designers to meet individual needs.
Disadvantages of engineered stone countertops
No scratch resistance: Artificial stone of any material, with a Barcol hardness between 58 and 62, cannot withstand the “scratch” of sharp objects such as metal. (It can be remedied by re-grinding and refurbishing).

How to choose artificial stone countertops
Look at the appearance: first check whether the color of the particles on the surface is uniform. If you observe the particles to see if you can vaguely see the particles of the next layer, the clearer the better. Secondly, look at the side: whether there are bubbles on the side of the kanban, if there are, it indicates that the quality ratio is low, and a good board should have no bubbles. The so-called solid surface material means that there are no tiny bubbles in the product, the surface and the inside are solid materials with high density, and have excellent physical and chemical properties. If the purpose of eliminating the bubbles inside the product cannot be achieved during production, this product cannot be called As a solid surface material, the quality is naturally out of the question.
Look at the thickness: the standard thickness of artificial stone should be 12.7mm, and the inferior quality can’t even reach 10mm (but some brands of artificial stone are not this standard).
Look at the cutting piece: the small thin piece (inner thickness of 2 mm) cut by the worker during on-site installation to see if it is elastic. The better the elasticity and toughness, the better the quality and the higher the price. (The composition of artificial stone contains resin, the content of resin directly affects its cost and price, and it will smell plastic when cutting)
