FAQ
Most Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about choosing the right marble or granite for your project? Our FAQ section covers everything from material selection and maintenance to installation and customization, ensuring you have all the information you need to make informed design decisions.
What are the differences between marble and granite for interior applications ?
Marble offers a timeless, elegant appearance with unique veining, making it ideal for low-traffic areas like bathroom vanities and decorative accents. Granite is more durable and resistant to scratches and heat, making it suitable for high-traffic areas such as kitchen countertops.
How should I maintain my marble or granite surfaces ?
Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner is recommended. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners. Both marble and granite should be sealed periodically to protect against stains and moisture.
Will my stone installation have visible seams ?
Most stone installations will require seams. However, during the design and layout process, efforts are made to minimize the number and visibility of seams, placing them in less conspicuous areas.
Can I place hot items directly on granite or marble countertops ?
Granite is heat-resistant and can handle hot pots and pans, but it’s advisable to use trivets to prevent potential thermal shock. Marble is more sensitive to heat and can suffer damage; always use protective barriers.
