Marble is a natural stone that has a lot to offer to homeowners. Its subtle beauty has a timeless elegance and its brightness is perfect for both smaller and larger spaces alike. A marble worktop will also be incredibly strong, durable and heat resistant, making it a great material for a kitchen space. You’ll also find that a marble worktop comes in an array of colours, making it easy to pair with any home decor, and an incredibly appealing material to work with when it comes to interior design.

Marble is an extremely unique surface, every piece offers it’s own set of characteristics meaning no two surfaces will ever be the same. Offering a soft aesthetic with deep routed veins, marble is a stunning surface suitable for a wide range of home improvement projects. 

A popular option is a clean white colour with minimal veins creating a minimal finish for your kitchen. 

Other options, specifically with heavy veins coursing through the worktop can create a raw aesthetic that complements black or grey units.

Boasting classic aesthetics, marble is an extremely popular material option in homes across the United Kingdom. Marble is also one of the most durable materials on the market, making it the perfect option for your new kitchen worktop.

It also offers excellent heat resistance properties meaning that if you accidentally put a hot pan on the worktop, there is less of a chance that this is going to cause damage.

If you’re looking to combine luxury with performance and durability then marble is the perfect choice for you.

Although marble is often described as a fairly soft stone, it is actually a very strong and hard-wearing material. This makes it an ideal choice for a kitchen worktop, as it can take a great deal of use.

Marble is a rather porous material, so therefore it can be prone to staining, yet with proper maintenance, you can avoid this. Sealing your worktop will go a long way in protecting your marble from stains, and avoiding harsh cleaning products or acidic liquids will also help. Here at Aspire Stone Fabrications, we’re experts when it comes to marble worktops, so therefore our team will be more than happy to explain to you the maintenance you need to carry out in order to keep your marble worktop looking great.

Again, marble is a relatively soft material, so it may scratch under heavy use. By using cutting boards and coasters, you can avoid your worktops being scratched accidentally.

Marble is heat resistant and can stand up well to hot pans. However, it is important to be careful as to not place an incredibly hot pan onto a marble worktop that has just come off the hob. This is because it may cause discolouration.

Compared to many other worktop materials, marble has been known to last twice as long when properly maintained. Marble has, in fact, been used across the world for both decorative and functional purposes for thousands of years, such as in the Mediterranean to build religious structures such as temples, government buildings and statues!

It is recommended that your marble worktop is sealed every 3 to 6 months. However, this will depend on the colour of your worktop. Ensuring that your worktop is properly sealed will preserve the quality and keep it looking great.

Since marble is a softer material, it can be susceptible to water stains. Therefore, any spills should be wiped off the surface immediately.
