Granite Vs. Marble

Marble Granite
Both materials that were created deep into the Earth millions of years ago, almost look the same, but have different characteristics.
Granite is light-colored, formed by cooling of magma below Earth’s surface.
Marble is hard, white or black and has spots of different colors.
Granite has been used for architectural use, such as buildings, bridges and pavement, while marble is used for it’s beauty and unique feel; most commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms and shower walls.
They cost almost the same, and priced are according to 3 categories:
- Durability
- Longevity
- Natural Beauty
Which Is More Durable?
Granite is more durable than marble in everyday wear and tear use. You are able to cut vegetables, meats, fruits and other items on a granite countertop without a cutting board and it will not damage the surface.
But if you cut it on a marble countertop, you will quickly ruin the surface.
Which Is More Heat Resistant?
Granite countertops can be subject to heat unlike marble. You can place hot pots and pants on a granite top without damaging the surface, while placing a hot pot on a marble top will lead to discolor.
Which Material Is Easier To Clean?
Both materials can be easily cleaned, if you apply the right sealer after installation. A sealer helps resist staining and bacteria growth. A sealer should be applied every twelve to eightteen months.
Granite has smaller pores, so it will contract less bacteria than marble. In other words, if you do not care for your counter tops, a granite surface will last a little longer than a marble surface.
Hey Percario,
Interesting Thoughts, House cleaning business owners face many challenges, and among them are choosing the right cleaning chemicals for all the different surfaces they clean.
Keep up the good work
I honestly knew about most of this, but having said that, I still thought it turned out valuable. Fine work!

Great post. I’m a regular visitor of your web site and appreciate you taking the time to maintain the nice site. I will be a frequent visitor for a long time.
I’m impressed, I must say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the issue is something that not sufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very completely satisfied that I stumbled across this in my seek for something referring to this.
I was glad understand a little a lot more.
That’s really interesting. That’s a new way to look at it. Thank you for the fantastic content!
