Marble or Granite for Kitchen Countertops?

A practical comparison of the two most popular natural stone countertops.

Marble and granite are both popular for kitchens, but they behave differently in daily use.

Granite

Granite is hard and resists heat and scratching well. It is available in many colours and patterns and is a common choice for busy kitchens.

Marble

Marble offers a classic look but is softer and reacts with acids such as lemon juice and vinegar. It suits users who accept a lived-in patina or want a baking surface.

Both need sealing

Natural stone is porous to some degree. Sealing helps resist stains, and the maker’s care advice should be followed.
