Quartz stone countertops are one of the preferred materials for kitchen stovetops, and their appearance and performance are better than other materials. But quartz countertops also have a fatal problem: cracking. Wrong use can easily cause the countertop to crack, and then give people a sense of danger. So, how to avoid cracking and repair of quartz stone countertops? Today, the editor of FABULOUS Group will take you to understand.
一. How to avoid cracking of quartz stone countertops
1. When designing the splicing process, the user needs to consider that the quartz stone has the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction. Therefore, a certain gap should be reserved during the splicing process, so as to avoid future thermal expansion. Causes the problems of extrusion and cracks on the quartz stone countertops.
2. The edge of the perforation should be evenly ground. The quartz stone stove will be perforated in the sink and other places. Then the user must perform the corresponding grinding during the process of opening the hole. At the same time, ensure that the size of the opening is appropriate. It can be too small. Don't wait for squeezing during use, it will cause cracks in the quartz stone countertops.
3. Set aside telescopic gaps. During the construction and installation process, users need to pay attention to leaving enough telescopic gaps on the wall. If you are worried that the telescopic gaps will cause water to flow to the back of the cabinet, you might as well place them on the wall. Install a water retaining strip, so that there is no need to worry about the accumulation of water flowing down.
二. How to repair quartz stone cracks
Clean the cracks first, and use glue and curing agent to mix at a ratio of 10:1; after mixing, apply glue. During the application process, you can stick the masking tape around the cracks, so that it will be better cleaned after construction ;Finally, after the glue is dry, tear off the tape and sand the glue with sandpaper.
