Pros of Marble Countertops
- Beauty – If you are looking for something that offers natural elegance and beauty, you can’t go wrong with marble countertops. Marble is famed for its beautiful colors and patterns, and we are confident that you will find an option you will love.
- Longevity – Another benefit of marble countertops is that they will last a long time. As long as you continue to maintain and seal them as necessary, you can continue to enjoy your marble countertops.
- Value – Marble countertops are such a popular feature in home design that adding them to your home can help attract future buyers and even increase your home’s value.
Cons of Marble Countertops
- Vulnerability – One potential drawback of marble countertops is that they are naturally porous and therefore vulnerable to stains. However, you can usually protect your counters from stains by getting them re-sealed every year.
- Scratch Prone – Similarly, marble counters are more susceptible to scratching and etching than those made of other materials.
- Cost – Another downside of marble counters is that they are typically more expensive than granite or other options. While many find the extra cost worth it, others do not.
