Marble Countertop Pros and Cons

Strength and damage

Created over millions of years under extreme pressure, natural stones like marble and granite are exceptionally strong and long-lasting. It does not mean that this material is indestructible. It needs to be handled carefully during installation to avoid cracking or breakage.

Resistance and porosity

Marble is heat-resistant, which is a big pro for using it for kitchen counters or even a fireplace and bathroom countertops as well. Being a natural stone - marble and granite both absorb liquids like water, oil, wine and more leading to staining. This can be avoided with The Quarry Densification process that reduces the porosity of the slab. The Quarry Bacto Finish also makes our slabs resistant to the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Colours and care

We all know that natural stones are available in stunning colours like rose, yellow, grey, green, blue, white, black and more. The Quarry Gallery displays a breath-taking range of marble, granite and rare onyx in over 33 colours. The porosity of each marble and granite varies. So when it comes to choosing a marble for your countertops, make sure you consult an expert to check if the stone fits into your application. Our knowledgeable curators at The Quarry, will take you on a detailed journey regarding our exquisite stones and their strength and porosity.

As you can see, we have recommended marble and granite for countertop application and this might make you wonder which one is an ideal option.

The easiest way to find the difference between marble and granite is primarily their visual impact. Marble has a homogeneous surface, with more or less thin veins that can vary in colour and intensity, while granite can be recognised by its dense grain composition.

Simply put, granite is more intense in its colours and veins when compared to marble. Granite's superior hardness and durable nature make it a suitable choice for kitchen countertops, bar counters or even granite floors. Granite kitchen counters will show minimal scuffing or discolouration from everyday household activities.
