Pros of Marble Countertops
- Marble provides a timeless beauty in its white tones that cannot be duplicated by granite.
- A natural stone that does not conduct heat well, marble tends to stay cool for specialized food preparations like pastries and chocolate tempering.
- Certain types of marble, such as Carrara, are some of the least costly natural stone countertops available.
- Marble is a widely available substance that can be found easily in most stone yards.
Cons of Marble Countertops
- The surface of a marble countertop is very prone to scratches from sharp objects or dulling from acidic items, such as a lemon wedge. It’s important to take great care when working with marble countertops.
- It is also very easy to stain marble with wines or juices.
- Over time, the wear of scratches and stains can cause the marble to lose its glossy luster, so if you want a countertop that keeps its shine, marble may not be the answer.
