Top Shop Materials - Marble

Marble is formed from the metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite rock. It is ideal for non-work, and decorative surfaces, such as foyers, bathrooms, hearths, and more.

The peerless beauty of “marble” has entranced architects, builders and homeowners for several centuries, because of its luxurious and glamorous looks and texture, luminescence and veining. Sheer Elegance!

This perennially cool stone, with its moderate heat tolerant properties is the material of choice for the baker and the pastry chef, to roll out and knead dough.

A Pro for marble is that because it is a softer stone, stain-removal polishing and restoration becomes a lot easier.

This being said, it is NOT recommended for the kitchen or any other work areas, where hard, sharp knives or tools are used, and areas exposed to corrosive fluids and food products, such as lime, juice, vinegar, alcohol, and dyes. If exposed to “hard water”, water stains will develop, over a period of time. Marble is very susceptible to stains, even with sealing, and can, also, scratch and chip easily.

We recommend that you keep you marble surfaces completely free of food remains, and spills. Clean frequently, with lukewarm water, or with any non-ammonia, non-acidic, neutral cleaning solution. Marble must be sealed frequently, and may be waxed (though, waxing is not a must). Do not wax white marble, as it may cause the stone to turn yellow.
