Marble
Marble
Marble is another top choice for homeowners because of its radiating beauty. Being natural stone, it can withstand heat but is one of the higher-maintenance options. Marble is very versatile when it comes to color and pattern, whether you're going for bold or subtle. There are many options for you!
Marble Pros:
- Visually appealing: Marble is a beautiful material and makes any kitchen look luxurious. Like granite, no two marble countertops are the same because they are 100% natural.
- Availability: Marble is easily found all over the world and is available in a variety of styles and colors.
- Increases home value: Marble can increase the value of your home over time if well maintained. Keeping your marble in good shape takes work, but it will pay off as an investment in your home.
Marble Cons:
- Cost: Marble can be a more expensive countertop option depending on the type you choose.
- Staining: Marble is porous, so it stains easily. It’s important to wipe up spills right away, or they’ll seep down into the marble. You can invest in marble sealer but it needs to be maintained regularly.
- Prone to damage: Marble is one of the softer stones and can easily chip, etch, and scratch. It's important to avoid dropping anything heavy or sharp on it. Years down the line some customers get their marble refinished (smoothed out or buffed) by an outside source.
