Beautiful and elegant, there isn’t another material that quite matches the exquisite appearance of marble countertops. The surface can be described as having a delicate milky or glassy finish, with soft vein patterns throughout that you won’t find in other stones such as granite.

LEARN MORE ABOUT MARBLE
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock, known for its beauty. While there is no denying the exquisite nature of marble, this stone does require care and the application of sealant. If marble is not properly cared for, it can quickly be permanently stained, etched, or scratched.
Benefits of Marble
Marble has been prized for its natural beauty since ancient times. Marble surfaces add a soft and luxurious appearance to any design. Although marble is not as durable as quartz or granite, it is tolerant of high temperatures (note: it can fracture under extreme temperature changes).
At Bloomday we source the majority of our marble slabs from Italian quarries. This natural stone is available in a wide range of colors and hues to fit any design. Each slab has a unique combination of veining and coloration you won’t find anywhere else, making your piece truly one of a kind. We allow our customers and promote our customers to “hand select” their slabs at one of our local suppliers. That way they can see and touch the actual piece that will be cut and fabricated for their home.
Marble countertops are a popular countertop option and will add value to your home, and it may be more affordable than you think.
Don’t write it off, meet with us to discuss how we can bring marble into your home!
We source our marble from several reputable suppliers, including:
Caring for Your Marble Countertops
Marble is soft and porous by nature, which means it can etch, scratch, and stain if not cared for properly. If you are using marble for your kitchen countertops, always use a cutting board when preparing food, and avoid contact with acidic liquids such as vinegar, red wine, and citrus juices. These substances can stain the surface if they are not cleaned up promptly.
When cleaning, use warm water and a few drops of dish soap or mild surface cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives which may scratch or etch the surface of your marble countertops. Do not use non-PH balanced cleaners or anything designed to remove lime, scale, or rust. No Bleach, ammonia based products, or Vinegar.
All natural stone countertops are sealed with our DRY Treat 15-year sealer after installation.
When choosing your materials, we want you to make a selection that best fits your needs. We’ll go over the properties of your marble countertops with you before you decide, and address any concerns you may have so you can make an informed decision. If you have any questions, contact us today.
Please Note: Samples of material may not match the final slab. When slabs arrive we give customers the option to view and approve the material before anything is fabricated. This allows you the chance to see the patterns and variations within the slab and to feel any rough patches or pitting within the stone.
