Can I use marble for my kitchen counters?
Answer
Yes, Bianco Carrera is an especially popular look amongst designers right now, but all marbles have very different performance characteristics from Granite and Quartz. Marble is much softer and more absorbent. On Moh’s hardness scale, marble is a 3-4, Granite is 6-8 and Diamonds are 10).
So, certain fluids; lemon juice, tomato juice, vinegar, etc, will etch the surface. This will create a patina, or ‘old world’ look that appeals to some clients, but would drive others crazy. Please visit our showroom for examples.
