What causes the artificial stone countertops to break
Because do not care or use improper
The table must also be carefully maintained, the normal artificial stone countertops can withstand the temperature is 130 ℃, especially the local can not be heated, even if the high temperature performance is better quartz stone, if the instantaneous temperature is high, there will be burst, Or high temperature on the table directly bake, roast, burn; do not put the oven on the table directly on the table, you should use pad and other insulation items; should cut the dishes on the chopping food, do not use metal sharp (kitchen knife ) Directly on the table to describe, cut chop, so as to avoid surface damage and potential cracks.
1, artificial stone material is a very important reason. Is made of low quality artificial stone table is very easy to list.
2, the design reasons: the general side of the wall by 3 meters long sides on both sides need to stay 3mm gap, 5 meters long table need to stay about 5mm gap.
3, the basis of serious deformation may make the table cracking.
4, heat (such as red pot directly placed on the table) may cause the table cracking.
And so on.
Because the cabinet production is not flat
As the cabinet and artificial stone countertops shrinkage is not the same, so the two can not be bonded together. To make the table evenly, the cabinet must be level, in order to prevent the emergence of cracks. But now many non-brand cabinets are not standardized, refined production, between the cabinet and the cabinet are connected with wood screws, the workers according to experience manual operation, each time certainly not the same force, which will lead to the cabinet is not Will level, in the rugged cabinet and then put on the table, a long time, it is prone to cracks.
Because the artificial stone to add a lot of calcium powder
As artificial stone can be any shape, and beautiful color, has become the mainstream of the market, but because the composition of the inside is not the same, even the difference is relatively large, the quality is uneven.
In general, the main components of artificial stone colored agents, stabilizers, resins, the most important but also to distinguish between aluminum and calcium powder, aluminum is more environmentally friendly, chemical composition is aluminum hydroxide, it is widely used in stomach medicine, toothpaste, Molecular structure is compact, the stability is better; and the chemical composition of calcium powder is calcium carbonate, in fact, is the stone powder, relatively rough, anti-permeability, stability are relatively poor. The price difference between the two kinds of powder is very large, 1 ton of aluminum powder price of 30,000, and the price of calcium powder is only one-tenth of the aluminum or even lower. Therefore, the most critical issue of countertop cracks is the artificial stone which is added calcium powder, rather than aluminum powder.
