Luxuriously carved, marble adds a touch of class to any space. Beautifully cut from traditionally mined limestone, it is an extremely hardwearing material that provides the perfect countertop or surface for the living and dining spaces.
Marble’s smooth surface and variety of hues and patterns make it amazing choice for a broad spectrum of aesthetics. It’s also a simple way to give a space a dash of glitz and sophistication. Marble’s mineral impurities cause colour variations, and the stone’s striking veining is one of its most defining characteristics.
If properly maintained, marble is a timeless and traditional option for any kitchen worktop,
It is a common metamorphic rock found all over the world that comes in a variety of colours, tones, patterns, and textures, making it an excellent stone to work with. As marble is a porous natural stone and more likely to discolour than granite or quartz, marble countertops require more upkeep than their equivalents in these materials.
Maintenance
It is advisable that Marble surfaces are regularly cleaned with soapy water or mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth. Then surface should be rinsed with clean water and polished with a soft cloth for a nice and shiny look.
Marble Maintainace Kits are readily available off the shelf. We recommend resealing your worktops every 6 months .
Cleaning detergents containing bleach , chlorine, hard chemicles, acids, alkalis or concentrated disinfectants could cause damage and should not be used on marble surfaces. If any of these come into contact with the stone, they have to be cleaned/ rinsed off immediately, in order to avoid potential damage and discolouration.
Standing and sitting as well as putting pressure / heavy weights on the worktop surface can cause damage and should be avoided at all times. Extra caution must be taken with the areas , where the joints and cut outs are positioned ( around the sink, hob, etc)
Marble is a natural stone and it is heat resistant up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While extended contact with high temperatures can still cause some damage, a well maintained countertop should not be affected by an occasional hot item or short-term exposure to high temperatures. Please take pre-caution if the worktop is exposed to very high temperature for prolonged period of time. It is recommended to always use chopping boards and never cut directly onto the stone surfaces.
Over time, natural stone surfaces (marble and granite) may begin to weather and naturally loose their initial appearance. We highly recommend resealing your worktops every 6months, which should also prevent any potential staining.
