Quartz stone may replace artificial stone as mainstream cabinets

The shortcomings of artificial stone determine that artificial stone cannot go further. Science is progressing, society is developing, and new materials are constantly appearing. There will be a new material to replace artificial stone (Why do all kitchen countertops use quartz stone). The emergence of quartz stone has brought challenges to the mainstream position of artificial stone countertops in the market! Take a look at the characteristics of quartz stone!

1. Quartz stone is extremely hard, highly scratch-resistant and wear-resistant; iron tools such as shovel blades, wallpaper knives, steel wire balls cannot scratch it.

2. Extremely high temperature resistance and fire resistance: natural quartz crystal is a typical refractory material, its melting point is as high as 1300 degrees, and the quartz stone made of 93% natural quartz is completely flame retardant and will not burn due to high temperature contact. It is also artificial Stone and other countertops have incomparable high temperature resistance characteristics, and hot pot will not affect it.

3. Quartz stone has better stability: strong acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance: the product can resist the corrosion of concentrated sulfuric acid and strong alkali, not to mention the kitchen environment!

4. Quartz stone processing dust is small, and dust-free installation can basically be realized: Quartz stone processing adapts to water sawing and water milling, which greatly reduces dust; during the installation process, there is no need for large-area polishing and polishing, and accurate measurement, except for splicing on site. The procedures are completed in the factory, which greatly reduces the dust on the installation site and basically realizes the dust-free installation.

In addition to the above notable features, quartz stone has the same environmental protection performance as artificial stone, but it is not without shortcomings. At present, quartz stone has not been able to achieve perfect splicing like artificial stone. Although it can be seamlessly spliced, it still can There are traces of splicing. But as technology advances, it will be perfect.

Quartz stone completely replaces the market position of artificial stone as a mainstream countertop product, and there is still some way to go. (Quartz stone sheet forming process)

1. Price has become the main reason for restricting quartz stone: Compared with artificial stone, the price of quartz stone is still much higher. Most consumers cannot accept this relatively high-priced product, but as the market continues to expand , Economies of scale will make costs lower. In addition, intensified competition will also force manufacturers to reduce prices. Especially with the localization of quartz and the increase in manufacturers, we can see the price drop and the hope of rapid market penetration.

2. The maturity of the processing technology and the speed of popularization have also become the factors that limit the development of quartz stone: the processing of quartz stone requires relatively high technology, and there are not too many workers who master the processing technology, which also limits the development of quartz stone.

There is no doubt that over time, quartz stone will gradually occupy more market shares and gradually become the mainstream of countertops. Let us wait and see! (Quartz stone plate, a brand new decorative material )
