Quartz stone has now become the preferred surface material for cabinet countertops, because quartz stone not only has the plasticity, non-toxic, non-radiation, and anti-penetration of artificial stone, but also has the natural texture and hardness of natural stone. It is a new type of architectural decorative stone.
However, it is also common for quartz countertops to explode during use. After the first crack appeared, we all thought it was a problem with the quartz stone slab itself. In fact, more than 90% of cracks start in the corners of openings. This is worthy of our deep thought. Let’s analyze the reasons below!
The processing of cabinet countertops has a great influence on it, especially the opening is very important. The opening of the quartz stone countertop should be smooth and not jagged, let alone a simple right angle, to prevent small cracks or chips when opening the hole.
The four corners should be rounded, with a diameter of not less than 20mm, and smoothed with sandpaper to avoid stress points at the openings and explosions caused by uneven force on the countertop.
