Grades and selection
Marble is graded by how uniform the colour is and how few veins, cracks and soft spots it has. Higher grades cost more. View the actual slabs, not photos, check for hairline cracks, filled holes and colour variation, and choose slabs from the same block so colours match.
Thickness and strength
Counters are usually 18 to 20 millimetres thick, with a doubled front. Thin marble can crack at the sink cut-out, so support the slab on plywood or brackets at the cut-out and joints. Never cut thick holes by hand without a plan.
Finishes
Polished finishes shine and show etching and scratches. Honed finishes are matte and hide marks better. Leathered finishes add texture. In a busy cooking kitchen, honed or leathered often looks better for longer.
Polish, sealing and wastage
Edge polishing and sealing add to the cost. Plan for wastage of 10 to 20 percent from cutting and defects. Seal marble after fitting, and re-seal every year or two, as turmeric, oil and lemon can stain or etch it.
How to buy a slab
- Measure first. Including cut-outs and an overhang.
- View slabs in daylight. Colour changes under shop lights.
- Ask for a written quote. Material, fabrication and fitting.
- Confirm joints. Where they fall.
- Check delivery. Slabs are heavy and fragile.
Marble versus other stones
Marble is cheaper than granite and quartz but less stain-resistant. For a kitchen with heavy use, granite or quartz may last longer. See kitchen slabs for a full comparison.
Care
Wipe spills quickly, use mild soap and a trivet for hot pots and avoid acids on the surface. Re-polish or hone if etched. A good mason can restore a dull marble counter.
