Our team at Carolina Custom Countertops Cabinets and Flooring has extensive experience in kitchen renovations, and we want to help you get the best results from your project. If you are planning to remodel your kitchen, bathroom, or any other space where there are counters, you will need to choose the right material for your countertops. In this article, we will focus on our marble countertops, going over a few of their pros and cons to help you decide if they are right for you.
Pros:
- Luxury – One of the pros of marble countertops is the sense of luxury they provide. If you are looking for an option that will instantly make your kitchen or bathroom feel high-end, marble is a great choice.
- Value – Marble countertops are also a great option for increasing your home’s value. The material itself adds value, and marble’s luxurious appearance enhances that value even more.
- Temperature Control – If you plan to do a lot of baking or confectionary in your kitchen, then marble countertops can be a smart practical investment. Marble countertops help regulate the temperature of dough, or confections like ice cream or candy, preventing them from heating up or cooling down too quickly.
Cons:
- Prone to Scratches – One drawback of marble countertops is that they are prone to scratches and stains. It is possible to keep your marble counters pristine if you take care of them properly, but for some people the work required is not worth it.
- High Maintenance – Marble countertops can also be harder to clean than those made of other materials such as quartz or concrete. Some ingredients common in cleaning agents can degrade the marble over time, so you will need to use cleaning supplies specialized for use on marble.
