Granite vs Marble for Kitchen Countertops

Looking at marble versus Granite kitchen countertops is basic. Numerous need the simple upkeep of granite, yet incline toward the shading and color of marble.



What's more, justifiably so... marble can be completely flaw less. Which is the reason you see a lot of photographs web showcasing kitchen outlines with marble countertops.

Shockingly, a marble kitchen countertops can be hard to keep up.

Designers don't shy away from installing it. But I fear many aren't truly aware of marble characteristics, or are just sacrificing function to achieve the "look".

All things, sufficiently considered execution or useful contrasts exist in the middle of stone and marble to altogether effect your choice on which countertops material to introduce in a kitchen.

We encourage people to put the marble in their bathroom instead of the kitchen. 
Protection, care and 
cleaning of a granite countertop is so much easier than a marble kitchen countertop. 
  • Granite does not etch... (Well in rare instances it can, but for all intents and purposes... it does not).
  • Most granite countertops can be well-protected from staining with the easy application of a sealer like these recommended marble & granite sealers, however.....
  • Many granite countertop colors don't need sealing at all, since they are naturally dense and non-absorbent.
  • Granite does not scratch. It is much harder than marble. Marble kitchen countertops will get scratched.
  • Granite is the most heat-tolerant of any countertop material. Virtually impossible to damage from hot pans.

A granite countertop is essentially more sturdy and less bother to clean and keep up than a marble countertops and that is the thing that you need in a kitchen.

A marble bathroom counter-tops is once in a while an issue.

Surely marble and granite present distinctive looks or styles and in a few occasions the look is the most important element. However, in specific regions of the home, similar to the kitchen countertops, function is a great deal more vital.

Even people who love wall-to-wall carpet would probably choose not to put carpet in a bathroom.... just doesn't make much sense when you have far better choices.

And given that you have 200+ colors of granite to choose from you should be able to find a few choices that will satisfy your style requirements without sacrificing function.

Why Choose Granite Kitchen Countertops

Why Choose Granite Kitchen Countertops?

The Benefits of Choosing Granite Countertops for Your Home

As building construction has evolved over the last century and the extraction and movement of the natural stone has become easier, granite has emerged as a popular home countertop material.
Attractive
Granite has a natural beauty that cannot be replicated by man. Granite is formed over millions of years from the cohesion of magma combined with varied minerals. Granite is just one of several types of attractive stone, but it has definitely developed a reputation for having a highly alluring appeal.
Affordable
Granite is one of the most bountiful materials found in the earth’s continental crust. A sizable uptick in the demand for granite over the past three decades has been matched by a boost in supply making granite much more affordable than the stone was 30 years ago. In comparison with marble and a handful of other stone types, granite is also a cost-effective countertop option.
Durable
The lack of repair needed on many breathtaking structures created with granite and exposed to the elements for thousands of years is a testament to the stone’s amazing durability. Polished and sealed, granite slabs used in a home kitchen or bathroom are not exposed to the harsh elements of nature. In addition to being impenetrably hard and heat resistant, modern granite countertops are fairly stain resistant.
Low-Maintenance
Caring for granite countertops quite easy. A daily wipe-down with a mild soap solution may take a couple minutes of your time, but aside from an annual application of sealant, a wipe down is all that’s necessary to keep your granite countertops looking gorgeous and new.
