With the continuous improvement of the aesthetics of the decoration, the application of stone in the home decoration is now more and more extensive. Due to the stricter restrictions on the exploitation of natural stone by the state, and the emphasis on environmental protection, the appearance of artificial stone is very good.  Make up for this phenomenon.

Because the plastic texture of artificial stone is too strong to achieve the natural stone effect, while people are constantly seeking perfection, technology is more and more developed, and a quartz stone that meets people's needs appears on the market. 

Quartz stone is composed of more than 93% quartz and 7% binder through high pressure and high vibration, so that the density of the plate reaches 2.6g/cm³, the water absorption rate is only 0.02%, almost zero, and the Mohs hardness can reach above 6  The surface is smooth, dense and non-porous, and is the most ideal decorative surface material for home decoration.  Quartz stone is a new type of decorative material combining natural beauty and high technology. It belongs to artificial stone plate, because the quartz content in the plate is as high as 93% or more (unqualified below 93%). It is called quartz stone by quartz stone manufacturers.  Some people will ask how the quartz stone is, why are there so many cracks, cracks and cracks? 
 Because quartz stone is a brittle polymer composite, it also has the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction. It also has certain mechanical properties such as shrinkage stress, impact toughness and elongation at break. When the material cannot withstand thermal expansion and contraction.  Cracking occurs when stress is severely affected by external impact.  Winter is the high season of quartz stone cracking. The excessive temperature difference is the most common cause of quartz stone cracking.

How to reduce the cracking rate, first of all, the brand product should be selected before purchase. The quality of the plate has certain guarantee. The hole in the processing should use the rounded hole to avoid the right angle opening. The table top should be installed to keep the height of the cabinet at the same level and reserve the expansion and contraction.  Seam (3-5mm best), avoid cutting, chopping, smashing, etc. directly on the board in life.
