Find answers to commonly asked customer questions about this countertop material
Q: What are marble countertops made of?
A: Marble countertops are made from natural metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to high heat and pressure. This process recrystallizes the limestone into marble, which has a distinctive veined appearance.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Do marble countertops require sealing?
A: Yes, marble countertops are porous and should be sealed to protect against stains and spills. It is recommended to seal marble countertops every 6-12 months, depending on usage and the type of sealer used.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do marble countertops compare to granite countertops?
A: Marble is softer and more porous than granite, making it more susceptible to scratching, staining, and etching. Granite is harder, more durable, and requires less maintenance. Marble, however, offers a unique, elegant look with its veined patterns.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can marble countertops withstand heat?
A: Marble countertops are heat-resistant but not as much as granite or quartzite. While they can handle moderate heat, placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface is not recommended, as it can cause discoloration or damage. Always use trivets or hot pads.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: What should I do if my marble countertop chips or cracks?
A: Marble can chip or crack under heavy impact. Small chips can often be repaired with epoxy or resin. For larger cracks or significant damage, it is best to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are marble countertops scratch-resistant?
A: No, marble is softer and more prone to scratching compared to harder stones like granite and quartzite. Using cutting boards is essential to prevent scratches and protect the surface.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How should I clean and maintain marble countertops?
A: Clean marble countertops with a pH-neutral cleaner or mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stone. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can marble countertops be used outdoors?
A: Marble is not ideal for outdoor use due to its susceptibility to weathering and staining from exposure to the elements. Prolonged exposure to sun, rain, and temperature changes can degrade the surface over time.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do marble countertops compare to quartz countertops?
A: Marble offers a classic, elegant appearance with its unique veining, but it requires more maintenance and care due to its softness and porosity. Quartz countertops are more durable, non-porous, and require less maintenance, making them more practical for high-traffic areas.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are marble countertops environmentally friendly?
A: Marble countertops are made from natural stone, which is environmentally friendly. However, the quarrying process can have environmental impacts. Choosing locally sourced marble can reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
