Natural Stone Countertops Marble Countertops
Marble is an extremely versatile material that is prized for its beauty and durability on many different surfaces. It does however, require a modest amount of care to protect it against staining, scratching and loss of surface polish. Many Utah marble countertops are built for bathrooms due to its beauty.
Considered by many to be the height of elegance, marble generally will last longer than most kitchen countertops. It is, however, expensive and requires some care: acidic foods such as orange juice will etch the finished surface of a marble kitchen countertop.
Marble consists chiefly of calcite or dolomite, or a combination of these carbonate minerals, and is a type of metamorphic rock formed from limestone. Marble is found in many countries, including Belgium, France, Great Britain, Greece, India, Italy, and Spain.
