If you are looking for a thing of beauty for your kitchen or bathroom, look no further than countertops made from marble. While granite continues to dominate and quartz is increasing in popularity in cities such as Minneapolis and Plymouth, nothing can truly compete with the sheer beauty and glamour of marble. Countertops made from this material are in a league of their own.

Why Choose Marble?

Marble is not the hardest of materials. It ages over time and is susceptible to etching. However, a kitchen marble countertop or bathroom vanity is classic and aesthetically pleasing. This is one of the main reasons people choose to install marble countertops in their homes.

There are other positives.

  • While marble ages, it does not become washed out. Instead, it develops a warm and softly glowing patina
  • The slab of each marble is unique in color, shape, pattern and depth. The veins which imbue marble with its inimitable characteristics will make your countertop one-of-a-kind
  • Marble is heat resistant – more so than even Quartz

While marble may not be as practical or functional as other materials are, it is a material rich with heritage and a natural stone of unapparelled beauty.

Classic, Refined Marble

Companies continue to engineer products that resemble marble. They strife to recreate the classic beauty of this natural stone. Imitation may be very flattering, but it cannot compete with genuine marble. Countertops created from this stone are classic and, recreate in your home in Minneapolis, the beauty, grace and refinement of ancient Greece and Rome.
