Debunking Marble Myths

Why Marble Countertops and Tiles Deserve a Second Look When customers step into our ASMI Surfaces showroom, one material always holds their gaze—marble. It’s hard not to be drawn to its natural beauty, elegant veining, and timeless appeal make it hard to resist. Yet, time and again, we see the same reaction – customers fall in love with a marble slab, but once they hear ‘marble,’ the questions and concerns begin. Why is that? The internet and social media have painted a picture of marble as a high-maintenance, easily stained surface that may not be worth the trouble. But is that really the full story? Let’s uncover the real story behind marble, weigh the pros and cons, and see why, with proper care, it can be a perfect addition to any space. Marble: The Good, the Beautiful, and the Durable Marble is synonymous with luxury. The ancient Greeks and Romans adorned their grandest buildings with it, and it’s still a top choice in high-end designs today. Marble offers something few other materials can match—its natural elegance and unique patterns create a one-of-a-kind aesthetic in every installation. Countertop and Tile Render The Pros of Choosing Marble: Why It’s Still a Top Contender Unique Beauty
 Each slab of marble is a masterpiece of nature, offering intricate veining that no man-made surface can replicate. Whether in a bathroom, kitchen or as accent flooring, marble adds an irreplaceable charm. Cool Surface for KitchensMarble naturally stays cool, which makes it ideal for baking and rolling dough. If you’re an avid cook or baker, you’ll love the smooth, cool touch of a marble countertop. Increases Property Value
Homes with marble surfaces are often viewed as more luxurious. If you’re looking to invest in your property, marble can offer long-term value that goes beyond just looks. The Cons of Marble: What You Need to Know Of course, no material is perfect. While marble offers unmatched beauty, it’s important to understand its maintenance needs: Porous Nature
Marble is a porous stone that can absorb liquids if not sealed properly. That’s why sealing your marble countertops annually prevents stains from substances like wine, juice, or oil.Etching from Acidic Substances
Acidic foods like lemon juice or vinegar can cause etching—small, dull marks on the marble surface. However, this can be minimized with regular maintenance and the right cleaning products. Scratches and Chips
: As a softer stone, marble can scratch more easily than harder materials like quartz (checkout marble’s Moh hardness). However, with the right care and the use of cutting boards, these issues can be avoided. Scratches and Chips

Simple Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty If you’re one of those customers who’s hesitant to choose marble, remember that proper care can preserve its beauty for years to come. Here are a few tips: Seal Regularly:Sealing your marble is essential to protecting it from spills and stains. An annual reseal will keep it in top condition. Use pH-Neutral Cleaners: Avoid harsh, acidic cleaners. A mild soap and water mixture works wonders for everyday cleaning. Wipe Spills Immediately: Quick action is key to preventing stains. Keep a soft cloth handy for wiping up spills as soon as they happen. With these simple steps, you can enjoy the breathtaking elegance of marble without worry. So, next time you see a beautiful marble slab in our showroom, don’t let myths stop you. Marble may require some care, but its unique character and elegance are well worth it. Final Thoughts Marble is a statement material. Its luxurious appearance, cool-to-the-touch surface, and ability to age beautifully make it a top choice for homeowners who want more than just a functional surface. If you’re ready to explore marble countertops and tiles, visit our ASMI Surfaces showroom. Our experts can guide you on how to select and care for your marble so that it remains a timeless centerpiece in your home. Contact Sales Representative St. Louis | Kansas
