Health problems on the countertop and what kind of countertops are more environmentally friendly

The cabinet that is most in contact with our entrance food is the countertop cabinet. The durability and antibacterial properties of the countertops directly affect our daily kitchen life, and more and more consumers are paying attention to the environmental and hygiene issues of the countertops. So, what kind of countertops are more environmentally friendly? We may wish to compare it carefully.

Natural marble natural texture but crack defects

Prone to cracking Natural marble has a variety of beautiful textures, but its natural micro-cracks will rupture after a long time of use.

It is difficult to wipe the crack in daily cleaning. It is inevitable that some residue will be permanently filled into the crack with the wipe of the rag, which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.

Non-negligible radiation Natural stone will have more or less radiation, which may cause harm to human health.

Granite natural material with good antibacterial properties

The density is greatly weakened as a hidden countertop material. As a traditional cabinet countertop material, granite has a high density, high hardness and a very wear-resistant surface, which reduces the possibility of hiding dirt to a certain extent.

Better antibacterial performance tests have shown that granite is more resistant to bacterial regeneration in all materials that can be used in kitchen countertops.

The limitation of natural materials The length of natural stone is usually not long, so if you want to make a long overall table, there will be seams, and these seams are also easy to hide dirt.

If you really like natural materials, granite with strong antibacterial ability is an ideal choice, but you should pay special attention to the seam level of construction workers.

Stainless steel has best antibacterial properties

Good antibacterial performance tests have shown that stainless steel has the highest resistance to bacterial regeneration in all materials currently available for kitchen countertops.

The appearance of the stainless steel table top that is easily injured is very avant-garde, and the sparkling crystal is not dirty. However, once the table is scratched by the sharp weapon, it will leave traces of unrecoverable. It is easy to hide the dirty things in these fine scratches. It is necessary to pay special attention to the surface of the wipe.

[Environmental table top corners and seams]

The countertops of the cabinets should be connected to the cabinets, and they should be connected to the walls. At this subtle connection, there are also health and environmental problems.

1. Environmentally friendly caulk

Where the table top is connected to the wall surface, it is generally bonded with a caulking agent, or a metal strip is used as a transition. It is recommended that you use a non-toxic and harmless water-soluble caulk.

2, the corner should use environmentally friendly decorative strips

At the corners of the corner table splicing, silicone bonding, plastic and special metal strips are usually used to add aesthetics. Environmentally-friendly decorative strips and caulks made of stainless steel and non-toxic polymer synthetic materials of various colors allow you to enjoy a safe and healthy kitchen life.

3. Putty for purifying the air

Even with good ventilation, it is impossible to avoid the contamination of the countertop by the soot. If you use advanced inorganic putty with air purification effect, it can effectively remove indoor pollution and odor, convert these substances into carbon dioxide and water vapor, and add cleaner and healthy air to the kitchen.
