In the kitchen, the countertop is probably one of the most frequently used places in kitchen furniture. Therefore, many people choose the cabinet countertops with special care. With the pursuit of healthy and environmentally friendly life, the problem of not being environmentally friendly is often taken into consideration when purchasing kitchen countertops. So, which material is more environmentally friendly? Today, Xiaobian will take everyone to see the environmental protection index of the countertop materials of several large cabinets! I hope I can give you some reference in choosing materials.
Artificial stone of cabinet countertop material
Artificial stone countertops: divided into resin board, composite acrylic board, pure acrylic board. Resin board refers to the sheet containing no acrylic component, composite acrylic refers to the sheet with acrylic content of 10% to 30%, and pure acrylic refers to sheet with acrylic component of more than 30%. The higher the acrylic component, the more gentle the hand feels, close to the plastic. On the contrary, the feeling of the hand tends to be cold and close to the stone.
Artificial stone is the market-recognized cabinet panel material that is most suitable for modern kitchens. Compared with other materials, the artificial stone is beautiful and practical. It has the most abundant color and can be formed as a whole. It can be seamlessly bonded at any length, and there is no trace at the joint. . At the same time wear-resistant; acid resistance; high temperature; impact! Compression! Anti-folding! Anti-penetration and other functions are also very strong. With unique bonding and grinding technology, the artificial stone countertops can be seamlessly spliced, with no pores on the surface, and no dirt or bacteria. The lines and colors of artificial stone are quite comparable to stone, but it is not radiant and easier to clean. It is an ideal substitute for natural marble.
Disadvantages: Naturalness is obviously insufficient, the texture is relatively fake, the price is high, and the anti-scalding ability is not strong. If the object is too hot, it will fade, the hardness is not enough to be scratched, and some low-priced inferior tabletops on the market are prone to oil infiltration.
Suitable for the crowd: users who focus on environmental protection.
Environmental protection index ★★★★★
Cabinet countertop material stainless steel
Stainless steel countertops: high hardness, high temperature resistance, long service life, very beautiful metallic color, excellent visual effect with black door panels. According to different surface treatment processes, it can be divided into three types: embossing, drawing and mirroring. Stainless steel is the traditional raw material for home kitchen appliances. Stainless steel is the best endorsement for tableware. Stainless steel countertops are generally made of a thin stainless steel plate on the surface of the high-density fireproof board. The texture is firm, easy to clean, and has a three-dimensional effect. At the same time, stainless steel has the best antibacterial performance among all materials. At the same time, in the strong impact of the new concept of modern European cabinets in recent years, stainless steel countertops have also been improved in accordance with the development trend of the combination of beautiful and practical cabinets. For consumers who prefer to use it, or consumers who prefer metal textures, it is not a bad idea to buy stainless steel countertops.
Disadvantages: The visual sense is hard, giving people a cold feeling. There is also a lack of reasonable and effective treatment methods at the corners of the countertops and the joints. Once the table is scratched by a sharp weapon, it will leave irreparable traces. It is easy to hide dirty things in these fine scratches, and you must pay special attention to the surface of the wipe. At present, most of the domestic stainless steel countertops are prone to oxidation, which is quite different from the imported similar products. The price of imported products is higher.
Suitable for the crowd: the home improvement style is biased towards the industrialized and innocent users who clean the kitchen.

Countertop surface material quartz stone
At present, the most popular and popular countertop in foreign countries is quartz stone, which looks beautiful and has good gloss.

Disadvantages: the color can be selected in general, the disadvantage is that the joint has seams, the price is high
Environmental Index ★★★★
Cabinet countertop material granite
The high density weakens the hidden worry of hiding dirt. As a traditional countertop material, granite has a high density, high hardness and a very wear-resistant surface, which reduces the possibility of dirt and dirt to a certain extent. In addition, tests have shown that granite is more resistant to bacterial regeneration in all materials that can be used in kitchen countertops.
Disadvantages: The length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall table, there will be seams, and these seams are also easy to hide dirt.
If you really like natural materials, granite with strong antibacterial ability is an ideal choice, but you should pay special attention to the seam level of construction workers.

Cabinet countertop material wood
In order to be close to nature, the kitchen often uses the color of the logs to create a rustic style. In order to get in touch with nature, pure wood has also been used as a countertop, which has been processed into beautiful and different shapes, like oak. Some of the harder woods such as eucalyptus are the top choices of all countertops. This kind of pure wood countertop is currently popular in Europe and America, but it is still rare in China.

Fireproof board for cabinet countertop material
Fireproof countertops are also the mainstream in the current cabinet market. Their rich color and light body can be combined with different styles of cabinets to create a modern kitchen. The fireproof board has the characteristics of fireproof; moisture proof; chemical corrosion resistance; abrasion resistance;
Disadvantages: mostly low-cost MDF. Most of the materials used in the manufacture of fireproof panels in China are low-cost MDF, which cannot provide effective guarantees in terms of performance and environmental protection. On the other hand, seamless stitching is difficult
There is a limitation on the length of the fireproof board. The joint of the corner table splicing lacks effective treatment means, and the perfect seamless splicing cannot be realized. These gaps are naturally a "hotbed" of bacterial dirt. Therefore, it is more suitable for a one-line design. Therefore, such a countertop is easily impregnated with water, and when it is poorly processed or used improperly, it may cause degumming, deformation, and expansion of the substrate.
Suitable for the crowd: the pursuit of sleek and simple users.
Environmental Index ★★
Countertop surface tile countertop
It is easy to break when it is too cold. Tiles used for countertops have the same physical properties as wall tiles. Although they are extremely durable, they are easily broken under the impact of heavy objects, and objects that are too hot or too cold will be damaged if they are placed on them for a long time. If it is a mosaic tile, there will be a gap. Even if it is a seamless tile, it will leave a much larger gap between the brick and the brick than other materials. It is very inconvenient to clean, the health hazard is self-evident, and the sealant is easy to blacken, the quality is Mildew may also occur.

The most commonly used concentration price is only a few hundred yuan a meter, which is an economic one. Kind of countertop material.
Disadvantages: First, there is a limitation of length. Even if the two pieces are spliced, they cannot be integrated. Secondly, they are prone to cracking. Natural marble has various beautiful textures. Although the texture is hard, the elasticity is insufficient, if there is a heavy blow or A sharp change in temperature can cause cracks to be difficult to repair. Third, the crack is difficult to wipe. In daily cleaning, it is inevitable that some residue will be permanently filled into the crack with the wipe of the rag, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria.
