    Marble is amongst the most favored natural stones for various exterior and interior projects like countertops for kitchens and bathrooms. It is a metamorphic rock that forms under the earth. Layers and layers of limestone and calcium carbonate when subjected to heat and pressure, emerge as amazingly attractive natural stone.

    A combination of various mineral deposits, such as silt, clay, sand, iron oxides, or chert create natural black and white swirls throughout the stone. Large blocks of this stone are quarried, cut, and used for a range of applications including countertops.

    Marble is prefixed with various names such as Calacatta, Borghini, Carrara, Statutario, Emperador, and Crema Marfil. These names tell you where the marble was quarried. Italy, Spain, and Greece are the primary sources of marble. When you start looking, you will find there is a wide variation in marble countertops cost, and the rarer varieties are more expensive.

    1. Easy To Produce Unique Shapes And Edges

    Marble, unlike other countertop materials such as granite, is softer, which makes it easier to create unique edge profiles. Among the popular edge profiles are bullnose, bevel, straight and demi bullnose.

    Besides these, you can opt for fancy and premium finishes like elegant cove bullnose, stair thread, chiseled ‘waterfall edge’ (with three cascading arches). These edges add texture and style to the feature. When it comes to cost, premium edge profiles are pricier than standard ones. However, the overall cost of marble edging for marble countertops in bathrooms is lower than granite.

    2. Resilient And Moisture-Resistant

    Marble is water-resistant, which makes it perfect for bathrooms and kitchens areas that see a lot of water and moisture. This stone is also scratch-resistant and retains its beauty for many years. It is the perfect countertop material because no matter how roughly you use it every day, it doesn’t show signs of wear and tear. Marble stone looks stunning no matter where you install it.

    3. Elegance And Sophistication

    Marble comes in a wide range of colors such as white, black, green, rose, gray, and yellow. You are sure to find something that complements the aesthetic of your kitchen and bathrooms. White Carrara is one of the best marble varieties that was also commonly used in ancient structures. Renowned sculptors like Michelangelo used it in their artistic creations. The beauty, warmth, and sophistication of marble countertops in a kitchen is a great addition to your home.

    4. Excellent For Baking

    Bakers find marble to be the perfect worktop. It is cool and smooth and perfect for kneading and rolling dough. Marble has a higher thermal mass which means it stays naturally cool (lower than room temperature). It’s why marble countertops are traditionally used in bakeries to where bakers work with dough, pastries, candies, chocolate, etc. regularly.

    5. Heat-Resistant

    Marble holds its temperature better than other natural stones. What is less known is that the stone has heat-resistant properties. It does not melt, crack, burn, or catch fire when exposed to heat. However, it’s best to use trivets to place hot pans; this helps the stone retain its shine and finish.

    6. Perfect For Luxury Bathrooms

    Interior designers adore marble and use it to significant effect in bathrooms. The stone is available in a variety of styles and colors, which allows these professionals to get as creative as they want to. The natural swirls in marble add a touch of luxury and beauty to any space. Even an elegant marble countertop installed in a compact bathroom can transform it into something unique.

    Marble Countertops Toronto For Bathrooms

    Most of the qualities that make marble the ideal material for kitchens, also make it the right choice for bathrooms. Many of our clients have heard that quartz countertops for bathrooms are an excellent option. But they are also intrigued by the idea of using marble in these spaces. Depending on the plan and design aesthetic of the bathroom, you can also use a combination of quartz and marble countertops in Toronto. Marble countertops white in bathrooms are a definite value-add to your home.

    Bathroom spaces see daily use and have to endure exposure to water, steam, and dirt. When you are getting your bathroom renovated, you want to choose materials that are resilient and water-resistant. Marble is the best-suited material for bathroom countertops and vanities. It works well for sink surrounds and bathroom walls as well, which means you can create the perfect look with marble in your bathroom.

    Marble Countertops Cost

    While marble countertops are considered expensive, they are available in a price range between $40 to 150$ per square feet (or higher). It means their quality and style differs widely too. Typically, homeowners spend between $40 and $100 per square foot on marble countertops (including installation costs). Various factors drive the price of marble countertops, such as:

    • Material- The cost of your countertop depends upon the type of marble you use. Italian Carrara, with its subtle veins, is widely available and cost-effective, while the brighter white Calacatta marble with gray veining is pricier.
    • Colors- As mentioned earlier, you can choose from various colors and customize your countertop. Naturally, it will add to the cost of the feature. Most people prefer specific colors, and we are here to help you with design advice and guidance.
    • Labor: Large size slabs can be heavy, but are cheaper to install than smaller pieces. In case of an on-site assembly, the cost rises as the time and labor costs are higher.
    • Countertop Style and Design: Marble can be shaped intricately to add a unique look to your countertop. However, that adds to the overall cost. Simple shapes like squares or rectangles are easy to cut and install, which makes them more cost-effective.
    • Slab Thickness- The thickness of the marble slab is yet another consideration. The slabs come in standard thicknesses of 2, 3, and 5 cm. You can opt for thicker marble which has a very luxurious look but can be very expensive.
    • Extras- In every home remodeling project, there are always some hidden costs, and they vary with the labor involved. In countertop installation, you have to factor in the price of removing the old countertops and making sink cutouts. You will also have to account for backsplash and finishing costs. In short, anything out of the ordinary will add to the countertop cost.
