There are two main categories of kitchen cabinets nowadays, one is brick cabinets, and the other is customized kitchen cabinets. Today we learned about cabinet planing-the whole kitchen cabinet.
The whole kitchen cabinet is composed of two large pieces: floor cabinet and wall cabinet.
Floor cabinet: as the name implies, it is a cabinet placed on the ground.
Wall cabinet: The wall cabinet is composed of cabinet body, door panel and hardware. There are decorations when there is a style, and the attached whole cabinet also has its decorations. The most common ones are the top line, Roman pillars and hollow bowl racks.
Currently on the market, there are many materials used to make kitchen cabinet countertops. We classify these many materials into two categories: natural stone and non-natural stone.
I often hear people say that natural stone and artificial stone are the two main types of cabinet countertops, and neither is it. In fact, artificial stone belongs to one type of non-natural stone. Non-natural stone also includes quartz stone countertops and tempered glass countertops. , Pure acrylic (DuPont stone) countertops, Cyrel stone countertops and so on. Non-natural stone is a big family.
Next, let’s get acquainted with the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of stone used as kitchen cabinet countertops.
——————Natural stone countertops——————
Including granite and marble:
Features:
1. Natural stone has high hardness but poor flexibility. Therefore, natural stone is relatively easy to break.
2. Natural stone has natural pores. In other words, when time is up, it will be soaked in oil and cannot be wiped off.
3. The natural stone is contaminated by radioactivity.
—————— Non-natural stone countertops——————
Ordinary artificial stone countertops: Common artificial stone is composed of aluminum powder, resin, etc. This is enough for us to know a little bit.
[Advantages of artificial stone]

- Artificial stone is resistant to penetration and corrosion.
4. Artificial stone has no radiation [Disadvantages] The hardness is not large, and it is easy to scratch.
Quartz stone countertops: Quartz stone countertops are simply popular. 9 of the 10 cabinets are all quartz countertops. Very awesome.
[Features] 1. High hardness, not easy to break, not easy to scratch. In fact, the quartz stone is the most cost-effective countertop. Because it seems that there are all kinds of advantages. The color is also richer, and it is also corrosion-resistant, and the seams are there, but not particularly obvious. Quartz stone countertops are divided into thickness. 15mm; 18mm; 20mm both. The thickness is the thicker the better. The price is also the thicker the more expensive.
Tempered glass countertops:
The advantages of tempered glass countertops are luxury, luxury and look very high-end. But everyone knows the characteristics of tempered glass. If I cut vegetables in the center of the countertop, there is no problem, but if I accidentally hit the burst point, the countertop will burst. No one dare to say that my tempered glass will never break. There is also a situation. Sometimes the gas stove is broken and the fire runs around. If it is burned on the glass, it is easy to crack the glass.

The DuPont stone produced by DuPont is the most authoritative countertop for pure acrylic countertops. The characteristic of this kind of countertop is that it has high hardness and strong flexibility, and it can make a lot of shapes during the production process. All kinds of round edges can be done, so many high-end cabinets will use this kind of stone.
