Marble adds a touch of luxury and elegance, making it perfect for those who value aesthetics over practicality.
Marble is a luxurious and timeless worktop material that enhances any room with its distinctive colours and patterns. With proper care, marble surfaces can provide beauty and elegance for years to come.
Marble is a wholly natural material, with each piece showcasing unique colours and patterns. This historic building and decorative stone is renowned for its classic elegance and luxurious appeal.
Marble used for worktops is extracted from the earth’s crust, cut to size, and then its surface and edges are meticulously finished.
Although marble is a softer material compared to granite, its decorative qualities, variety of patterns and colours, and warmer, cosier shades make it popular for use as floor and wall tiles, window sills, and fireplace finishes. However, it is not recommended to use polished marble on the floors of high-traffic areas.
Preference should be given to a stone with a matte surface because, in high-traffic areas, polished marble can wear out and lose its luster over time. Marble is not recommended for kitchen countertops because it is relatively porous and soft. This makes it prone to stains and scratches. However, a high-polished marble surface will remain beautiful for decades on walls, floors, bathrooms, or as a splashback tile!
Since marble scratches and stains easily, regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and durability of marble worktops. The softness and porosity of marble require diligent care to maintain the beautiful appearance of the worktops.
