What is Marble?

The Classic and Elegant Natural Stone

Geology.com defines marble as a metamorphic stone.

Marble is significantly softer than granite, making carving and etching much easier. For this reason, marble is often used as a decorative element or to create pillars, fountains or sculptures. Sometimes patterns are cut into the stone. Due to its softness and its highly reactive nature to acids, marble is not recommended for kitchen countertops. Marble can be used for flooring, vanities, sinks and fireplace surrounds.

Used throughout history in architecture, sculptures, and building materials, marble is a sedimentary rock that has been buried deep beneath the surface of the earth. When heat and pressure are applied over millions of years the finished product is marble. Rating a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale, marble is softer than granite or quartzite and will need to be sealed often to help reduce the chances of staining or etching. Although more maintenance is typically required to keep marble looking its best, it is a beautiful material and can be used for many applications.

I was blown away by the professionalism, speed and hard work of Adam, Gonzo and Julio. They did an amazing job on my kitchen countertops! The attention to detail was incredible. I can’t even tell where a single seam is in my Quartz. I would highly recommend these guys and Superior Granite to anyone. The best experience of any contractor I’ve had work in my home. From initial design to installation, the whole process was a breeze! The communication was the best I’ve seen of any contractor. Will definitely be using Superior Granite when I remodel my bathrooms very soon.

We absolutely love our new countertops! Superior Granite has been super friendly and professional since the moment we walked through their doors in the Pace, FL location. Sarah was AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable about all of the different types of stone and always kept us in our budget. She never missed a beat when it came to my wife wanting to look at 30 types of countertops on multiple occasions. Go see Sarah, you won't regret it.

Chad, Thomas and Trey were our install crew and they were great as well. It was a very easy process and they treated our home with the upmost respect. Thanks guys! We will be repeat Customer with Sarah and her team at Superior Granite.

There are not enough words to describe my incredible experience at Superior Granite!! From my initial inquiring phone call, to seeing my new counters installed, the customer service was incredible! After a bad experience with a local granite business I posted to my facebook friends to please refer a reputable granite dealer, within minutes I received at least ten referrals to Superior Granite!! Everyone said, “You’ve got to go to Superior!” From looking at samples with India, to digitally mapping my kitchen with Mike (who also ultimately guided me in which granite would look best), to final selection day with Wally (who also sent me pictures during the counter cutting process), I was treated with the best customer service I have had in ages!!! So if you ask me….. You’ve got to go to Superior!!!! Thank you Superior Granite for making the upgrade seamless, affordable, and unexpectedly… FUN!!!!!

You guys rocked it - Marcus, Shane, Henry, Edger and Brian. Beautiful quartzite and quartz. The sales lady was also very helpful in guiding us through the process. Definitely recommend if you are in the market!

Yes, in most cases, your countertops will have seams, especially in larger kitchens or complex layouts. Even though fabricators work hard to create a smooth and continuous look, seams are often necessary due to slab size limits, transportation needs, and installation requirements. In modern countertop fabrication, seams are not a sign of poor quality. Instead,…

While cracks are rare, they are usually caused by improper installation, structural unlevelness, or the thermal shock of hot glass cookware, not by normal climate heat. Understanding Granite and…
