Diamond Countertop Cabinets

Diamond is a dense and non-porous composite material that is consistent on the outside and inside. Its quartz surface has excellent corrosion resistance to acid and alkali in the kitchen. Colored liquid substances such as soy sauce and vinegar used daily will not penetrate the interior of the countertop. The shiny and bright surface of the diamond is processed by the advanced Italian polishing process, which will not scratch or stain, and will not cause problems such as yellowing and discoloration. Daily cleaning only needs to be rinsed with water, even after long-term use. , and its surface is as bright as a new countertop, requiring no maintenance and upkeep.

Advantages: The new diamond countertop not only combines all the advantages of the previous artificial stone countertops, but also has brighter surface color, better finish, and almost zero cracking probability. Compared with artificial stone countertops, it has higher hardness, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, Environmentally friendly and non-toxic superior features.

The quartz content of the new diamond countertop is as high as 93%. Quartz crystal is a natural mineral whose hardness is second only to diamond in nature. Its surface hardness can be as high as 81 barcol, which is much larger than the sharp tools such as knives and shovels used in the kitchen, and will not be scratched. . The heat generated by gas stoves, oil pans, etc. will not cause any direct damage to the diamond surface. It has high temperature resistance characteristics that other countertops cannot match, so that it avoids dents and scorch spots caused by high temperature.

Disadvantages: high hardness, not easy to process, and will break when the temperature changes sharply.

Attention to the problem: The hardness of the diamond table is understandable, but in the environment where there is a significant temperature difference between the south and the north, indoor and outdoor, the diamond table will have the effect of thermal expansion and contraction. Although diamond is recognized as one of the most suitable materials for countertops, because of its different craftsmanship, consumers may wish to be more careful when purchasing cabinets, and be sure to ask carefully.

natural stone countertops

High-grade granite marble in natural stone is the traditional raw material for cabinet countertops, and black flowers and white flowers are more commonly used.

Advantages: The texture of natural stone is very beautiful, the texture is hard, the anti-scratch performance is very prominent, and the wear resistance is good; the cost is low, and the colors are different. A countertop material.

Disadvantages: The length of natural stone cannot be too long, and it is impossible to make a full-length overall countertop, which is not suitable for the modern trend of pursuing the overall countertop; the two pieces cannot be joined together, and the gap is easy to breed bacteria; Strong cabinet support, although it is more than hard, but not elastic enough, cracks will occur in case of heavy blows, and it is difficult to repair, some invisible natural cracks will change easily when the temperature is sharp.

Attention to the problem: Natural stone is made of tens of thousands of years of weathering. Some materials may be radioactive and emit toxic gas, which does not meet the requirements of environmental protection. If there is no special process treatment, it may cause harm to the human body. Better to do a radiation test.

Stainless steel countertops: durable and easy to clean. However, the single color of stainless steel countertops makes people feel unapproachable and warm, and lacks the warmth of the family. It is no longer popular under the popular home atmosphere that emphasizes individuality and advocates returning to nature.

Artificial stone countertops: The artificial stone countertops currently on the market are mainly made of unsaturated resin or acrylic resin, adding fillers, pigments, and pressing with a vacuum defoaming plane, and even some manufacturers are made of hand-paste resin and stone powder. Its main features are colorful and strong plasticity, but it has poor scratch resistance, insufficient hardness, no natural feeling, and is not ideal in terms of antibacterial and environmental protection.

Natural stone: Although natural stone has natural texture and is more beautiful, natural marble cannot meet the requirements of pollution resistance, environmental protection, toughness, high temperature resistance, etc. The main reason is that natural stone has pores. If a heavy-colored liquid such as soy sauce is dripped, it will easily penetrate into the texture and be difficult to clean. Moreover, natural marble is brittle and cannot be used to make countertops over 1 meter. It will also crack when the temperature changes sharply. , In addition, natural stone has strong radioactivity, if it exceeds the standard, it will cause harm to the human body.
