When it comes to kitchen or bathroom countertops, beauty is only part of the story. Durability, resistance to heat, moisture, scratches, and cleaning chemicals are all crucial in choosing the right stone.

Recommended Options:

• Granite: A trusted choice, easy to clean and highly heat-resistant—suitable for most kitchens.
• Quartzite: Resembles marble but with higher durability. Ideal for luxurious looks without the maintenance stress.
• Marble: Stunning in appearance but requires delicate care. Better for decorative countertops.
• Engineered Quartz: Extremely resistant to stains and moisture, low maintenance, and perfect for modern settings.

Safe Use of Marble in Countertops:

If you love marble’s elegance but are concerned about its sensitivity, here are some solutions:

Physical Methods:

• Use glass boards or wooden protectors in high-use areas to avoid direct contact with food or acids.
• Choose darker shades of marble that better resist stains and show fewer scratches.

Chemical Methods:

• Apply nano coatings or sealers that protect the surface against moisture, stains, oils, and mild acids without altering its appearance.
• Reapply sealers every 6 to 12 months for long-term durability and shine.

With proper care and technology, marble can be not only beautiful but also functional—even in moderately used kitchen zones.
