Get a Marble Look Without All the Maintenance

Last Updated on April 15, 2022

For centuries, marble has been revered as one of the world’s most luxurious stone materials. It has graced countless buildings and was the preferred medium for many famous sculptors. Today, marble is more popular than ever among homeowners who are embracing its old-world style and designing their homes with the inclusion of marble kitchen countertops.

But depending on the needs of your household, marble may not be the best choice for your countertops. Don’t worry, though. You can still achieve the timeless look of marble without investing in marble itself.

Why true marble may not be the ideal solution

In its natural state, marble is rather delicate and requires a fair amount of maintenance. Marble is naturally porous and can stain, chip or crack easily. If you spend a significant amount of time working in your kitchen or you have young children, a marble countertop will be more prone to damage.

Additionally, natural marble requires sealing every year to prevent any kind of permanent staining or damage. To further protect the surface, you should only use non-abrasive cleaning products. While this step may not seem daunting at first, if you don’t typically use non-abrasive cleaning solutions in your home, cleaning marble will require a definite learning curve.

None of these are dealbreakers, as the beauty of marble has historically drawn people to it. But what if you could achieve the same sophisticated appearance as marble without all of its drawbacks?

Thanks to modern technology, you can have the best of both worlds. There are newer countertop options that capture the glamor and beauty of natural marble, while making it more durable to stand up to today’s busy lifestyles.
