A marble countertop can be the crowning jewel of a chef’s kitchen. It’s a fantastic surface that has many unique benefits, but it’s a better choice for some than others. When you’re deciding what type of custom countertops to get, you should determine whether marble is the right choice for you. Here are some of the benefits of a marble countertop installation.

The Best Qualities of a Marble Countertop

1. Classic Aesthetic

Marble has a unique appearance and timeless beauty. Its bright white appearance with a one-of-a-kind colored marbling can’t be recreated with any other stone or artificial product. It also has a reputation for aging well; as it’s loved and used over time, it just gets more beautiful. 

2. Working Surface

Marble is a popular choice for avid cooks because it is a durable stone that is always cool to the touch. The surface is ideal for working with pastry. However, it can scratch easily and will need to be sealed to avoid staining. Even though marble is a great working surface, you need to take proper care of it and use a cutting board.

3. Reasonable Investment

The price of marble will vary greatly, depending on the type you choose; some materials, like Carrara, can be quite affordable and last a lifetime. It’s a great choice for those who wish to make an investment in their kitchen that can be enjoyed for many years.
