Frequently Asked Questions — Marble Countertops
Does marble stain or etch?
Marble is a softer, porous stone that can etch from acids (lemon, wine, vinegar) and stain if spills sit. Sealing reduces staining, and many homeowners love the natural patina it develops. See our marble care guide.
Does marble need to be sealed?
Yes. We seal it at installation and recommend re-sealing a few times a year. Sealing helps resist staining but doesn't make it etch-proof.
Is marble or quartzite better for a kitchen?
For the white, veined look with more durability, quartzite resists scratching and etching far better. For the authentic, timeless marble look, marble is the classic choice. We carry both.
Where is marble best used?
Marble is stunning for vanities, fireplace surrounds, and baking stations. In high-traffic kitchens, some homeowners prefer quartz or quartzite for the same look with less upkeep.
How long does installation take?
Most jobs run 5–7 business days from template to install.

Marble has been used for centuries for some of the world’s most historic buildings and most important statues. If you want to create beautiful, classic and artful kitchen countertops, marble can be an excellent choice for your kitchen.
What Is Marble?
Marble is a naturally-occurring metamorphic rock. It usually forms when limestone is subjected to intense heat and pressure. Marble is generally composed of calcite and minerals such as quartz, micas, iron oxides, pyrite, graphite and others.
Marble is a smooth rock that can be polished to a high shine. It has been prized as a building and sculpting material, which is why you will often find it in old castles, palaces, churches and exquisite works of art. It is not the hardest material, but it can last for many years with the right care.
Though it is most prized in its white form, you can also find it in blue, pink, yellow, black and grey. Marble often has distinctive veins or streaks in it, and this can add to its natural beauty since each piece of marble will have its own unique look.
The Benefits of a Marble Kitchen Countertop

- Marble countertops are naturally beautiful: The beauty of fine marble counters is timeless and works with truly every kitchen style — from the most modern to the most classic. Your countertops will look outstanding, and since marble is naturally-occurring, your counters will not look identical to anyone else’s.
- Marble kitchen counters are heat-resistant: They will not burn, warp or melt. Your countertops will also remain cool to the touch, which is very useful when you roll out pie or other forms of dough.
