Give any Room a New Personality with Marble

Home owners, as well as home buyers are looking for more than just functionality in their homes. More people want their home to stand out from the rest with unique, one of a kind materials and decor. Marble is particularly sought after because of its luxurious and timeless beauty. It also can give any room in your home a new, high end look and personality, from traditional to modern, and any style in between. Adding marble even adds value to your home.

 

Marble is in high demand not only for kitchens and bathrooms, but for fireplace surrounds, shower walls, basement bar counters, and entertainment centers.  Marble is found mostly in light colors, but it can also be found in dark shades. Black marble countertops with white veining can give a room that “wow” factor. The options are limited to your imagination!  Marble is typically seen with a high polish, but it can also have a honed finish which can hide any scratches.
Marble is a porous material, so it should be sealed annually, or as needed to prevent any staining or discoloration. It is best to avoid any liquids or materials that may stain or scratch the surface like ammonia or acidic juices.  If you should spill anything on marble, it needs to be wiped up immediately. Routine cleaning simple entails using a mild detergent and a soft cloth, making sure never to use any harsh abrasive cleaners on marble.
