Making a Marble Decision: What to Consider
When some homeowners think of marble, they think of expensive white stone that may be a challenge to maintain. In reality, though, marble is a natural stone that is diverse in function, color and cost. Like granite, marble can make beautiful kitchen or bathroom countertops, but similarities between the stones end there. In the video below, learn more about the unique properties of marble and what to consider when selecting a slab of your own.
If you are choosing marble or deciding between marble or granite, there are a few things to consider. While both natural stones come in a variety of colors, the appearance of granite is usually of a salt and pepper variety, with many flecks in the stone. The appearance of marble, on the other hand, is characterized by patterns of veining and smaller crystalline structures. When choosing a marble, work closely with your manufacturer to get the particular pattern, color and veining you want. View the exact slab you intend to purchase in order to ensure a complementary fit with your color scheme and other design choices.
