The subtle beauty of marble can add timeless elegance

Good For Baking

Marble countertops naturally stay cool and always remain below room temperature. This creates the ideal working surface for bakers who are working with chocolate, dough, pastries, and even ice cream. However, this doesn’t mean marble only has a place in a bakery or old-fashioned pizza shop. Amateur chefs and bakers can also enjoy the benefits of baking on natural marble countertops at home.

Durability

Don’t be discouraged by the higher maintenance needs of marble compared to other types of Stone. Marble is still incredibly strong. It has been used as a building material for centuries and many of the world’s oldest and recognisable landmarks are made from marble, including the Taj Mahal, Parthenon, and Lincoln Memorial.

Timeless Elegance

Marble comes in a wide array of colours, including white, black, green, grey, yellow, and rose. It has long been prized for its beauty and warmth with a natural elegance that pairs well with any décor. The most popular type of marble is Italian White Carrara, which was used in design in Ancient Rome and by sculptors like Michelangelo. When you choose marble countertops, you can be sure they will be as appealing in a century as they are today.
