Natural Marble
Marble countertops are a beautiful solution for countertops - its difficult to match the natural beauty and character of the material. Below is a brief walk-through of what to expect with this countertop surface.
What to expect?
Marbles are made up primarily of calcite crystal. Due to their mineralogical makeup, all marbles are vulnerable to either abrasion or chemical attack
Lemon juice, tomatoes, vinegar and any other acidic solutions will etch the surface, removing the polish of the stone
Although red wine is the most commonly feared liquid near a kitchen, foods that have both acidic and oily qualities are usually more harmful because the oil acts as a carrier into the stone. Salad dressings and marinades are common culprits
Scratching could occur from common kitchen utensils
Marble countertops will reflect the character of the family and change to tell the story of the family using them: they will etch, bruise, chip, stain, scratch and more over time. (We think this adds character!)
Marble countertops may only look new for a few minutes after the install in complete. It does not take excessive force or neglect to damage marble countertops. They will wear, age and distress with normal and everyday use
