Frequently asked questions about natural stone countertops
What is the difference between granite and marble for a kitchen countertop?
Granite/quartzite is harder and more resistant to scratches and acids, making it easier to maintain. Marble has a luxurious look with beautiful veining, but is more sensitive to stains and acids (such as citric acids or wine).
How do I maintain a natural stone countertop?
Clean daily with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive cleaners and acids. For extra protection, you can have the countertop impregnated periodically.
Can a natural stone countertop be damaged by heat?
Granite and quartzite are heat-resistant, but it is still wise to always use a trivet for pans taken directly off the heat to prevent thermal shock or discolouration.
How much does a natural stone countertop cost?
The price depends on the chosen type of stone, thickness, finish and dimensions. A granite kitchen countertop is generally more affordable than marble or quartzite. Request a no-obligation quote for an exact price.
How long do delivery and installation take?
On average, this takes 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the type of stone and customisation options. We always inform you of the schedule in advance.
