Pros and Cons of Installing a Marble Kitchen Top

You do not spend a big part of our day in the kitchen, generally. However, if you have a not-so-good looking kitchen, it can take away the beauty of your entire home and dampen the look. If you have an open kitchen, the importance of counter top increases significantly. Counter tops plays an important role in determining the aesthetics of a kitchen.

A counter top should be hard and resistant to heat and acidic materials on one hand and should have a naturally good looking effect that can give an appearance of more space and beauty to your kitchen. Marble is an excellent choice, when it comes to choosing a counter top. The soft and shiny top reflects light and makes the room look more airy and spacious.

Advantages: The primary advantage of marble counter top is that it is naturally very beautiful. The material finish is enough to mesmerise anyone. Secondly marble is quite heat resistant, which makes it an ideal choice for people who bake a lot. Moreover, marble does not cost as high as many expensive varieties of China stones. While there are some expensive options of China marble available too, the normal ones do not pinch the pocket too much.

Disadvantages: Marble, unlike China granite in extremely porous, which means it, absorbs all types of liquids very easily. So be very careful while dealing with alcohol, vinegar, lemons and juices from certain fruits which can leave a permanent mark on your countertop. However, once your countertops are sealed, the danger can be

avoided for a few years. Moreover, marble is a soft rock. So if you are dealing with extremely heavy utensils or appliance over the kitchen counter top, it is not unusual for the marble to chip or even break.

However, if you can afford to be a little careful about your countertops, it is difficult to find something that can rival with marble and match its appearance.
