Cabinet quartz stone countertop installation is the last step in this area of the cabinet, not because in the end but careless, but as always careful, after all, if the installation does not pay attention to or construction steps and other problems, it is easy to encounter problems in the later use, more exaggerated is that some owners have reflected, because the installation of their own no one, Unable to supervise the construction personnel, and even the cabinet has not been installed on the damage, although the other party lost money, but it is really delayed the normal use of the owner.
How about quartz countertop
Quartz stone countertop, is a synthesis of small quartz new technology artificial stone, its colors are diverse, with the texture and luster of natural stone. Quartz stone is a kind of non-radioactive pollution, reusable environmental protection, green new building interior decoration materials, so widely used in kitchen countertops, dishtops, kitchen and bathroom walls, tables, coffee tables, windowsills, door covers and other fields.
The glossy and bright surface of quartz stone is after more than 30 complex polishing process, even after a long time of use, the surface is as bright as the newly installed table. The real quartz stone countertop has high hardness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics, even if the use of knife and shovel and other sharp tools, the surface will not be scratched. It also has excellent corrosion resistance to the acid and alkali of the kitchen, and it also has high temperature resistance unparalleled by other artificial stone countertops.
How to distinguish between good and bad quartz countertops
First, the printing code behind the plate: Each artificial stone manufacturers have their own bar code, each artificial stone plate behind the computer code, is the factory by the computer automatic printing now has not heard which manufacturers dare to privately spray on the number of other manufacturers when the color palette (color is not illegal spray other people’s trademarks, etc., that is illegal), so as a good countertop spray code is the most direct method.
Second, dilute hydrochloric acid test method: This method is suitable for distinguishing whether the artificial stone contains calcium powder, because the calcium powder artificial stone cost is very low, the selling price is not low, many profiteers are very willing to use calcium powder table to act as pure aluminum powder or even acrylic table. Chemically, calcium powder (that is, the chemical composition of lime powder is calcium carbonate) will produce bubbles when it meets acidic substances, so as long as the acidic liquid is poured on the table to try to know that your home is not inferior artificial stone, dilute hydrochloric acid poured on the top of the reaction does not contain calcium powder, dilute hydrochloric acid poured on immediately produce a large number of bubbles that contain calcium powder. Or household toilet cleaner can also be tried without affecting the performance of the table.
Third, soy sauce test method: Calcium powder artificial stone plate due to material reasons, the plate can not be completely dense without holes, so when the soy sauce is poured on the above for a long time, it will leave a deep impression inside the plate, how sassafras can not be sassafras off, acrylic artificial stone because the plate does not contain stone powder, the overall dense and non-porous, soy sauce can not penetrate, even if poured on the above for more than 24 hours or longer, Rinse the surface with clean water and there is no trace.
The correct installation method of quartz stone countertop
1, before installation, you need to check the flatness of the on-site cabinet and the floor cabinet, check whether the required installation table and the size of the site are without error, if there is an error, you need to process again, trim or adjust the cabinet.
2, in the installation of the countertop, you need to retain the distance between the countertop and the wall, the general gap in 3-5mm, the main purpose of leaving this gap is to prevent the expansion of the countertop and the cabinet in the future, after the installation is completed, you need to glue in the gap.
3, if you need to install sinks and other devices, first of all should be the quartz stone countertop and the water on the table for some local trimming, and knock, check whether suspended, for some small suspended, we can add some glass glue on the back of the stone to fill, for some serious unsmoothness, you need to stop construction, Adjust the cabinet to a flat state.
4, for some L-shaped countertops or some ultra-long countertops, some strong glass clips can be used to clamp the countertop extrusion gap when necessary, and the gap must be cleaned up.
5, in the cabinet of the bottom of the water bar evenly apply some color with the glue, for the adhesion of the water bar, do not use the marble glue and other connecting colloid, in order to prevent after bonding, not to glue too tight and cause the cracking or fracture of the countertop. Quartz stone cabinet countertops should always be clean after use, first of all. Try to prevent wetting, including the door panel should also be often dried, can not be temporarily immersed in water, to prevent deformation and cracking. China’s quartz stone manufacturers have a production history of more than ten years, quality and foreign imported quartz stone comparable to some manufacturers have exceeded foreign quality, quartz stone prices can also be accepted by the public.
