Frequently Asked Questions

Material Questions

What's the difference between marble, granite, and quartz?

Marble is a natural stone known for its elegant veining but requires more maintenance. Granite is extremely durable and heat-resistant, perfect for busy kitchens. Quartz is engineered stone that's non-porous, stain-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance.

Which material is best for my kitchen?

The best material depends on your lifestyle and preferences. If you want low maintenance, quartz is ideal. For a natural look with durability, choose granite. For luxury and elegance, marble is perfect but requires more care.

What are the advantages of quartz countertops?

Quartz countertops offer exceptional durability, stain resistance, and low maintenance. They're non-porous, making them hygienic and resistant to bacteria. Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, quartz is perfect for modern kitchens.

Can I use marble in my kitchen?

Yes, marble can be used in kitchens, but it requires more care than other materials. It's susceptible to staining and etching from acidic substances. Regular sealing and careful maintenance are essential for preserving its beauty.

How do I care for my countertops?

Daily cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient for most materials. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Natural stone countertops require periodic sealing.

How often should I seal my countertops?

Natural stone countertops should be sealed every 1-2 years, depending on usage. Quartz countertops don't require sealing.

What should I avoid using on my countertops?

Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or acidic substances like vinegar or lemon juice. Always use cutting boards and trivets to protect the surface from scratches and heat damage.
