1. The material of the kitchen cabinet
The color, texture and design of the kitchen cabinet plate will always directly affect the overall visual effect of the kitchen cabinet, so we must be careful when choosing. Now the mainstream materials are fireproof board, paint board, solid wood board, blister board, metal board.
Fireproof board: Fireproof board is more wear-resistant, high temperature resistant, anti-penetration, easy to clean, moisture-proof, and most importantly, it is cheap. It is that compared to others, the three-dimensional feeling of metal and concave and convex cannot be made.
Painted board: It looks beautiful, various, and has good waterproof performance, strong anti-fouling ability, and easy to clean. It is very afraid of scratches and it is difficult to repair.
Solid wood board: Solid wood board has the most pits, and usually the price is the highest, but pure solid wood itself is relatively easy to be deformed by moisture, so families who choose solid wood boards generally choose door panels, and choose other materials for the cabinet. The wood texture is very good, very beautiful.
Blister board: The wood grain is realistic, the simple version of solid wood, the color is very rich, and it is not easy to crack and deform. Scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, fade-resistant, and affordable.
Metal plate: It has good wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, long life, and is also a good choice.
2. The material of the countertop
At present, there are many materials used to make kitchen countertops on the market, which are divided into two categories: natural stone and non-natural stone. Natural stone is divided into granite, marble; non-natural stone is more, the mainstream are ordinary artificial stone countertops, quartz stone countertops, stainless steel countertops, tempered glass countertops, etc.
Marble and granite: Natural only have three characteristics: good-looking, squeamish, and expensive! Natural stone will be soaked in oil for a long time and cannot be wiped off, and natural stone is easier to break.
Artificial stone countertops: The biggest advantage is that it is cheap, easy to clean, and the texture of the low-end version of natural stone. The most amazing thing is that the artificial stone countertops can be seamlessly connected, which is better than other stones. But after a long time, it will have a low-grade plastic feeling, and it will easily turn yellow.
Quartz countertops: Quartz countertops are made of quartz particles and broken glass. They are pressure-resistant, high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, impermeable, and durable. There will still be gaps. Note that the qualified quartz content is at least 92%. The general household standard is 15mm thick, if you prefer thicker (18mm, 20mm), the price will also increase with the thickness.
3. The material of the hardware
The selection of hardware hinges must be carefully selected. The cabinet door is kept closed and closed every day by the hardware, so it is right to choose the one with better quality in the selection of hardware.
