Quartz stone as a favored material, its purchase has a lot of secrets.There are a lot of newbies who don't know how to pick the right quartz countertops for the kitchen.Today, Yeyang Stone will explain countertops quartz stone tips in detail, so that you can easily avoid the traps to choose your preferred quartz countertops.
A white quartz stone would be a better choice
White quartz stone has a unique charm in the kitchen. Visually, white color gives a clean and bright feeling and can make the whole kitchen space look more spacious and neat. It is like a beam of light in the kitchen, reflecting light well and keeping the kitchen bright even in low light conditions. Moreover, white color goes perfectly with all kinds of kitchen styles, whether it's minimalist modern, rustic or Scandinavian, white quartz stone is an excellent choice.
Choose monochrome small grain quartz stone

The single-color, small-grained quartz stone has a clean, bold aesthetic. This design has an even distribution of grains from a professional point of view, resulting in a finer texture of the countertop. During processing and use, the small-grained quartz stone is more stable and less prone to cracks or localized wear. Moreover, the monochromatic design makes the overall style of the kitchen more uniform and coordinated, and does not produce a visual sense of clutter.
Although the quartz stone with large particles of mixed colors looks personalized, it is more problematic in actual use. The gaps between the large particles are large, easy to hide dirt, and cleaning is more difficult. Moreover, due to the uneven size and color of the particles, in the cutting and installation process, it is more likely to appear chipping, falling corners and other problems, affecting the beauty and service life of the countertops.
Select quartz with thickness of 2.0 cm
The thickness of your countertop has a key impact on its sturdiness and durability. Choosing a 2.0cm thick quartz stone countertop means that it has a stronger carrying capacity. In daily use, we often place various heavy objects on the countertop, such as pots and pans, electrical appliances, etc. A countertop with a thickness of 2.0cm can better withstand these weights and reduce the risk of deformation and breakage.
Thickness of less than 1.5 cm quartz stone countertops are relatively thin, easy to bend, rupture and other problems under heavy pressure. Especially near the stove, due to uneven heat, thinner countertops are more likely to be damaged, affecting the normal use of the entire kitchen.
Choose real quartz stone

Real quartz stone is synthesized by high purity quartz sand and resin and other materials through high temperature and high pressure. It has a high quartz content and a high hardness of about 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamonds. This makes the real quartz stone countertops have excellent abrasion resistance and scratch resistance, in the daily chopping, placing tableware and other operations, can keep the countertops smooth and flat, will not be easy to appear scratches.
Fake quartz stone is often a mixture of some inferior materials, its performance is far inferior to the real quartz stone. May be used for a period of time, there will be surface wear, fading and other problems, seriously affecting the beauty and service life of the countertops. Identify the real quartz stone can be from the weight, hardness, luster and other aspects of the start, such as the real quartz stone is heavier, with a key and other hard objects scratch the surface will not leave obvious traces, and the luster is natural and soft. More identification details please see this article.
Choose quartz stone with a quartz content of 93% or more, not those with low quartzite content
Yeyang quartz(≥93% quartz content)
Stone performance is at its best when the quartzite content is above 93%. The high content of quartzite gives the countertops excellent physical properties such as hardness, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. This high purity of quartz stone countertops can better cope with various harsh environments in the kitchen, such as the erosion of acids and alkalis, and baking at high temperatures.
If the quartzite content is low, then the proportion of other ingredients such as resin will be relatively increased. This will lead to a decline in the hardness of the countertop, easy to be scratched, and in long-term contact with high-temperature objects, it is more likely to appear deformation, discoloration and other problems, greatly shortening the service life of the countertop.
