Whether it's the kitchen or bathroom, if you're planning a remodel, choosing which countertop material to use is one of the most critical decisions. Not only does it serve as your main working surface, but it's also often a central focal point for the room. If you're seeking something naturally elegant and durable, ask your remodeling contractors about marble. To learn why it's such a great material, here's what you should know. 

What Are the Advantages of Marble Countertops?

1. Easy Baking

If you love baking, you need a marble countertop. The material has a fantastic ability to stay cool; if you've ever tried working with dough on other types of countertops, then you know it tends to stick unless you use significant amounts of flour. If you make bread and pizzas or are eager to try your hand at them, having a remodeling contractor install a marble countertop will make the process much easier for you.

2. Timeless Design

Finally, marble has a classic aesthetic that works in a variety of interior decorating styles from Mid-Century Modern to Hollywood Regency. Furthermore, its natural brightness pairs well with different metal finishes, such as brass or oil-rubbed bronze. As a bonus, this kind of versatility is particularly useful for those who are renovating and intend to sell. Note, because it's a natural stone, its veining may affect its adaptability. If you have a specific idea in mind and prefer something with more or less veining, let your remodeling contractors know. 

3. Longevity

Despite its reputation for requiring a bit more maintenance than granite or quartz, marble is one of the most enduring materials. For centuries, it has been used in construction and art, like the Taj Mahal. While you should still wipe up spills ASAP to avoid staining and reseal it regularly, it can handle the normal wear and tear.
