Luminous, luxurious marble brings a crisp brightness that soapstone, granite or man-made materials simply can't duplicate. Choosing the classic look of marble countertops for your kitchen, bar or bathroom offers a number of advantages.
Even though it looks stunningly expensive, marble can actually cost less than other natural stone countertop materials.
Marble is a natural stone, so it's more resistant to scratching, cracking and breaking than many other available countertop materials. In spite of its durability, marble is softer than granite, so it's possible to incorporate attractive design elements, such as fancy edges, during the fabrication process.
Marble has long been favored by professional chefs and home bakers because it stays cool, making it ideal for rolling out pastry. What's not as well-known is that marble countertops are heat resistant as well. Marble won't catch fire or burn, but it's wise to preserve the finish by not placing a hot pan or pot on the surface without protection.
Marble has been used as a building material for a very long time, so its ability to withstand the test of time is well documented. When it's expertly installed and properly sealed and maintained, you can expect to enjoy the beauty of marble for a lifetime.
