Marble is one of the most popular natural stone options when it comes to bathroom and kitchen countertops. Its versatile but undeniable beauty endows any space with a sense of grandeur and elegance while allowing it to blend in with any home decor. It is available in numerous textures, colours, designs and patterns.
Marble can typically last up to 5x longer than other commercially available natural stones before needing to be replaced. You don’t need to worry about chips, scratches or cuts of any kind as it can handle countertop traffic well. This saves you money in the long run as you won’t have to replace or repair your marble countertop anytime soon.
Leaving hot pans and pots directly on kitchen marble countertops isn’t recommended, but marble does have heat-resistant properties. That said, it’s best to use trivets and hot pads to prevent the finish from getting damaged.
A home with a marble countertop can expect a higher resale value compared to one with an ordinary stone or concrete countertop.
