Common countertop materials include quartz stone, marble, stainless steel, and composite acrylic.
Quartz stone: The quartz content is more than 90%, which is the second hardest mineral in nature after diamonds, so it is not easy to be scratched even when cutting vegetables on the countertop.
Quartz stone is a kind of artificial stone, so there are many patterns to choose from and the price is cheap. It is not easy to be stained, even if the colored liquid lasts for a long time, as for the quartz stone, it can be cleaned with water or detergent. Quartz stone also has the characteristics of high temperature resistance
Marble: Marble is a natural stone, expensive, and easy to penetrate as a cabinet countertop. It is easy to be stained when it encounters colored liquids such as soy sauce and mango juice. Difficult to clean and easily scratched.
Stainless steel: Scratches will inevitably occur, and acid will accelerate the oxidation of stainless steel and rust. Some people think that stainless steel countertops look like the back kitchen of a restaurant, and the color looks cold. Some people also think it is very fashionable and easy to take care of.
Composite acrylic is easily deformed by heat, and it is also easy to turn yellow.
Density board: IKEA has a lot of wood-grain density board countertops. The advantage is that the texture is realistic and beautiful, but the disadvantage is that it is not moisture-proof, high-temperature resistant, and low-hardness. The precautions given by the officials make it even more delicate. Therefore, this material is only suitable for small groups of people who do not cook at home or have a light and minimal diet.
Therefore, for most families, from the perspective of aesthetics and practicality, the best choice for countertops is: quartz stone
