Marble Kitchen Countertops
A marble kitchen countertop is one of the most sought after countertop materials that is around today and it has been so for many years. Marble countertops will add a definite touch of class and beauty that is by nature marble. Available in different colors and hues marble ranges in color from yellows and greens to the black and white which is most common.
Marble counter tops are a metamorphic rock in the limestone family. Over time limestone changes to slate under incredible heat and pressure and then further changes to marble when left under even higher amounts of heat and pressure. Marble is found in quarries around the world and can be sculpted to any shape which could be a benefit if you are trying to blend with a decorative piece.
Caring for Marble
If you really have your heart set on marble then you will need to make sure that you look after it really well. Using a sealer is an absolute must, also be quick in wiping up any spills, particularly wine and fruit juice. Otherwise you can end up with permanent surface etching. Be careful with what you clean marble with as using abrasives and caustic cleaners will cause damage. Also never rub with oil or wax.
The most durable form of marble is one which is "honed". This means that it hasn't been polished so has no shine and can be scrubbed using abrasives, beach and soap.
