What is Marble?

Marble is a natural stone formed from intense heat and pressure on limestone over extremely long periods of time. It is composed of calcium carbonate and known for its unique veining patterns caused by impurities such as iron oxide, silt, and clay. Its beauty and elegance make it a popular choice for high-end residential and commercial spaces, especially for countertops and cladding. Despite its relative softness, marble is durable and resistant to heat. It can be polished to a high shine and comes in a variety of colors including white, gray, beige, black, and even pink and green. However, being porous, it requires sealing to prevent staining. Despite this, marble remains a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms due to its timeless beauty.

We source our marble from these suppliers: West Coast Granite, Hari Stones, and Margranite-Ceramstone.
