- As the favorite medium for Greek and Roman sculptors and architects, marble has become a cultural symbol of tradition and refined taste in home applications.
- For that sleek and clean look, marble is a great substitute for granite, used for countertops in a kitchen or a master bathroom.
- There are several different colors of marble. Some of the more popular ones are White Carrera, Botticino, Calcutta Gold, White Cherokee and Empodora. Color variations are the result of the elements that were present when the stone was formed.
- Marble is considered more porous than granite so a little extra care and maintenance is involved but for many homeowners, the beauty and look of marble negates the issue of upkeep.
soapstone
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock and a very unique and beautiful choice for a countertop. Soapstone is largely composed of the mineral talc and is thus rich in magnesium. This countertop material is desired by many homeowners for its beautiful rich color and smooth texture.
- Soapstone is siliceous, meaning it is unaffected and unharmed by acids contained in everyday items like wine, lemons, or vinegar.
- Soapstone is heat resistant. Stop worrying about setting a hot pot of noodles down on the countertop.
- Soapstone won’t scorch or burn.
- It is best to treat Soapstone every 6 months with a special mineral oil to enhance the natural darkening process all soapstone goes through.
- Cleaning a Soapstone countertop is simple and can be done with any ordinary household cleaners. Be sure to avoid cleaners containing grit or elements which could create scratches.
