If the flatness is not as good as possible, you must immediately respond to the ordering party and make a timely treatment to avoid affecting the use.

The hardness of the stone is related to your selection of materials, and the hardness of different materials is also different.
The hardness of the stone is large, the texture is hard, the scratch resistance is very outstanding, and the wear resistance is good.
If the hardness of the stone is small, the countertop will be easily eroded by water and moisture after being used for a long time.
Improper use will result in degumming, deformation, substrate expansion, and other consequences.
Part3: Acceptance of cabinet accessories
Don’t underestimate the accessories of the cabinet. Small accessories affect the connection and use of the entire cabinet.
If the quality and installation of the cabinet accessories are not enough, the durability of the cabinet will be greatly reduced.

Professional big factories use linear edge banding machines to complete the process of edge banding, head breaking, trimming, chamfering, polishing, and so on.
The glue is evenly distributed, and the pressure of pressing and sealing the edge is stable, ensuring the most accurate size.
The workshop-style small factory uses glue with a brush, manually presses the edge banding, trims it with a caster knife, and polishes it with a manual polishing machine.
Due to uneven pressure, many places are not strong, and it can also cause toxic gases such as formaldehyde to volatilize. in the air.
