Although cabinet countertop installation is the final step, it is also a crucial step. The quality of the countertop installation will directly affect the service life of the entire cabinet! Everyone has their own opinions on whether to use cushion strips or plates under the installation of quartz stone countertops. We should understand whether to add it or not before making a comment.
Quartz stone belongs to artificial synthetic stone sheets made by die casting, with a higher density and much heavier weight compared to artificial and natural stones. If the load-bearing capacity of the cabinet can reach, there is no need to add padding strips or plates. However, many cabinets currently use composite boards, which are weaker in terms of load-bearing. In this case, using a cushion strip or plate is better because it can evenly distribute the force on the countertop to the entire cabinet.
Should we use a cushion strip or a cushion plate? The purpose of the cushion is to make the force on the countertop more uniform and reduce the probability of cracking on the countertop. Generally, aluminum alloy pads or quartz keel, plastic steel keel, aluminum alloy keel, etc. are commonly used under the quartz stone platform. The selection of cushion boards is generally made of wooden boards. Wooden cushion boards are greatly affected by air and are prone to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in the breakage of the countertop and affecting its normal use; The cushion strip is not affected by air and is not easily deformed. The cushion strip also decomposes the gravity of the countertop, making the load-bearing capacity of the countertop even and enhancing the service life of the cabinet.
