Marble Quartz Worktops

When most of us think of a high grade natural stone, gleaming white marble is the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, when choosing a stone worktop, a marble quartz worktop rather than a marble countertop is your best option.

Marble may look good but if it’s in your home as a kitchen worktop it will soon have you tearing your hair out. A marble worktop is not the most practical choice for a kitchen, there are a number of better options and marble quartz tops the list.

Here’s why a marble quartz worktop outshines a marble kitchen worktop and other worktop styles like Dekton, by miles.

4 reasons why marble quartz wins the marble vs quartz debate with ease

Quartz and granite worktops are the best types of worktops for your kitchen. Both materials are robust and will withstand heat, stains, scratches and fading. Many homeowners opt for a quartz worktop because quartz comes in a wider range of colours and styles than granite which is favoured for its natural grain.

Marble effect worktops make it possible to get the stunning white finish and veining of natural marble stone whilst benefiting from the hardwearing properties of quartz.

To the untrained eye, marble effect quartz worktops and marble worktops look exactly the same.

Quartz worktops are constructed from a robust combination of natural quartz particles and polymer resins which act like glue. The manufacturing process produces a hardwearing, highly durable type of quartz that consists of about 93% organic quartz stone.

Marble quartz worktops vs marble worktops

1. Higher resistance: Marble is a porous stone with low resistance to heavy use. Marble will absorb spills and incur damage from scratches, abrasions, cleaning products and anything acidic or alkaline.

That means a dropped cup, lemon juice, vinegar, kitchen cleaners and lots of other everyday routines will quickly ruin a marble worktop.

Marble quartz on the other hand has an extremely high level of resistance and is prized for its durability.

2. Easy to maintain: A marble worktop must be treated regularly with a sealing treatment because it is so absorbent. On the other hand, a marble effect quartz worktop requires no maintenance.

3. Long-lasting: From all the points already mentioned, it’s clear that a marble kitchen countertop won’t last. Yet, a marble quartz worktop is sought after for its ability to endure and retain its value long into the future.

4. Better aesthetic: Marble quartz countertops deliver a better aesthetic. The manufacturing process means quartz countertops come in a huge range of rich, glossy colours and shades. A marble quartz countertop will still have the beautiful veining of natural marble, achieved to an even more pleasing effect.

If you are considering a marble worktop for your kitchen, a marble quartz worktop is the best option if you want a top-quality countertop that will last.
