You get an amazing, unique appearance

There are lots of unique natural stones to choose from when designing your kitchen. Natural stone has lots of advantages for your kitchen countertops, and each material is slightly different. As well as stones like granite and quartz, marble is a very popular choice for kitchen countertops. Let’s look at some of the main reasons people choose marble for their kitchen countertops. 

One of the main draws of marble is its elegant, timeless appearance. Not only does it look great, but you also get a completely unique appearance for your countertops because each slab is slightly different. The color tones, patterns, and veinings vary from one piece of marble to the next, giving it that uniqueness. 

It’s heat resistant

You don’t have to worry about putting a hot plate or pan down on your marble countertops, because marble is completely heat resistant. This is a big advantage if you love to cook and bake a lot. In fact, marble is one of the best choices when it comes to heat-resistance. As a bonus, this also makes it a solid choice if you’re looking for a natural stone surround for your fireplace. 

It’s incredibly durable

Marble is an impressively durable material, meaning it is resistant against scratches and will last a long time in good condition. Although it takes a little more maintenance than granite countertops, it is still a great choice for its toughness. Just look at all the old buildings and statues made from marble as a testament to its durability. So, you don’t have to worry too much about scratches and chips if you accidentally drop something on your countertops. 

You can seal marble countertops for extra resilience

One downside to marble as a material in the kitchen is that it can be prone to staining and etching if acidic liquids are spilled on it. The good news is that this can be prevented effectively by sealing your countertops. Doing this fills the pores at the surface of the stone to prevent liquids from being absorbed so quickly. As long as you clean up spills quickly, your sealed marble countertops should be safe from stains.
