White Marble Kitchen Worktops
White marble worktops have always been a showstopper in a kitchen. The sheer beauty of a natural stone placed as a focal point in a kitchen brings an element of elegance and timeless beauty as well as looking opulent. White marble worktops also reflect and amplify the light in your kitchen. The reason marble has always been so popular is because each slab is unique in terms of veining and no two pieces will ever be the same. It is completely refined and unique to your kitchen or bathroom.
Many of our clients want to have white marble in their kitchens, however, express that they would rather opt for a darker granite as they are slightly nervous about the staining and maintenance of such an expensive stone. The dilemma is that white marble kitchen worktops are not always the practical choice in a highly utilised home space which is often full of spills and thrills and the porous qualities of the stone don’t help matters. Marble worktops need to be sealed once a year and can become dull over time if not cared for. However, there is a solution to this dilemma. Quartz worktops now have such advanced designs and many well-known brands do a range of quartz which replicates marble. In fact, some of them look so identical that many people find it hard to believe that it is, in fact, an engineered stone. Quartz worktops which resemble marble are a long-term investment in your kitchen as it has the beauty of natural stone with the durability and low maintenance of quartz.
The most popular marble worktops are:
CARRARA MARBLE
This is the least expensive of the white marbles. It is heavily veined and almost resembles a blue cheese. In comparison to the other marble choices, this is the subtlest in terms of colour and appearance.
STATUARIO MARBLE
This is an incredibly opulent marble and probably one of the most expensive. The stone is white with a striking grey veined pattern which is book matched and looks exquisite in a kitchen, island or splashback.
CALACATTA MARBLE
Calcutta marble is similar to Statuario and again is a highly-desired marble. This stone has a white background with beautiful gold and grey veining. The veins are much thicker and a lot more distinct than Carrara marble.
