Countertop Comparisons

When comparing different countertop materials, we recommend weighing the pros and cons of each. Like granite, marble is made of natural, genuine stone. Each slab is unique, especially in terms of the beautifully colored veining throughout the material. Marble comes in many different colors, so there are endless options and patterns to suit your design style.
Marble is more porous than quartz or granite, so it requires a quality sealer to reduce stains and etching. Plus, the minerals that comprise marble are sensitive to certain chemical agents, so spills must be cleaned immediately. Still, marble also ages beautifully, creating an elegant patina.
