Marble Worktops & Surfaces

Beloved by emperors and artisans alike, marble has been one of the most beautiful and sought-after stones for centuries. Whether it’s as pure white as snow or streaked with dramatic, colourful veins, each piece of marble is a unique and stunning work of art and, when used in the home, adds an undeniable touch of luxury and opulence.

Marble is a metamorphic rock, which is a rock that has been physically and chemically transformed over time due to intense heat and pressure. Marble begins life as limestone, which is a soft stone made primarily of calcite.

Under heat and pressure caused by magma or the tectonic plates, this limestone begins to recrystallize, changing the texture of the rock and causing the calcite crystals to grow and interlock. Marble can be found in many areas around the world, from Macedonia to the Scottish Highlands, but the most famous varieties come from Italy and Greece, where it is often purest in colour.

Marble tops are better suited to bathrooms, or living rooms, as opposed to kitchens due to their porous nature and the fact marble is less resistant to scratching and chipping compared to either granite or quartz.

Marble comes in a wonderful display of colour. Your choice of hues includes solid white, solid black and a range of variety colours in the rose, yellow, grey, green, white and black spectrums. No two slabs are alike, so you’ll be assured of having a unique look for your home.
