  1. Granite VS Marble

  2. Homeowners have many options when it comes to building materials for kitchens, baths, outdoor spaces, bars, and other rooms in the house. There are many factors to consider when looking at countertop options, including your specific needs and personal design and style tastes, as well as characteristics like strength, maintenance, price, and longevity.

  3. We’ve provided this comparison guide on granite versus marble to assist you as you’re making choices for your kitchen renovation projects.

  4. GRANITE PROS Granite is an ideal option for homeowners who are looking for strength and durability, with the timeless beauty of a natural building material. With proper maintenance, such as cleaning and regular application of a suitable sealant, it can handle normal wear and tear, and is resistant to scratches and stains. Granite countertops are also highly resilient when exposed to high heat, so it’s suitable for installation near the cooktop or in a bathroom where hair appliances are used.

  5. Granite is available in a wide array of colors and textures. Every slab is unique, appealing to those seeking a high-end, individual look.

  6. GRANITE CONS Some granite colors and styles may not suit the personal tastes of homeowners looking for a modern, contemporary look. Though granite is extremely tough, it is also porous: Application of a sealant is necessary to protect against stains, etching, and bacteria. Plus, cost may be an issue for a renovation budget.

  7. Granite ranks at the top with other natural building materials. In some cases, due to the weight of the material, special structures must be placed to support granite surfaces.

  8. MARBLE PROS If you’re looking for spectacular, sophisticated appeal, a marble countertop may be the right choice for you. It’s an igneous stone, meaning that it derives from solidified lava, so marble offers a stunning display of color – from classic neutrals to shades of rose, gold, gray, sage, black, and white. Marble is resistant to heat and stands up to pots and pans. Many homeowners often will install Marble around the fireplace due to its ability to not discolor over time.

  9. MARBLE CONS Marble is even more porous than granite and will absorb liquids, so oil, wine, juices, and acids will penetrate quickly. The stains can be difficult, if not impossible, to remove. Due to its porous nature, it is necessary to apply proper sealant upon installation and once every year or two.
