the common problem of quartz stone countertop





.crack of the quartz stone countertop:
1.common crack situation:
crack of the joint of the quartz stone countertopcorner cracking of the quartz stone countertopcracking of furnace hole perimetercracking of black splashcracking of the connection between the black splash and quartz countertopCracking in the center of the quartz stone countertop
2reasons for the cracking of the quartz stone countertops
.crack of the joint of the quartz stone countertop: joint is unaligned when the worker joint two piece of the quartz stone countertop, or cut the quartz stone countertop as a mouth of a horn, which on side is bigger than the other side , or don’t spread the glue evenly and more important is don’t clip the quartz stone countertop or don’t clip tightly after spreading glue , or add excess curing agent and accelerator to the glue when do joint to make the joint is brittle and will be easy to crack by a slight impact cracking;
.corner cracking of the quartz stone countertop: too close to the wall without any shrinkage space, or the two cabinets is rugged, or make before turning into a right angle, then the quartz stone countertop will be easy to crack by external shocks or changes in temperature;
(3).cracking of furnace hole perimeter:There is no gap between the gas stove and the stove holes, or the holes are not polished smooth, or the basin hole are not worn round or have serrated marks, then the quartz stone countertop will be easy to crack by external shocks or changes in temperature;
(4).cracking of black splash: The cabinet or the support plate is not even or smooth:
(5).cracking of the connection between the black splash and quartz countertop: Glue is not firm;
(6) .cracking in the center of the quartz stone countertop: Because of high temperature, external shocks, cabinets or support plate is uneven or the quartz stone slab is internal injury etc.;
.quartz stone countertop is deformed
there is part deformation occurring of the quartz stone countertop, the main problem is the quartz stone slab is soft, or there is no shrink space when install the quartz stone countertop in and so on; all of these is due to the quality of the quartz stone slab and fabrication quality;
. color change of the part of quartz stone countertop
A: deep color or light colored quartz stone slab color changes as they dipped in water or colored liquid, deep color quartz stone slab will variable light or whitish, and there will be water mark on the surface of light color quartz stone slab. This is mainly caused by poor quality of filler of the quartz stone slab; another situation is quartz stone slab is exposure to sunlight for prolong time and then the quartz stone countertop will be color changing. This main reason of this is the anti UV ability is of the quartz stone slab is worse, because of pigment is instability, poor quality.

tips of operating the quartz stone fabrication machine


it is better to follow certain procedures during the operation of the quartz stone cutting machine.
1 during the fabrication, it is better to inspect and supervise the cutting conditions, and deal with or solve it immediately if there is any problem.
2 when programming, should be according to the real situation to determine the correct fabrication technology and fabrication route, to avoid the fabrication position is insufficient or take edge strength is not enough and the work piece of quartz stone scrapped in advance.
3 checking whether the jet selection is reasonable, with high pressure jet flow when rough machining, with low pressure jet flow when finish machine.
4. moving workbench or spindle should be according to the distance with the work piece of quartz stone. Taking the correct moving speed and take strict precautions against moving too quickly to avoid the collision occurred.
5 to check whether the feeding speed of the electrode wire is appropriate.
6 lines cutting must be confirmed before the procedure or the amount of compensation is correct.
7 before the cutting, should pay attention to observe the fabrication stability, and timely adjustment of bad.
8 according to the real situation of the fabrication parts of quartz stone, to choose the open machining or close processing, in the premise of avoiding interference as far as possible to shorten the distance between the nozzle and the fabrication parts of quartz stone.During close process, the distance between the nozzle and the fabrication parts of quartz stone is generally 0.05 ~ 0.1mm.

9 checking the wire tension is sufficient. In taper cutting, usually turn down the tension to the half tone of normal.

What thickness of Quartz Stone is better for countertop



The other day, discussed with our colleague about the thickness of Quartz Stone for countertops. What thickness is better for countertops?
As we know, there are several kinds of thickness of quartz stone,12mm,15mm,18mm,20mm,

30mm, but which is better? In domestic area, many Property developers are prefer to use the 12mm Quartz Stone for countertop to save the cost. However, actually, 12mm Quartz Stone slab is easy to break as Quartz Stone is brittleness itself, and 12mm Quartz Stone will can bear lower impact. Then which thickness of Quartz Stone is better for countertops,15mm,18mm,20mm or 30mm? as we discussed, and find out, 18mm or 20mm may will be better for the quartz stone to be used for the countertops. As 18mm and 20mm ones is thicker than the 12mm and 15mm ones, so 18mm and 20mm quartz stone could bear more impact, at the meanwhile, 18mm and 20mm is little thinner than the 30mm Quartz Stone, this will make the 18mm or 20mm Quartz Stone to be much lighter than the 30mm Quartz Stone, then will be much safer when there is some impact or concussion. Also, as 18mm or 20mm Quartz Stone is thinner than the 30mm Quartz Stone, so will be easier to be fabricated and could save the cost.

