Caring For Your Stone
The warm beauty of marble is unparalleled among building materials, but preserving that beauty in certain marbles requires careful, regular maintenance. Some simple steps will help preserve the original luster of the stone over time.
New cleaning and polishing methods have been developed and refined to help preserve the marble or granite in its original condition with minimum effort. Eurostone Inc happily shares the following approaches, which you may choose to use to properly care for your marble and granite floors, counter-tops, and furniture.
Marble is practical
There’s a reason that top chefs worldwide use marble in their Kitchens. Their heat-resistant will put you at ease while cooking, as you won’t risk damaging it with an accidental hot pan. For the more seasoned chefs, marble countertops make baking even more exciting, as their natural cool temperature will help you in the process, and you’ll end up with some amazing baked goods. They are wonderful to use when dealing with easy-to-melt substances such as chocolate. Cook away, your marble top can take it! Rather than doing the work directly on your countertop ( which you can do ), we suggest requesting a cutting board to be made from your kitchen slab. This can easily be done with little or no extra cost. Overall, a marble countertop will provide your kitchen with a stunning and practical countertop surface that will be a great investment you will be glad you made every time you lay your eyes on it. Here are a few other things to consider if you’re thinking about a spectacular marble countertop:
Marble adds value to your home
Besides looking fantastic, a marble countertop in Thassos White, Tinos Green, Calacatta, or Bianco Carrara, will make your kitchen the highlight of the home. Each variety of marble color can be coordinated with most any color scheme. That’s why interior designers love Greek and Italian marble never goes out of style. And when it finally comes to resale, you would be hard-pressed to find another material that adds more value to your home than Greek marble.
Marble is durable
What material was Michelangelo working and sculpting from? Hint: it wasn’t quartz or granite!!! The Colosseum, the Forum, the Parthenon, they were all made from marble. They lasted a pretty long time …. just saying.
Marble is easy to maintain
What?? Yes, this is correct! There’s a common misconception that marble countertops need constant care to stay clean. In reality, maintaining a marble countertop doesn’t go beyond cleaning it as routinely as you clean any other piece in your house. If you spill red wine on your nice new Thassos White top, it will not immediately stain. As long as you don’t intend on leaving spilled wine and food overnight.
