Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from recrystallized calcite, dolomite or other carbonate minerals and known for its luxurious, veined appearance. Since ancient times, marble has been used to create statues, tiles and interiors for royalty and the wealthy. Today, however, modern technology and techniques make it possible for almost any homeowner to enjoy beautiful, luxurious marble countertops.

Considerations for Marble Over Other Stone Slab Materials:
Marble has been used for millennia because of its beauty and durability. No other natural stone can provide the bright white and unique veining patterns that marbles can provide. Even engineered quartz in marble patterns cannot replicate the natural character and beauty of marble.
When you’re choosing marble countertops, there are some considerations. Although marble is a sturdy stone, it is more porous and softer than some other countertop materials. For this reason, you may need to take added precautions against chips, cuts and stains. If you love the look of marble but worry about your kitchen or bathroom counter being damaged, talk to the team at Atlantic Custom Granite & Marble about sealing your surfaces and taking steps to protect your investment.
Additional Benefits
- Stunning appearance: The veined, smooth look of marble looks elegant and sophisticated. With this material's array of colors, you can customize your counters with pink, white, black, grey, green, yellow or white stone. And since marble is naturally occurring, your countertops will be truly unique in terms of hue and vein pattern.
- Resistance to heat damage: Marble is highly heat-resistant, meaning it can stand up to hot pans in the kitchen or a curling iron in the bathroom.
- Long lifespan: With proper care, marble can last for many years and still look incredible.
