A person is constantly in the search for materials that could become natural analogues or at least replace them. With the growth of technical progress of opportunities for this, there are more and more, and this trend remains for almost all sectors of life — the creation of fabrics from artificial fibers to artificial intelligence.
Of course, various materials are also created for interior design, in some sense even superior in terms of plasticity and ease of working with them natural. For example, an artificial (acrylic) stone is indispensable for a kitchen interior — artificial stone countertops can be of any color and almost any shape that leaves the designers with a huge scope for imagination.
Artificial stone countertops do not absorb odors, do not damp, do not change color. Thanks to a mirror smooth surface, it is very easy to wash them. The probability that such a countertop will remain any spots after cooking is minimal. Acrylic stone practically does not contain pores, which guarantees the absence of mold and microorganisms for the entire time of its operation even in conditions of high humidity.
Despite the fact that acrylic is a synthetic material, it is not at all a fuel, which makes artificial stone countertops completely safe. In addition, artificial stone, no matter how strange it sounds, is much stronger than natural stone used in interiors (for example, marble). This allows you to consider artificial stone countertops more durable than their analogues from natural materials.
In addition to acrylic stone, today another material is used for the manufacture of countertops — conglomerate. The conglomerate includes natural stone crumbs mixed in certain proportions with plastic, polyester resins and pigment. Sometimes, to improve the decorative qualities of the countertop, mirror or glass crumb is added to such material. Based on the conglomerate, both elite and inexpensive countertops are made, in terms of value available to everyone.
Fans of natural materials will probably be interested in finding out that artificial stone countertops by weight are much easier than those made of natural stone. This property provides them even more convenience — for example, during transportation. In addition, artificial stone is very easy to repair and restoration in case of mechanical damage.
