About Marble Countertops
Marble is one of the oldest natural stones quarried, carved, and used to create some of the most beautiful buildings and works of art throughout history. From Michelangelo in Italy to Praxiteles in Greece, marble has always been coveted as the stone of the gods and has been used by many great empires for their marvelous constructions. While marble was explicitly reserved for the rich and privileged decades ago, today, it is easily accessible for any family that desires to bring an air of astonishment to their living quarters.
Marble takes millions of years to be formed in nature. It takes tremendous amounts of pressure and heat to create marble, and this process creates impurities in the stone, which gives its unique patterns. That is why no marble slab looks the same as the other. The color range for genuine marble can also be very extensive, with choices ranging from white marble, grey marble, black marble, red marble, purple marble, and many more.
While not as durable as its other natural stone counterparts, marble is highly coveted thanks to the elusive and sophisticated looks it brings to our living quarters. Due to their less durable nature, marble countertops must be diligently taken care of. They are prone to discoloration and must not be in direct contact with heat, chemicals, and acidic substances whenever possible. They are also prone to scratches and require attention in this matter. Remember, the same reason that allowed marble to be carved into beautiful statues and artworks is its susceptibility to damages. As with everything sophisticated and beautiful, marble must be cared for with utmost importance as it is a luxurious material.
Whether it’s your kitchen countertops, bathroom countertops, laundry room, the top of your radiators, or your fireplace, you can use marble for any place of your choice. With our diverse spectrum of color and pattern options, years of experience in the kitchen design industry here at Hillside Kitchens, we will ensure that you choose the right marble countertops for your dream home.
