Ahhhh marble counter tops... Perhaps more than any other stone, marble evokes images of sophisticated extravagance. Once found only in the homes of the wealthy, marble is now a much more accessible luxury due to improved technology and availability.

Etching destroys the polish leaving a dull, light spot. You'll get these dull spots all over with marble in the kitchen. Also, marble is softer and more prone to scratching than granite.
Polished marble is very stain resistant, but still not good for kitchens due to etching. Sealing does not prevent etching.
Love to bake? One exception to the "rule" stated above is if you are a serious baker.
A marble slab is "the" countertop of choice for making dough--that is pies and bread, not money! Although it may feel like you're making money on such a luxurious countertop.
Natural Beauty. So if you love the look of marble counter tops and want to use it in your kitchen, choose the honed finish and always use coasters, cutting boards and trivets to protect against scratches.
Marble Care. You'll find more information about marble care and how to avoid expensive marble restoration at marble counter top care. Also, it's worth noting that marble is traditionally left to age naturally letting friends and family rub "life" into the stone--stains and all.
Natural Aging. Over the years the marble will absorb stains, the patina will change and the stone will begin to reflect the essential character of your home. This is especially true of marble tile floors, which become more beautiful with age and use.
It's hard to resist the quintessential beauty and the feelings of warm opulence that marble conveys to any room. Marble counter tops and marble flooring will add immeasurable value and years of pleasure to your home.
More Ideas. Also, consider using this natural stone for marble bathroom vanities, tile flooring, a marble fireplace, tub decks and marble shower surrounds.
Are you trying to make the best decision about your marble counter tops? Have a particular burning question or even just a casual curiosity about the qualities and characteristics of marble counter tops? Need an answer?
