Precautions for processing and installation of quartz stone countertops

Before installation, you need to process and design the quartz stone. Specifically, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Quartz stone is generally installed by splicing. When choosing the splicing position, try to avoid the corners and the furnace mouth. This is because the quartz stone has the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction. If it is close to the furnace fire or corner, There may be cracking.

2. When designing the corners of the table, you should fully consider the stress concentration, which will cause cracks at the corners of the table. Therefore, all corners should be kept at a radius of 2.5 cm or more during processing.

3. When designing the hob opening position, the opening position of the countertop should be greater than or equal to 8 cm from the edge of the countertop to prevent the countertop from cracking. When opening the hob opening, first use a cutting machine or a jig saw to make the hole. Use a gong machine or hand grinder to polish and trim the edges to achieve a smooth effect. The radius of the four corners is basically uniform. Because the jig saw and cutting machine open holes, there are serration marks on the periphery of the cut holes, which can easily cause holes Cracked at the place.

4. The corners of the openings should be rounded with a radius of more than 2.5 cm. The four corners must be reinforced with homogeneous plate plates. There must be a certain space between the stove and the countertop, and the space distance is 0.4-0.6 cm Heat insulation cloth and tin-platin paper are added around the openings for heat insulation protection measures.

5. When designing the countertop, consider the limitation of stairs, elevators, doors and other transportation channels on the countertop size, and the on-site joints should meet the aforementioned joint requirements.

Precautions for installation of quartz stone countertops:

　　 1. Check the flatness of the cabinet before installation, and check whether the size of the quartz stone countertop matches the cabinet completely. If errors occur, the quartz stone countertops need to be reworked or the cabinets need to be trimmed.

　　2. When measuring the depth of the cabinet, the countertop needs to reserve a size of 4cm to facilitate the installation of the hanging side bars.

　　3. When splicing some super long countertops (such as L-shaped countertops), in order to ensure the flatness of the spliced countertops and the rigidity of the joints, it is recommended to use strong fixing clips (A clip, F clip) to fix the quartz stone plate. In addition, when bonding the lower hanging strips, a strong fixing clip should also be used to fix it to ensure the perfect combination of the countertop splicing and the gap between the countertop and the lower hanging strip.

　　4. There should be a certain distance between the quartz stone countertop and the wall (usually 3mm to 5mm). After installation, the gap between the countertop and the wall should be evenly coated with glass glue.

　　 5. In the installation of the countertop, try to avoid large-scale cutting and drilling of quartz stone at the construction site. On the one hand, it is to prevent cutting dust from polluting the construction site, and on the other hand, to prevent errors caused by inaccurate cutting.

　　6. Due to the high hardness and density of quartz stone countertops, the processing technology requirements are high. Therefore, for the installation of quartz stone countertops, you should contact a professional quartz stone installer and use professional tools to install it. You must not install it blindly by yourself to avoid causing it.
