Reasons To Install A Marble Benchtop

So many materials are available for kitchen benchtops that it can be hard to narrow down your selections. One option is marble; here are several reasons to consider this natural rock.

Variety Of Colours And Patterns

Marble varies widely in terms of colours and patterns. Black, white, pink, gold and blue are among the many hues arising from the particular mineral content within a slab, which depends on its place of origin. You can either install a relatively evenly toned marble or one with striking veining and patterns. Whether you're looking for a subtle countertop or a statement countertop, marble will provide numerous possibilities.

Organic Feel

Some benchtops evoke a feeling that they've come off the factory floor, such as some laminate and engineered counters. The natural origin of marble's beauty is unmistakeable. This isn't to say you can't combine marble with manufactured materials. The reverse is actually true: incorporating contrasting marble enlivens decor and prevents a processed feel. In addition, each piece of marble is unique, so your benchtop will have its own signature look. 

Versatility

Whether your kitchen is country-style or contemporary, you'll be able to find a piece of marble to harmonise with the decor. You can combine marble with various other materials such as timber, ceramic, steel, glass and laminate. Thus, devising a kitchen design around a marble benchtop will provide plenty of design options.

Additionally, you can install marble in other areas of the home to add a sense of cohesion. Even people entering your home for the first time will notice what materials are featured in various rooms. Incorporate marble in the bathroom as a counter or a splashback or in other places, such as around a fireplace in a living room, for instance. 

Durability

Once you install a marble counter, it should last for many years. Seal your benchtop regularly to protect it against spills and food stains; sealants soak into the porous holes, preventing other elements from entering the stone. Wipe up acidic foods and drinks promptly to care for your artistic natural wonder.

If you want to incorporate organic beauty and durability, marble stone benchtops are an ideal option. You'll have a variety of hues and patterns to choose from, providing the freedom to match the various elements in the kitchen decor. Your new benchtop will not only be unique but will likely last for decades. Reach out to marble stone benchtop suppliers today to learn more.
