Comparing and Contrasting Marble vs. Granite – Madison County Chamber of Commerce News


The color you choose is as you’d like, but these are some information about marble and granite.

Marble is a metamorphic stone that has formed from recrystallized carbon under intense high temperatures and pressure. It is mostly composed by calcium carbonate. It’s typically available in white or black and is distinguished by its veins. It’s porous, but not particularly durable, and will not stand up well under extremely high temperatures. Granite is more costly and more expensive than the other types of granite.

Granite can be described as an igneous stone, meaning it’s formed by magma in the earth. Granite is comprised of feldspar and silica and quartz slate, and other minerals. Granite is distinguished by its chunky, fleck-filled appearance. It comes in an array of shades. Granite is very hard and long-lasting. It also withstands the heat. It’s typically more expensive than marble.

Granite is generally more suitable for countertops in kitchens than marble. Both kinds must be sealed regularly to avoid the risk of damage. They can also be damaged by common cleaning products. Whatever type of seal you pick, you must be certain to maintain your counter tops in the kitchen.
