Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite.

The subtle sheen of marble countertops evokes an air of elegance that can add a timeless vibe to any home. Luxurious luminous marble adds a crisp glow.

Marble has a natural elegance and beauty. Since every slab is unique, there is variety of colors of marble countertops including solid white, solid black and a range of variety colors.

Marble Counters are heat resistant. A marble countertop will not burn, melt, or catch fire, although it’s still a good idea to use a trivet and avoid placing hot pans on the surface to prevent damage to the finish. 

Marble is a very durable stone. Despite the fact that some marbles aren’t as hard as granite, it does not mean that marble is not a durable stone. Marble has been used as a building material for centuries due to its combination of strength and beauty. There are a few types of marble that are considered to be “hard” marble.  These marbles are almost as hard as granite and are less like to scratch than softer marbles.
