Cabinet quartz stone countertops material advantages and disadvantages
Advantages: quartz stone table with high hardness, hardness in nature after the diamond; quartz stone high temperature, melting point above 1300 °, high purity quartz stone (93%) is completely flame retardant; quartz is in the vacuum conditions Under the surface of the manufacture of a dense, non-porous composite material, so its surface of the kitchen acid and alkali have excellent resistance to corrosion; in addition to the above said, quartz stone also impact resistance, easy to clean, etc., and in this Focus on the era of green home, quartz stone countertops does not contain radioactive elements that are harmful to the human body.
