Connecticut Marble Countertops & Stone
Is there anything more luxurious than marble?
Marble forms when limestone is put under intense heat and pressure. And because it’s a naturally occurring stone, every slab is unique. If you’re looking for a high-class look (without the high-class price), our marble could be a perfect fit for your next project.
Advantages of Choosing Marble
Elegance galore. The glamorous look is probably our favorite thing about marble, but there’s many more reasons to use marble in your home:
- Classic beauty — Mother nature has done her job well. The heat and pressure that helps create marble also creates the unique veining it’s famous for. Marble’s veining and wild swirls of color set it apart from every other stone on the market.
- Variety — Speaking of color–granite gets all the credit for hitting every shade on the spectrum, but marble’s not doing such a bad job either. It comes in blue, black, pink, gray, brown, green, and violet. But let’s not forget–marble is most renowned for its stunning whites, whether pure or veined with other colors. You won’t find such beautiful whites in any other type of stone.
- Precision — The devil is in the details. Because marble is softer than granite, it’s a perfect fit for those intricate designs you need done just right. If you have highly detailed design specs for your next stone project, marble’s the one for you.
- Heat-resistant — Just like granite, your marble countertops aren’t afraid of a little heat. Hot pans or hair care tools won’t be a problem with marble.
- Naturally cool surface — Not only is it heat resistant, but marble also has a naturally cool surface. Marble’s not good for conducting heat, which is great news for you and your hot kitchen in the summer.
- Durable — Just like granite, marble is a porous stone that requires sealant. Once sealed, your marble will be stain- and scratch-resistant.
Marble: The Right Stone for Your Next Project?
Marble is best used in the bathroom, and that includes vanities, countertops, shower walls, tubs, and flooring. You can also use marble for vases, columns, fireplaces mantels, backsplashes, lawn ornaments, or statuary.
Maintenance with marble is simple. Wash it regularly with your dish towel as you would any other countertop, clean up any spills immediately, and be sure to have it resealed at least twice a year.
You can use polishing sealant to leave it looking shiny, or regular marble sealant to maintain its naturally matte surface. You’ll be able to reseal your marble on your own, or you can give us a call and have us do it for you. Either way, it’s a simple process and won’t take long at all.
