You’re ready to remodel your kitchen, but you’re faced with one particular problem. You’re still not sure what sort of marble countertop you want installed in your home? There are a wide variety of options you can choose from. And you’re not entirely sure which one is the best one. But don’t keep thinking it over. Trust us when we tell you that the best choice you can make is a marble countertop. They’re a great addition that you can have fitted into any property. And if you’re not aware of the benefits that a marble countertop has, then continue reading below.

Reasons Why You Should Get a Marble Countertop

Stain Protection

Stone materials by themselves are porous, meaning that they can absorb liquids. With that being said, a marble countertop by itself can easily be stained if any sort of liquids fell on them such as juice. However, stone countertops can be given a sealer in order to provide it with protection from liquids, scratches, etc. So even when you have a marble countertop installed, you can trust that with a sealer, your marble will be protected. And when you call Marble & Granite Connection, they’ll be more than happy to seal your marble as it’s being installed in your home.

Every Slab is Unique

One of the best things about marble is that each slab is unique in design. No two marble countertops are the same. And this is simply because all marble stone materials are formed with different vein patterns. No matter how many marble countertops exist in the world, you can best believe that no two of them look the same whatsoever.

Easy Maintenance

One of the best things about marble countertops is that they’re relatively easy to maintain. While you can’t just use standard cleaners to maintain your marble countertop, you can still find stone cleaner brands available at stores. With a stone cleaner, all you simply need to do is apply the cleaner to a rag (or a wad of paper towels) and rub it on your marble countertop.

Great For Baking

As opposed to most other countertop materials, one of marble’s best features is that it’s able to stay cool. And because of this, it’s a perfect work surface for bakers. If you happen to be working with chocolate, dough, or any other material that can easily melt, you won’t have to worry about such ingredients turning into a puddle on your work station. Hot items will also be able to cool quickly when placed on a marble countertop so long as you have something placed underneath the hot item (like a kitchen towel or oven mitt).

On another note, marble is also great for baking because it’s highly heat-resistant.

Durability

Don’t let marble’s beauty deceive you. Because it’s a natural stone material, marble is very durable. So don’t worry about hitting it too hard if you were to accidentally drop a pot on your new countertop. We can assure you that it’s able to take quite a beating.

It’s time to remodel your kitchen and you want to furnish it with something that will be absolutely beautiful and durable. So now you’re left to wonder if you should get a marble or granite countertop installed. Both would make excellent additions to your property, but it’s difficult to choose the right one when they’re both amazing stone types. Which one do you choose?

If you’re uncertain of which of the two types of stone countertops you want to have installed, then continue reading below. Marble & Granite Connection of South Florida has compiled a small list of key differences amongst the two.

Marble or Granite Countertop?

Durability

Marble and granite are both natural, porous stone materials, and each of them is highly durable. However, if you’re looking to install the most durable of the two, you’ll find that granite is the stronger material.

Marble is a metamorphic rock that’s formed from recrystallized carbon and out of limestone that’s been subjected to intense pressure and heat from the earth. The reason why granite is stronger is that it’s an igneous rock that’s composed of multiple materials. Those multiple materials combined make granite an extremely dense stone.

Appearance

Both stone materials are beautiful in appearance and your decision to install one over the other depends on your taste.

Granite shows the grains of the multiple materials that combine to compose it. They look like specks that vary in color which can appeal to the homeowner’s sense of appealing hues. Such hues include blue, green, orange, pink, red, etc. These colors can range in medium to dark shades.

Marble has a more “pattern” like appearance. The color in marble countertops consists of veins that run through it, which really concentrates on this stone’s hues. And they can also vary in colors such as darker blue, gray-pink, or even rose-red veins.

Required Maintenance

Out of the two, granite only requires a little less maintenance than with most marble countertops, likely due to the higher density this stone possesses. Marble often needs moderate to high maintenance. So if you get a marble countertop installed, ensure that it gets sealed properly in order to reduce damages caused by acidic materials. When you need professional sealing done, you can trust that Marble & Granite Connection will get the job done.

Since our work is completely custom, it is important for someone in charge to be on site to answer any questions our technician may have at the time of the templating and installation. This will ensure you get exactly what you want and expect from us.

You will also be asked to Inspect the final installation upon completion, if you have any questions or concerns about the appearance or installation of your new counter tops, you will be able address them directly to the installer at that time. After you are completely satisfied, you will be asked to sign a satisfaction form.

3. What do I need to have ready prior to the Template?

All Cabinetry needs to be complete at the time of the template. All new appliances need to be on site at the time of the template. Your sink (If not being purchased through us) needs to be on site at the time of the template.
