Add Character to Your Home with Marble

Granite Plus Inc carries a variety of bright and elegant marble products that will add beauty and character to your home or office. Marble is formed when sediment crystallizes under heat or pressure. Marble requires some maintenance because it is porous and more susceptible to staining than harder stone types. It also reacts easily with acids. However, etches and stains blend into the grey veins of the stone over time, which creates a unique look. Carrara marble is also one of the cheapest stone solutions.

Finishes
Marble comes in two finishes:

• Honed: This finish is created by sanding the surface so that it has a soft, matte look. This finish won’t show scratches as much as a polished finish. 
• Polished: Polished marble has a shiny surface and won’t stain as easily as honed marble, but it is easy to scratch and etch. A polished surface’s shine will also wear down over time.
