There are also many kinds and series of quartz stone. Today, I would like to share with you three classifications of quartz stone: coarse grain plate, fine grain plate and powder plate.
1. One of the cheapest is coarse particle board, which has few processing steps and mature technology. The disadvantage is that there are so many patterns, which is too common! Fine particle board is to grind the quartz sand a little bit more finely. It looks like the texture is a little more delicate. It's just this kind of board. It looks small and the price is moderate~
2. Powder plate, the powder plate is the aristocrat of quartz stone. It can be divided into bright surface and dermatoglyphic surface, that is, matt surface. The bright surface is the traditional water grinding polishing process commonly used for other quartz stones. After multiple 2000 mesh water grinding heads are grinded under high pressure and high speed, the effect is as bright as a mirror. For dermatoglyphic surface, the process is more complex and more expensive.
The manufacturing process of the powder plate itself is more complicated than that of the coarse and fine particle plate. It is almost equivalent to grinding the quartz sand into powder and then refining and pressing, and grinding into powder requires removing iron filings, because the iron filings of the hammer itself will inevitably be mixed with the quartz powder in the process of grinding, and then the powder plate will be processed with patterns, that is, the general pattern pattern will be paved manually in advance and then pressed.
3. But! Do you think it is the king of quartz stone after so many processes? did not! On the contrary, because the particles of the powder plate are too fine, the wear resistance is worse than that of the coarse particle plate. In summary, the cheapest and most resistant is the coarse particle plate, the most cost-effective is the fine particle plate, and the most expensive is the powder plate, but the wear resistance is not as good as the other two.
Speaking of granite, it is a fake stone! The difference between granite and quartz is really great! The granite is made of crushed marble, stone powder and other shell powder. The content of calcium powder is high, and the content of quartz sand is low, so the hardness is very poor. Secondly, the water permeability is strong, and it is difficult to wipe off soy sauce and other things. Nowadays, granite is rarely used in engineering, and it is not difficult to distinguish this. First of all, the working stone is lighter than the quartz stone from the appearance Secondly, the hillock is not scratch resistant. If you scratch it with a sharp object, you will directly spend it; Finally, the granite has a strong reaction with acetic acid because of the high content of calcium powder. Pour some white vinegar and you can see bubbles all the time.
Quartz stone countertop is going to talk about the cushion strips and plates under the countertop! If you look at the decoration, you will definitely see that there is this or no such thing under our quartz stone counter!
Some people say that there is no such thing under the countertop in their home. In fact, the use of such backing plates or strips depends on the cabinet itself. Like traditional wooden cabinets, they will sink. Therefore, a backing plate needs to be installed to prevent the deformation of the countertop caused by the sink of the cabinet. If the countertop is deformed, it will crack. Like stainless steel cabinets, you can directly go up without backing strips or pads. Don't think that if the base plate is added to the table top, it will not be damaged for a lifetime. The base plate will still play an auxiliary role in protecting the table top. Most of the table top damage is more the result of poor quality, damp deformation, or non-standard installation.
Finally, I wish everyone can choose the stone suitable for their home decoration. Xiamen smarterStone welcomes your choice！
