FAQs
While marble is undeniably beautiful, it requires some upkeep. First, marble is much softer than traditional granite, so use a cutting board instead of cutting directly on top of the marble to prevent scratches. Additionally, because the stone is porous, spills not cleaned up immediately may leave stains.
The positive news is that marble has many advantages. Although marble is heat resistant, experts advise placing piping hot pots and pans on top of a clean cloth, pot holder, or trivet to help keep a marble counter looking its best. A marble countertop will also be more resistant to stains and minor scratches if it is sealed annually. Another useful fact is that there are numerous marble varieties available
While new technologies continue to shape the interior design scene, one that has been getting a fair bit of traction of late is marble-look porcelain. A great alternative to the much more costly natural stone, the latest printed porcelain tile technology makes it difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

We scan natural stones and recreate them by printing them on porcelain tiles. We do a 12-layer print which gives incredible depth and realism as there are several colors printed on top of one another. It’s pretty hard to differentiate our porcelain product from natural stone,” says Anton Bourtsev of the product that can be used on the floor and wall, kitchen benchtops, and bathroom vanities.
“People still see porcelain tiles as a typical construction material that’s only available in small sizes, but we use porcelain to create that precious stone look in a large format,” says Anton.
