Marble kitchen countertop materials

You don’t often see marble slab used in kitchen countertops - marble tiles are more common. The problem with marble is that it is more prone to staining damage that other natural and synthetic countertop materials. Tile is more common because replacing a single tile is much easier than replacing an entire damaged slab. It all depends on how careful you are family members are when using a marble kitchen top.

But not all is lost with marble. If you are careful to minimize scratching, clean staining substances promptly, and regularly seal marble then you can avoid the discoloration normally associated with a marble kitchen countertop. Marble tiles are often chosen as an option because they can be replaced when damaged. Replacing one or two tiles over the lifetime of a kitchen countertop is not too burdensome.
