How to choose the
Perfect Natural Stone
for your space.
Granite and Marble have always been considered to have a subtle effect on human energy levels, it’s natural. Both marble and granite come in a variety of colours and patterns, making each stone unique in its origin and the slab, unique in its way to add chic and grace to any space. The colours range from pure white, beige, brown, pink, yellow, and black. Perhaps, this myriad of colours can only be found in natural stones.
Then how does one choose between marble and granite? Well, there are a few factors that one needs to take into consideration.A high footfall rate is a qualifier for Granite if you are looking for a kitchen top that can survive through ages. Most Granites are resistant to heat, scratches and acidic materials. Since they are non-porous, they are stain- proof which makes them the best choice of material for countertops, backsplashes, flooring, exterior cladding, and interior walls. They are easy to clean and require very less maintenance. Granites come polished and can be laid as is, it’s that easy.
Marbles come in purest whites to intense back colours that make them look extremely stylish and elegant. These too can be used as flooring, wall cladding, backsplashes and countertops. Even though marble can be aesthetically pleasing in soft tones, they are not ideal for areas with high footfall. Humidity can damage marble. They are porous and absorb stains. Due to their soft and sheen characteristics, they need to be repolished every few years.Factors to consider
