HOW TO CHOOSE HIGH-QUALITY QUARTZ STONE SLABS AND COUNTERTOPS
Nowadays, the quality of quartz stone countertops sold on market are various, and the price difference is relatively large, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish between good and bad. Some quartz stone countertops are easy to crack, permeable, and not stain-resistant. After consumers use them for a period of time, the surface becomes dull, and they cannot be wiped off even if they are stained with dirt, which directly damages the vital interests of consumers. Faced with all kinds of quartz stone countertops on the market, how to choose a high-quality quartz stone countertop?
Benefits of High-Quality Quartz Stone Countertops
The quality of quartz stone countertops directly determines the quality of the overall cabinet. A good cabinet countertop not only needs to have external features such as beautiful appearance, smooth surface, anti-fouling and scratch resistance, but also needs to be environmentally friendly, antibacterial, high temperature resistant, and corrosion resistant, high hardness, long life and other inherent qualities.
The content of high-quality quartz stone resin is between 7-8%. The filler is selected natural quartz crystal minerals. The SiO2 content exceeds 99.9%. Moreover, Radiation of heavy metal impurities, color preparation using high-grade or imported pigments. Its performance is non-toxic and tasteless, not easy to break and deform, no bleeding, no yellowing, pure color, stable quality, uniform color, and fine material particles.
Inferior Quartz Stone Countertops Are Harmful
The resin content of low-grade quartz stone exceeds 12%. The production process is equivalent to that of ordinary artificial stone. The quality is unstable, the color is uneven, the surface is easy to scratch, break and deform, and even produce harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals.
Long-term volatilization of residual formaldehyde may cause cancer
Some unscrupulous merchants add formaldehyde-containing glue to act as a solvent in order to reduce costs. After processing into countertops, excess formaldehyde will still remain, and a strong formaldehyde smell will be continuously volatilized within 3 to 5 years. The indoor air is not circulated or the temperature is too high. In the environment, the volatilization of such toxic substances is accelerated, and long-term exposure is very likely to cause cancer.
Organic solvents and heavy metals harm the digestive system
Some unscrupulous merchants use inferior inorganic pigments containing heavy metals such as lead or cadmium in the production process, and directly add organic solvents. After these low-quality quartz stone plates enter the home, they will enter the digestive system through food as a carrier through the heavy metals and other harmful substances attached to the surface, directly endangering human health.

- SOUND: listen to the knocking sound of stone. Generally speaking, the stone with good quality, dense and uniform inside and no microscopic cracks will have a clear and pleasant knocking sound; on the contrary, if there are microscopic cracks or fine veins inside the stone or the contact between particles becomes loose due to weathering, the knocking sound will be clear and pleasant. His voice is hoarse.
- TEST: usually drop a small drop of ink on the back of the stone. If the ink disperses and leaches out quickly, it means that the internal particles of the stone are loose or there are microscopic cracks, and the quality of the stone is not good; , it means that the stone is dense and the texture is good.
