Quartz stone countertop is also composed of countertop, water retaining, hanging edge, basin hole, stove hole, gas pipe hole and other parts. It is not difficult to install. It is a good choice to choose quartz stone countertop as kitchen countertop. What are the installation steps of quartz stone countertop? What should be paid attention to in the installation of quartz table top?

Installation steps of quartz table

1. Check the installation site

Before installation, we must do a good job of inspection. We should carefully look at the flatness of cabinets and floor cabinets, and check whether there is no error between the table top and the on-site size. If there is an error, we should adjust it in time. Don't start installation at the beginning, and wait until the later stage to find the size error, which wastes the energy spent in the front.

2. Leave seam

When measuring the depth of the cabinet, a 3-5mm gap needs to be reserved between the table and the wall. The main purpose of the gap is to prevent the expansion and contraction of the table and cabinet in the future. At the same time, in this link, we should not forget to apply glue at the gap.

3. Install the water tank

When installing the sink, the quartz stone table top and the water retaining on the table top shall be trimmed locally in advance, and then knocked to check whether it is suspended. For small suspension in some places, some glass glue can be added at the back and bottom of the stone.

4. Splicing table

When splicing some super long worktops (such as L-shaped worktops), in order to ensure the flatness of the splicing worktops and the tightness of the joints, it is recommended to use strong fixing clips (a clip and f clip) to fix the quartz plate. In addition, when bonding the lower hanging strip, it is also necessary to use a strong fixing clip to ensure the perfect combination of the tabletop splicing and the gap between the tabletop and the lower hanging strip splicing.

5. Treatment gap

After the table is installed, the gap shall be treated. The treatment of the gap can not be ignored. In order to make the installation effect better, the table can be clamped with a strong glass clamp to squeeze the gap. In addition, the gap must be cleaned, and some dirt shall not be left to affect future use.

6. Waterproof treatment

Since water is often used in daily cooking, waterproof work must be done in place. In this link, the bottom of the water retaining strip of the cabinet can be evenly coated with some glue for color matching, and the water retaining strips can be glued together one by one. It is not recommended to use colloids such as marble glue.

What are the installation precautions for quartz table

1. During the table installation, try to avoid large-scale cutting and opening of quartz stone on the construction site. On the one hand, it is to prevent cutting dust from polluting the construction site, on the other hand, it is to prevent errors caused by inaccurate cutting.

2. When designing the opening position of the stove top, the opening position of the table top shall be greater than or equal to 8 cm from the edge of the table top to prevent cracking of the hole position of the table top. When opening and taking the stove top, first use the cutting machine or curve saw to open the hole, and then use the gong machine or hand grinder to polish and trim the edge to achieve a smooth effect. The radius of the four corners is basically uniform. Due to the opening of the curve saw and cutting machine, There are sawtooth marks around the four cut holes, and there are cracks left, which is easy to cause cracking at the opening.

3. Quartz stone is generally installed by splicing. When selecting the splicing position, we should try to avoid the corner and furnace mouth. Because quartzite has the characteristics of thermal expansion and cold contraction, it may crack if it is close to the fire or corner.

4. When the quartz stone table is installed, the place where the table is connected with the sink will be marked with transparent glass glue. Before gluing, be sure to check whether the outer package of glass glue is marked with anti mildew function. After gluing, be sure to urge workers to clean up the excess glue in time.

5. Due to the high hardness and density of quartz table, the processing technology requirements are high. Therefore, for the installation of quartz stone table top, professional quartz stone installation masters should be contacted and professional tools should be used for installation. Do not install blindly by yourself to avoid unnecessary trouble.

How to check whether the installation of quartz table is complete

1. Check the joint condition. If the glue line of the joint can be clearly seen after the table is installed, or the obvious wrong joint can be felt by hand, it means that the joint must not be done well.

2. Check the color difference. Quartz stone of the same model color will have a certain degree of color difference due to different delivery time. We must pay attention to comparison and check when entering the table.

3. Check the rear water retaining. The place where the countertop is close to the wall must be turned up to form a water retaining. It should be noted that this upturn must have a smooth arc, not a right angle, otherwise it will leave a dead corner that is difficult to clean.

4. Check the flatness of the table. After the table is installed, be sure to check the flatness with a level ruler again.

5. Check the opening. The positions of the sink and stove on the table need to be opened. The edge of the opening should be smooth without sawtooth shape. The four corners should have a certain radian, not a simple right angle, and should be specially reinforced. It is best to avoid selecting on-site openings.