Our Quartz Stone and Acrylic Granite Sink




As we know, Quartz Stone is made from natural Quartz and little resin. and we also have the product Acrylic Granite Sink, also knew as acrylic quartz sink. Then,sometimes, customers are curious whether the material for acrylic quartz sink is same as quartz stone. Actually, the raw material for making quartz stone is same as acrylic quartz sink, but the content of the raw material is different for this two kinds of product. Raw material content for quartz stone is 93% natural quartz and 7% resin, but the content of raw material for acrylic quartz sink, is about 20% resin and 80% natural quartz. Because the raw material for acrylic quartz sink have to be pour into the stainless steel mould, so the mixed raw material should be fluid and easier to be modelled, then the resin content have to be higher. So the hardness of acrylic quartz sink is well, but is not as high as quartz stone. However, the acrylic quartz sink is still with excellent performance and also is more and more popular.

The difference of Big Quartz Stone Slab and Small Ones




Right now, there are many domestic Quartz Stone manufacturers, who can only produce the small quartz stone slabs. As we know, the size of Big Quartz Stone slab is normally 3000*1400mm, 3050*1500mm,
3200*1600mm, and the size of small Quartz Stone is 2440*760*, which made by the production line directly, excluded the ones cut to the requested size. The professional customers will be prefer to the big slabs to the small ones, then what is the difference of the big slab to the small ones.


As we know, the big quartz stone slabs is compressed by the big vibrating vacuum machine, small one is made by the small machines. Of course, the pressure of the big vibrating vacuum machine is higher than that small ones. Then the quartz stone slabs made by the big vibrating vacuum compressive machine is with better compactness than the one made by the small machines. The product with better compactness will be much more stain resistance, anti-bacterial, sauce resistance, non-penetration, acid&alkali resistance, this will guarantee the big quartz stone slabs is with better performance and long term service life. That is the main reason that professional customers is more prefer to the big quartz stone slabs.

What need we to pay attention for Quartz Stone used for floor tile



As we know, Quartz Stone is high hardness, luxury color and appearance, which is a new kind of material using for floor tile. But many people may don’t have idea what should pay attention if use the Quartz Stone for floor tile. Today, here, we will talk some about this topic.

As Quartz Stone is with well abrasion resistance, beautiful appearance which looks like the natural stone, Quartz stone is very popularly applied for the countertops. As the production technology developing, Quartz Stone is used for the floor tile slowly and slowly. Then what should we pay attention to the Quartz Stone which used for floor tile?

1.       the thickness of the Quartz Stone should not be so thick, normally 10mm is best choice, otherwise, the Quartz Stone floor tile which deform in the future if the thickness is too thick;
2.       there is no appearance that one head is little wider than the other head. Otherwise, it will be hard when fix the Quartz Stone floor tile. To make sure the two sides head almost in same size, need to pay more attention to the size exactly when do fabrication.
3.       The diagonal should be almost even and deviation should be reasonable. Otherwise, this also will make hard for the fixing. To make sure the symmetrical diagonal, need also pay high attention to the size when fabricate.
Hope this could help you to choose the Quartz Stone floor tile.thanks.

What is may the main impurity in Quartz Stone



As the Quartz Stone is one kind of man made stone, so there may be impurity. Then what may be the main impurity for the Quartz Stone and how could we avoid there will be impurity in Quartz Stone?

1.       the mostly content of quartz stone is quartz, which is natural material. Then there should be some impurity in the quartz. So need we to inspect the quartz material and deal with it carefully, otherwise, the impurity will be mixed into the quartz stone as the raw material mixing;
2.       during the material mixing, mostly depends on manual mixing, then there may be some different kinds of quartz or other kind of material which will stick on the gloves or on the tools. So need we to pay attention to clean the gloves or tools after finishing mixing of one kind of color to another kind of color. Otherwise, the different kinds of raw material stick on the gloves or tools will be into the Quartz Stone and becomes impurity.

3.       during equidistributing the mixed material on the mould, will use the wood to fix the material in the mould, avoiding it will come out. Then there will be bits of wood into the Quartz Stone accidently. So need we to pay attention when do equidistribution. Otherwise, there will be bits of wood into the mixed material and become impurity.
