Fake counterfeit phenomenon Seriously buy cabinet countertops to guard against fakes

In the components of the cabinet, the countertop is undoubtedly one of the most important parts. A sturdy, wear-resistant, flat surface, and a shoddy countertop, the user's experience is not the same. So, does a good brand cabinet have good countertops? the answer is negative. It is understood that the key to the quality of countertops lies in the level of sanding, bonding, and installation of countertops. Therefore, it may happen that the countertop base material used in the two brand cabinets is the same, but the effect of product quality is quite different.

In recent days, in order to help consumers select qualified quality artificial stone countertops, the “anti-counterfeit” logo on the cabinet countertops and “pure aluminum” logos have been issued one after another. It is understood that artificial stone countertops have a lot of fake and shoddy products, and ordinary consumers will buy “fake goods” when they choose to buy them. Home Furnishing Network, please explain the relevant experts in which tricky, hoping to be able to buy cabinets authentic countertops to help you.

â—† Serious fake and shoddy

There are many counterfeit and counterfeit phenomena on the market. For example, the calcium-containing powder countertop is a product of intense competition. "A good artificial stone countertop needs a few thousand dollars, and a poor quality countertop can be bought for a few hundred dollars." Yong Yong, deputy secretary-general of the Furniture Association of China Furniture Association, said that due to fierce competition, in order to pursue high profits, some Manufacturers do not hesitate to reduce the quality of the product, should be added to the aluminum hydroxide in the resin, but due to the higher cost of aluminum hydroxide, they add calcium powder to the table, that is, calcium carbonate. Since calcium carbonate is not stable enough to encounter hot acids, chemical reactions are very likely to occur. Normal acrylic board, the resin content should reach 35%, only the resin reaches a certain proportion, the sheet will have better toughness. After the calcium powder is added, the artificial stone plate becomes fragile, easily cracked and deformed, and tends to yellow. "Ultraviolet light will turn yellow and easy to eat. Soy sauce will infiltrate and contaminate the countertops." "The life of the countertop will be greatly reduced, seriously affecting the function of the cabinet." It is understood that the period of use of the cabinet is about 10 years. Once countertops are adulterated, the service life is only one or two years, which greatly reduces the use of cabinets.

In addition to adding calcium powder to the countertop, there are also manufacturers that add resin to quartz countertops, namely counterfeit quartz countertops. False quartz stone resin content is high, the surface hardness will be relatively low, it is easy to scratch. In addition, because the cabinets are customized products, some unscrupulous merchants will “turn packages” at the time of delivery and use counterfeit products instead of genuine products in the showroom. Consumers should pay more attention.

â—† Different performance of artificial stone countertops

"Artificial stone countertops are divided into quartz stone countertops, acrylic countertops and pure aluminum powder countertops." Yong Yong introduced. Each of these types of mesa has its own characteristics. The main component of quartz stone is quartz, which is silica, very hard and scratch-resistant, but it is relatively less in shape; can make a lot of colors, environmental protection, and high stability, resistance to oil, acid and alkali, generally No penetration, no discoloration. Quartz stone tabletop maintenance is relatively simple, will maintain a permanent brightness, the table is easy to clean, but because it can not do arc-shaped retaining water, easy to filth. Cericite is a kind of quartz stone countertop, which is divided into pure imported and domestically produced. It has the characteristics of no scraping, no pollution, no burning, no use, no bacteria, no toxicity and no radiation, and its performance is very stable.

Traditional artificial stone countertops usually refer to acrylic countertops. At present, DuPont Corian and other brands are made of acrylic resin and aluminum hydroxide, which have a certain degree of toughness and hardness, but are afraid of knife scratches. This kind of material is resistant to corrosion and light. It can also make various shapes under high temperature conditions. The aging process is very slow and the product life is very long. It has the advantages of being non-toxic and non-harmful and not discoloring. In addition, it is easy to refurbish, polish and polish such countertops.

Pure aluminum powder table has Monterey and other brands, good performance, relatively cheap, popular.

â—† Watch color labels to buy genuine products

How does the average consumer buy a "genuine" countertop? Zhai Yong introduced that the kitchen and toilet trade association will accept small samples from consumers for inspections. Consumers who suspect that the countertops are not qualified can directly contact the kitchen and toilet association for inspection.

According to relevant practitioners, consumers can also check the authenticity of countertops by the following methods. A look: visual sample color is not pure turbidity, good permeability, no plastic-like texture on the surface, no fine pores on the opposite side of the plate; second touch: hand touch the surface of the sample has a sense of silk, no astringent, no obvious level of unevenness . (This can be used to identify the use of aluminum hydroxide, or the use of calcium carbonate); three strokes: scratch the surface of the plate with a fingernail, no obvious scratches; four tests: test soy sauce permeability can be used (the result is no penetration); The vinegar was tested for the presence or absence of calcium carbonate (the result was no discoloration and no powder); the lighter was used to burn the tabletop sample (the result was flame retardant, no open flame, the higher the acrylic content, the more unpolished the tabletop); five checks: check the product No ISO quality system certification, environmental protection mark certification, quality inspection report, product warranty card and related security signs.

How to identify adulterated quartz stone countertops? According to experts, due to the low hardness of adulterated quartz countertops, a white scratch will appear on a deep-colored knife. In addition, quartz stones with high resin content are lighter. Consumers can easily judge through these. Experts also reminded consumers that they can ask the merchant to provide corresponding counter warranty cards and other materials at the time of purchase, or specify the materials of the purchased products in the contract to safeguard their own rights and interests.

â—† Identify the advantages and disadvantages of the kitchen countertops four tips

When consumers buy kitchen countertops, how to identify the countertops installed in their own homes is a good countertop with good quality and good processing technology? Here we teach you four simple identification methods, and you can uncover the bottom of man-made stone processing “guerilla”. .

First of all, see if the delivered table is complete. In addition to being easy to transport and handle, it must be made into two or three pieces, that is, a stitching seam should be left, and the rest should already be processed in the factory; there should be no shortage of retaining or hanging edges on a single table. Immature processing will block the water at the site.

Second, the retaining water and the countertop have a 1/4 circle arc transition. Can not make the concave arc, it can not be straight block water (that is, the table and the retaining angle of 90 degrees at right angles). These two types of stealing techniques not only affect the strength, but also are easy to crack, unsightly, easy to accumulate dirt, and breed bacteria.

Third, the surface of the surface of the table to be transported should be polished (in addition to the 5-10 cm of the splicing section), and the surface should be uniform in color, and the mirror surface should be smooth, smooth and not greasy. No oil or wax is felt on the surface.

Fourth, the installed countertops should have no traces at the joints (except for retaining water and slight lines at the hanging edges). The entire set of table tops is complete in shape, good in linearity, flat and colorless, and has a strong translucent light perception. The effect is the same; all corners should not have a dead circle arc transition; the mesa and the corner have a gap of 3-5mm, but they are basically uniform and filled with glass glue evenly and smoothly; the entire site installation work should be completed within 2 hours. And there should not be too much dust.

If the countertop processing can meet the above requirements, it must be processed by a mature and mature company. It can guarantee the quality of the products and really have a good after-sales service. Similarly, the quality of the countertops can be processed, and the raw materials used are also genuine.
