Other people’s countertops have been as bright and clean as new for ten years. Whether they are atmospheric and simple light color countertops or calm and elegant dark color countertops, the focus of whether they are dirt resistant is not color, but material. From 2012 to 2019, many people recommend buying quartz stone countertops. The reason is very simple. As a countertop, quartz stone is stable, wear-resistant, leak proof and the price is very reasonable.
In contrast, the stainless steel countertop is cold and boring, and the technology of wood countertop such as fireproof board is not mature enough. Occasionally, some new technologies come out, which are short-lived and difficult to enter the mainstream of the market.
But the biggest problem with quartz is: ugly. No matter how designed, the dull texture won’t make people have a little waves. I’ve seen too many family kitchens and done everything right, except the quartz countertop. It’s so awkward. In 2017, or earlier, the rock plate entered the market, but the price remained high, which persuaded many people to retreat. Rock plate is the future trend. In the pursuit of quality home decoration, good quartz still has a place, and rock plate will gradually put down its body and become the mainstream choice with the mprovement of cost performance.
Rock slab vs ceramic tile
Rock plate and ceramic tile are actually a family, which are the products of “sintering”. The difference is that the rock plate simulates and restores the production process of marble after more than 10000 tons of high pressure. Ceramic tiles have not experienced such high-strength pressing, and have embryo bottom, which is not transparent after glazing. Although there are many opinions on the Internet, I think this is the fundamental difference between rock plate and ceramic tile, which is why small factories can’t make rock plate – because there is no such big press.
Slate vs quartzite
Compared with quartz stone, the rock plate is very different. Quartz stone is not sintered, but “solidified” by heating quartz sand and resin. We used to joke that quartz stone is glued by white cement, broken glass and glue – joke, but that’s the basic principle. It has no obvious advantages in hardness, wear resistance and other basic properties, but it has risen to a new height in toughness, heat resistance, leakage resistance and impact resistance. The installation of the rock plate will not produce toxic substances like quartz stone – people who have experienced the on-site installation of quartz stone must have a deep understanding.
Rock slab vs marble
We all know that marble is good, but the delicate and fragile characteristics of marble, high price and cumbersome maintenance are doomed that marble is difficult to become the first choice for kitchen countertops. The rock slab has the shape and overall characteristics of marble, but it is not so delicate, which gives us the opportunity to use snowflake white, fish belly white, jazz white and grayish sandstone instead of just coveting the marble countertops of foreign kitchens
A few years ago, rock slabs were very expensive, even more expensive than marble, which is famous for its high price. In recent years, with the domestic ceramic tile enterprises joining the battlefield, they have launched a variety of rock plate products, and the price has been pulled to a relatively reasonable level. The price of entry-level rock plate is almost the same as that of medium and high-end brand quartz stone.
