Why is Quartz Suitable for Families with Infants? --Analysis of the Five Advantages of Antibacterial Quartz
1. Introduction: Adaptability of Antibacterial Quartz to Infant Care Scenes
With the release of the new national standard for maternal and infant home safety in 2025, the antibacterial rate ≥ 99% has become a hard indicator. As one of the trending materials, quartz has quickly become the first batch of building materials that meet the standards. Antibacterial quartz countertops have shown unparalleled advantages in infant families with their excellent antibacterial properties. The uniqueness of quartz countertops can not only effectively prevent the growth of bacteria, but also ensure that every corner of the family is in a clean and safe state, which is especially important for the growth of babies. According to industry reports, quartz stone has been widely recognized for its antibacterial performance, meets the health needs of infants and young children, and is an ideal choice for families with infants.
2. In-depth Analysis of the Five Advantages
1) Zero-pore Physical Barrier
Antibacterial quartz countertops can effectively block liquid penetration with their non-porous structure with a density of up to 2.4g/cm³. Data show that breast milk stains stay on the quartz surface for 24 hours without any penetration. Compared with wooden countertops, quartz countertops completely eliminate the risk of mold growth, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of infants being exposed to harmful substances.
2) Technical Innovation of Antibacterial Quartz
The antibacterial ability of antibacterial quartz countertops comes from its unique technological innovation. Through advanced antibacterial silver ion technology, antibacterial ions are added to the quartz countertops, so that the quartz surface can effectively resist bacterial growth and ensure that the countertops remain clean for a long time. This innovative technology not only improves the durability of quartz countertops, but also greatly enhances its antibacterial properties, providing a healthier and safer living environment.
3) Certification System
The antibacterial quartz countertops have passed the EU EC1 Plus certification, ensuring that the formaldehyde emission is less than 0.005mg/m³, which meets international environmental standards. The US NSF/ANSI 51 food contact safety certification further proves that it is suitable for direct contact with infant food. Through these stringent certifications, antibacterial quartz countertops can provide a safer and healthier environment for the growth of infants and young children. At the same time, after extreme testing, no heavy metal precipitation was detected after the baby's complementary food was directly in contact with the antibacterial quartz countertop for 72 hours, indicating its harmlessness.
4) Humanized Safety Design
Antibacterial quartz countertops can also be customized into a unique anti-collision design, that is, R10 rounded corners and 3cm thickened edges. The safety of the countertop has passed the EU EN71-1 toy safety standard impact test, which greatly reduces the safety risks of infant families. This design is particularly suitable for families with children, reducing injuries caused by collisions, creating a infants care space.
5) Full Life Cycle Cleanliness
The easy-to-clean nature of the quartz countertop is also a highlight. Stubborn milk stains can be wiped clean without relying on traditional disinfectants, which is both time-saving and environmentally friendly. After endurance testing after 1,000 steel ball frictions, the quartz countertop can still maintain up to 95% of antibacterial performance, showing its super durability and long-term cleaning ability.
3. Healthy Application of Antibacterial Quartz Stone
According to the advice of pediatric experts, antibacterial quartz surfaces can effectively reduce the risk of digestive tract infections in infants and young children. According to a study published in the March 2025 issue of the Chinese Journal of Pediatrics, the use of antibacterial quartz countertops can reduce the probability of digestive tract infections in infants and young children by 67%. In addition, designers also believe that with the development of design trends in 2025, "chewable countertops" will become one of the popular designs. Combining edible silicone edging with antibacterial quartz slabs, this innovative design not only meets the needs of infants to chew, but also maintains safety and hygiene.
Therefore, in the kitchen of a baby-raising family, antibacterial quartz countertops are an ideal choice. It can effectively prevent babies from being exposed to potentially harmful substances and ensure the hygiene of the food preparation area. Especially in the milk powder brewing area, the seamless splicing technology of the whole body quartz eliminates the hidden dangers of traditional countertop joints hiding dirt, greatly reducing the growth of bacteria and dirt. The waterproof and anti-penetration properties of quartz countertops also make it an ideal choice for bathroom countertops, ensuring that the environment that the baby is exposed to when bathing is clean and hygienic.
In addition, quartz countertops are not only suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, but also for bedrooms or living rooms. The combination of 3mm quartz flooring and cork bottom layer can provide a safer and more comfortable activity space for children's growth. The anti-fouling and wear-resistant properties of quartz flooring can cope with the lively activities of babies and keep them clean and durable for a long time.
