FAQs

The best types of marble for kitchen countertops include Carrara, Calacatta, and Statuario. Each type of marble has unique characteristics, so the best choice depends on your design preference and budget.

To maintain marble countertops, regularly clean with a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners to prevent etching. Use coasters, cutting boards, and trivets to protect the surface from scratches and heat. Seal the marble every 6-12 months to protect against stains and moisture. Wipe spills immediately to prevent discoloration, especially from acidic substances like wine, lemon juice, or vinegar.

Yes, marble is an excellent choice for bathroom countertops and floors. Its natural beauty and water resistance make it ideal for creating a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere. Marble bathroom vanities, marble shower walls, and marble floors offer durability and elegance. However, since bathrooms have higher moisture levels, regular sealing is important to protect the marble from water stains and etching. Granite Mart has completed many stunning marble bathroom projects, showcasing how versatile and beautiful this stone can be in wet environments.

Granite is more durable and resistant to scratches and stains, making it a better choice for high-traffic areas. Marble offers a luxurious look but requires more maintenance to avoid etching and staining. If you prioritize durability, choose granite; if you want elegance and are willing to maintain it, go for marble.

Yes, marble can be used in outdoor spaces like patios, garden pathways, and outdoor kitchens, but it requires proper care and maintenance. Marble is naturally weather-resistant, but outdoor conditions such as rain, UV rays, and temperature changes can affect its surface over time. Regular sealing will help protect it from the elements. Light-coloured marble like Thassos is often recommended for outdoor use, as it reflects sunlight and stays cooler. Granite Mart can provide expert installation of marble in outdoor spaces for a cohesive, elegant look.

The cost of installing marble countertops varies depending on several factors such as the type of marble, the size of the area, and the complexity of the installation. Rarer marbles like Calacatta or Statuario will be on the higher end of the spectrum. Additional costs may include edging, sealing, and labor. Granite Mart provides custom quotes based on your specific project requirements.

Marble is a durable and long-lasting material for flooring, but it requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition. It’s a hard stone that can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for living rooms, bathrooms, and even commercial spaces. However, it is also softer than materials like granite, making it prone to scratches and chips if not handled carefully. Sealing marble floors helps protect them from moisture and stains, making them a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor use.

Your bathroom marble may be turning yellow due to iron oxidation, where natural iron in the marble reacts with moisture, causing discoloration. Improper cleaning products, such as acidic or harsh cleaners, can also damage the surface, leading to yellowing. Additionally, wax or sealer build-up and prolonged exposure to moisture without proper sealing can cause the marble to yellow. Regular use of pH-neutral cleaners and sealing the marble can help prevent this issue.

To clean marble floors and countertops: Use a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap with water for everyday cleaning. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon, as they can etch the surface. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent stains, especially from wine, coffee, or oil. For deep cleaning, use a stone-safe cleaner with a soft cloth or mop. Regularly seal the marble to protect against stains and damage. Granite Mart offers consultation services regarding cleaning and maintenance to help you keep your marble surfaces looking beautiful.

Yes, marble is a great choice for kitchen worktops if you’re looking for a luxurious, timeless material. Marble is heat-resistant and naturally cool, making it perfect for baking and cooking. However, it is softer than granite and more prone to scratches and stains, so regular sealing and proper care are essential.

The most popular marble colours for kitchen worktops are: White Marble: Timeless options like Carrara and Calacatta. Grey Marble: Modern shades such as Pietra Grey. Black Marble: Luxurious choices like Nero Marquina with white veining. Beige Marble: Warm, neutral tones for a cozy atmosphere.
