The kitchen is a place for making delicious food, and the ability to produce delicious food is crucial to the surrounding environment. If it's wet all over the kitchen, it can make people feel uncomfortable, let alone cook a delicious meal.
Some people believe that adding a water blocking strip when making cabinet countertops can prevent water from flowing to the ground, but it can seriously affect aesthetics. Do you also think that making this water blocking strip is unnecessary?
I don't know if everyone has had such an experience where the water used for washing vegetables and dishes often gets wet on the floor, or the clothes are everywhere. Especially for Virgos, it's just a nightmare. At this point, a small water bar can actually avoid these awkwardness.
The water blocking strip can effectively prevent splashing, especially the part near the wall of the cabinet (the back water blocking strip), which is necessary. It can prevent moisture on the countertop from entering the wall along the gaps, avoiding dampness and mold on the wall.
There is also a necessity for the existence of the water blocking strip (front water blocking strip) near the human operation area. It can prevent water from splashing onto the ground or flowing into the cabinet, which greatly extends the service life of the cabinet, as the overall cabinet body is mostly made of sheet metal.
From this perspective, the function of the water blocking strip is significant. So it's better to make a water blocking strip on the countertop of the cabinet, especially the back water blocking strip.
