MARBLE V/S GRANITE

 Marble v/s Granite Granite vs marble: a quick look

We know you didn’t come here for a geology lesson, but let’s start with this question nevertheless. What happens when magma crystallizes underneath Earth’s surface? That’s right, granite.
Obviously, the slabs that turn kitchens into productive workspaces are a few steps removed from that stage, though. Let’s have a moment for a few quick granite takeaways. Then, it’s on to marble.

Now, as we said before, which one is “better” when considering marble vs granite countertops, is relative. Here are three things to keep in mind when weighing these two natural stone options. First, consider any logistical needs you have for your counter. Second, know what kind of budget you have available. And, third, ask yourself what your personal design and visual preferences are.  

Durability

When it comes to durability, granite may edge out marble. But keep in mind that granite may still need to be sealed (and marble may, too). Though stains and etches are things to consider with both options, a marble countertop may be more susceptible.

Take stock of your budget

Next, ask yourself how much you’re looking to spend on the project. Is it a massive spare-no-expense kitchen renovation that’s been years in the making? Or is it a “let’s see how low we can keep cost and still have a great new kitchen” type of project?
What kind of budget you’re dealing with could help you out when it comes to the granite vs marble question. You may find granite to be less expensive than marble. Thus, comparison shopping between the two could help take away some of the difficulty of deciding.

Hard to decide?

If you’re struggling to nail down your preferences when it comes to marble vs granite counters (or any other materials you’re mulling over), consider roping someone else in on the process. Perhaps other family members will also be spending a lot of time in this area. Then, figure out what they think. They could have preferences that will help you narrow it down.
If it looks like no help is to be had from the family, consider asking a friend or acquaintance with experience in interior design. Or simply someone whose kitchen style you happen to love. Ask why they chose the countertop they did.

Enjoy living with the new look

As you work on choosing marble vs granite countertops, be clear with yourself (and your countertop specialist) about what it is you’re looking for in a countertop. And once your lovely kitchen remake is finished, don’t forget to launch your new cook space off on the right foot — perhaps with a delicious homemade dinner or a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
