Although the installation of cabinet countertops belongs to the latter process, it is also an important part. The quality of the installation of the countertop will directly affect the service life of the overall cabinet! Everyone has their own opinions on why the pads or pads are used under the installation of quartz countertops with veins. In the end it should not be added that we should understand and then make a comment.

Should you add strips or pads under quartz countertops with veins

Quartz stone is an artificial stone plate made by artificial die casting. Its density is high and its weight is much heavier than artificial stone and natural stone. If the bearing capacity of the cabinet can be achieved, it is not necessary to add pads or pads, but at present, many cabinets use composite panels, which are weaker in terms of load-bearing. In this case, it is better to use a spacer or a spacer, because the force on the countertop can be evenly distributed to the entire cabinet.

So should you use a strip or a pad? The purpose of the pad is to make the force on the table more uniform and reduce the chance of the table cracking. Generally, our common quartz countertops with veins are underlayed with aluminum alloy pads or quartz stone keels, plastic steel keels, aluminum alloy keels, etc. The choice of the backing board is generally wood. The wooden backing board is greatly affected by the air, and it is easy to thermally expand and contract, resulting in the breakage of the countertop and affecting the normal use of the countertop; while the backing strip is not affected by the air and is not easily deformed, and the backing strip is also the same. The gravity of the countertop is decomposed, the bearing capacity of the countertop is improved, and the service life of the cabinet is enhanced.
