What kind of countertops are more environmentally friendly?

The most closely related to the food in our cabinet construction is the countertop. The durability and antibacterial properties of the countertops directly affect our daily kitchen life, and more and more consumers are paying attention to the environmental and hygiene issues of the countertops. So, what kind of countertops are more environmentally friendly? Let us compare them carefully.

Natural marble natural texture but crack defects

Prone to cracking Natural marble has a variety of beautiful textures, but its natural micro-cracks will rupture after a long time of use.

It is difficult to wipe the crack in daily cleaning. It is inevitable that some residue will be permanently filled into the crack with the wipe of the rag, which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.

Non-negligible radiation Natural stone will have more or less radiation, which may cause harm to human health.

Granite natural material with good antibacterial properties

The density is greatly weakened as a hidden countertop material. As a traditional cabinet countertop material, granite has a high density, high hardness and a very wear-resistant surface, which reduces the possibility of hiding dirt to a certain extent.

Better antibacterial performance tests have shown that granite is more resistant to bacterial regeneration in all materials that can be used in kitchen countertops.

The limitation of natural materials The length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall table, there will be seams, and these seams are also easy to hide dirt.

If you really like natural materials, granite with strong antibacterial ability is an ideal choice, but you should pay special attention to the seam level of construction workers.

Stainless steel has best antibacterial properties

Good antibacterial performance tests have shown that stainless steel has the highest resistance to bacterial regeneration in all materials currently available for kitchen countertops.

The appearance of the stainless steel table top that is easily injured is very avant-garde, and the sparkling crystal is not dirty. However, once the table is scratched by the sharp weapon, it will leave traces of unrecoverable. It is easy to hide the dirty things in these fine scratches. It is necessary to pay special attention to the surface of the wipe.

The joint of the fireproof section is not well bridged

Most of them are low-priced MDF. Most of the materials used in the manufacture of fireproof panels in China are low-priced MDF, which cannot provide effective guarantees in terms of performance and environmental protection.

Seamless splicing is difficult. Fire slabs have the same length limitations as natural stone. It is difficult to join the section. No matter whether it is glued with silicone or metal strip, it is impossible to achieve perfect seamless splicing. These gaps are naturally a "hotbed" of bacterial dirt.

Environmental Index ★★

Tiles are not easy to clean

Overheating and overheating are easy to break. The tiles used for the countertops have the same physical properties as the wall tiles. Although they are very durable, they are easily broken under the impact of heavy objects, and the objects that are overheated or too cold will be placed on them for a long time. damage.

Splicing tiles will definitely have gaps. Even if it is a seamless tile, it will leave a much larger gap between bricks and bricks than other materials. It is very inconvenient to clean, the hidden dangers are self-evident, and the caulking agent is easy. Blackening, mildew may also occur in quality.

Environmental Index ★★

Artificial stone economical countertop

Stone-like but non-radiative artificial stone has a rich texture and color, which is comparable to stone, but it is not radiant and easier to clean. It is an ideal substitute for natural marble.

The true seamless splicing utilizes unique bonding and grinding technology, and the artificial stone countertops can be seamlessly spliced, and dirt and bacteria can no longer be accommodated.
