Durability & Sealing
Marble is softer than granite and more porous. Modern impregnating sealers reduce stain absorption significantly. We recommend honed finishes for kitchens (less visible etching) and polished finishes for bathrooms (easier to clean). Apply sealer every 6–12 months depending on usage. Use cutting boards — never cut directly on marble.
Fabrication Process
We follow a six-step process: slab selection → digital template → CNC cutting → edge profiling → dry fit → final polish. All sink and tap cutouts are precision-drilled before delivery. Edges are hand-finished for smoothness.
FAQ
Is marble practical for kitchen countertops?
Yes, with proper sealing and realistic expectations. Honed finishes minimise the appearance of etching from acidic foods. Many high-end kitchens worldwide use marble as the primary food preparation surface.
What edge profile is most popular?
The eased edge (slight round-over) accounts for about 60% of installations. Ogee and dupont edges are popular in traditional interiors; mitered waterfall edges are the top choice for contemporary kitchen islands.
Can I undermount a sink in marble?
Yes. We CNC-cut precise openings for undermount sinks. The exposed stone edge is polished smooth. We recommend adequate support brackets for large farmhouse-style sinks.
What is the lead time for a custom countertop?
Typically 10–20 working days from template to installation, depending on slab availability and edge complexity. Express orders can be completed in 7–10 days.
Can marble countertops be installed with an undermount sink?
Yes. We accommodate all standard sink sizes. The cutout is polished smooth. Support clips or brackets are used for larger farmhouse sinks.
How do I prevent etching on marble countertops?
Use a honed finish — etching appears as dull spots on polished surfaces and is barely visible on honed. Wipe acidic spills (lemon, tomato, wine) immediately. Use coasters and trays.
