It is a common knowledge that marble is one of the most luxurious types of natural stone out there. Marble is durable, easy to maintain, resistant to severe weather conditions and is incredibly diverse in its color palette. There are more into this wonderful building material. 

Today I will share some less known facts about marble and marble applications: 

• Marble is Hypoallergenic 

Marble’s low porosity and density make the natural stone hypoallergenic indoors. This building material does not collect allergens and thus is a great choice for people with any allergy concerns and hotels. 

• Unique Because of Its Impurities 

Sand, silt,clay, and iron oxides — impurities of this natural stone create layers and patterns within marble. Different characteristics can be identified by colors of the rock. For instance, shades of green are a sign of a high level of magnesium in the limestone before it became marblе.

• Perfect for Kitchens and Hot Weather

Marble is heat resistant. Since it does not absorb energy or heat as quickly as other natural building materials, it is a great choice for hot climates. 

Marble kitchen countertops is a fantastic investment into kitchens for both houses and restaurants. Marble countertops do not conduct heat well, which makes them perfect for cooking and especially for working with desserts and pastries. These natural stone countertops also prevent the kitchen from feeling extra steamy during meal preparations. 

• Special Stone Cleaners are a Must

While relatively easy to maintain, marble surfaces still require some special care. Never use any acidic cleaners for marble tiles and countertops. Say no to cleaning with vinegar, but remember that water is also not enough. Use a neutral stone cleaner, or some special ones made particularly for marble.
