Marble worktops

Marble worktops have long been considered the ultimate choice for those seeking a luxurious kitchen countertop design, and with good reason. Marble worktops, and even a marble effect worktop, can add instant glamour to your kitchen. In addition, marble worktops are renowned for being hard-wearing, resilient, and timelessly heat resistant. Marble look worktops created using quartz also boast these qualities and as marble effect worktops are cheaper than marble worktops, many customers prefer to purchase marble effect kitchen worktops. At Stone Synergy we produce exceptional marble effect kitchen worktop options that are both stylish and durable.

What are marble worktops made of?

The obvious answer is that genuine marble worktops are created using marble, a metamorphic rock that comprises calcite or dolomite. In geological terms, marble is metamorphosed limestone, yet in stonemasonry, marble generally refers to unmetamorphosed limestone. However, to confuse matters further, when you see what you believe to be a marble worktop, you may actually be viewing a marble effect worktop. At Stone Synergy, we supply a luxurious collection of marble effect kitchen worktops from renowned brands such as Simply Quartz and Silestone.

The history of marble countertops

The versatility of marble and marble countertops has been appreciated for thousands of years, with everyone from architects to artists appreciating the beauty of this material. Prior to marble being used in homes as marble worktops, artists such as Michaelangelo and Bernini would use the stone to create masterpieces that continue to be adored by art lovers worldwide. Before it was used to create marble countertops, marble was particularly popular in the Mediterranean where it was used to create temples and political buildings. The transition from building material to kitchen worksurface was an easy one, with homeowners realising how marble worktops could enhance the interior of their homes.

Real marble countertops versus marble effect kitchen worktops

Choosing between genuine marble worktops or a marble effect worktop may simply be a matter of personal budget. Marble worktops are considered a high-end option as the prices of marble worktops can be extremely expensive. However, in reality, the cost of marble worktops can vary greatly, with some marble worktops being less expensive than others. Marble look worktops, like those included in our extensive collection, are much cheaper than real marble worktops. Price is by no means the only reason to choose marble worktops from our range and genuine marble is actually porous, making it prone to staining. In addition, marble is a soft stone that can make marble worktops susceptible to chipping. These are not problems you will encounter with our marble countertops, as they are created using hardwearing, non-porous stone.
