What are the advantages of the kitchen countertops?

Marble kitchen tops have always been the most elegant and refined solution, also considering its practicality and solidity over time and the fact that it adapts to any genre, whether it is a classic or modern kitchen. The marbles boast such a wide range of colors that there is plenty of choice. In addition to having many qualities such as being water resistant, you can choose between different finishes, the most common, also for a hygiene and cleanliness factor, are polish and honed. But also the satin and brushed finishes are widely used, especially in veined materials where they are able to highlight the “hollowed out” veins. In addition to an aesthetic factor, marble is a material that is easy and practical to clean and manages, unlike many other products obtained in an industrial way, to remain intact over time.

The most used marbles for the kitchen tops are Carrara, Calacatta, Arabescato, Statuario and Nero Marquina marble.

What are the flaws of marble kitchen countertops?

If we really have to find a flaw, before choosing which type of marble to use for your kitchen top, it is good that you know that marble, like all other natural materials, must be kept with care. It must be cleaned properly and it is best to avoid coming into contact with acidic foods such as lemon, vinegar, some spices or wine, to avoid any stains.

This is certainly not a valid reason not to choose marble, which certainly has the great beauty and harmony it creates in a kitchen in its favor.

Thanks to specific treatments performed a couple of times a year, this problem would not even arise because these treatments would create a kind of barrier, surface protection. For prevention, therefore, you should keep a specific anti-stain product for marble at home or apply a transparent water-repellent protective treatment on the surface to protect it, so as not to allow the marble to absorb.

Also not to be underestimated is the quality of installation of the underlying furniture, essential for creating total robustness. The grouting must then be done with neutral, transparent or color-matched silicone, hermetically sealed in the parts that are added one piece to the other. This sealing ensures that there are no water infiltrations and consequently, to keep the underlying furniture perfect over time, which would be damaged with water.

Choosing a granite countertop certainly requires less attention thanks to its great resistance to scratches, stains and its durability. The most used for kitchen countertops are Absolute Black and Sardinian White, otherwise if you are looking for something more elegant there are quartzites such as Black Fusion, Avocatus, Patagonia, Amazzonite and the Taj Mahal.

If you have enough space available in your kitchen and you want to make it modern, surely what cannot be missing is the custom-made marble kitchen island, which shows itself as a unique architectural work of its kind, which gives the impression of having a real block in the center of your kitchen.
