MARBLE countertops are well-made and structurally sound but are less forgiving than their granite or quartz counterparts. Marble countertops are the most porous of the three and is especially sensitive to acidic liquids and potent chemical cleaners. For example, wine, vinegar, and other acidic food can stain and etch marble countertops if not wiped away quickly. A high-grade sealant is necessary to protect the surface but is often applied by manufacturers or installation specialists.

Select marble countertops if you want a design with the most unique, unpredictable veining and natural modeling. Marble countertops tend to darken slightly over time.
