1.- Why Choose Marble and Granite Over Synthetic Material
There are numerous advantages to using natural stone such as granite and marble in place of synthetic materials such as
Corian, Formica, porcelain, concrete or ceramic tile. Natural stone is durable, long-lasting and color selection is generally far
more extensive. Most people consider natural stone more expensive than it actually is. Not only can natural stone be affordable
but its resilience proves cost effective over time. On the other hand, synthetic material requires periodic replacement and costly
repairs. At Natural Stone Concepts Llc.. we pride ourselves on the ability to offer quality granite and marble products at
affordable prices that are often lower than those of synthetic products. We stock over 100 different granite colors and with such
a large inventory it is easy to find exactly what you are looking for.
Consumers often prefer granite and marble simply for the attractiveness of natural stone. Synthetic products usually aim to
mimic the color variations found in granite or marble. Using man-made material may achieve a similar outward appearance,
but there is a definite difference in quality and ease of use. Granite is considered an ideal choice for kitchen countertops
because it can withstand high heat, up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas heat pads are necessary for countertops made
from synthetic materials due to potential burn marks and fading. Granite countertops are virtually scratch-proof and will not
scratch even when directly cut on. Man-made material is susceptible to burning, discoloration, scratching and can deteriorate
due to normal wear and tear.
Using granite or marble for your kitchen countertops and other home accents is a great way to increase overall value of your
home. Natural Stone Concepts Llc. tocks only the best material and will not sacrifice quality at any cost. We use the best
machine tools to cut and bullnose our product and the difference is visible. Our mission is to offer the best value for your dollar.
If you are looking for quality natural stone that is both elegant and cost efficient, look no further than Natural Stone Concepts Llc.
2.- The Difference between Marble and Granite
Marble and granite products alike add a polished sophistication and enhance any room. Both can be used for countertops, tile
flooring, fireplace mantels, columns, vases and much more. However, even though marble and granite have a similar
aesthetic, they can also be better suited for specific purposes.
Marble lasts as long as granite but is typically best used for items such as vases, crosses, and mantels. Subtle color choices
and veining patterns that marble offers can create more unique and exquisite designs in bathrooms. Physically, marble is less
dense and is often the preferred choice for fireplace mantels because more detailed designs can be carved. Largely
composed of calcite, marble is sensitive to acidic foods which include ketchup, lemon, vinegar and wine. In exposing marble to
these acids there is a risk of staining and dulling the polished finish.
Greater density and hardness help make granite resistant to scratches, acids, stains and heat. That makes granite a popular
choice for kitchen countertops and outdoor pieces, including headstones and monuments because it is the most durable
natural stone and stands up well to weather changes. Granite is long-lasting and creates a beautiful, unique ambiance in any
environment.
Natural Stone Concepts Llc. is a direct supplier of marble and granite. We import our material internationally from various
countries which include: Italy , Spain , Greece , Brazil , China and India . We have a large inventory and extensive selection for all
of our marble and granite products.
3.- How to Protect Your Marble and Granite
At Natural Stone Concepts Llc. we believe that protecting your marble and granite material is an important way to ensure
product lifetime and maintain original quality. Here are some ideas on protecting your natural stone:
The most popular method of protecting natural stone is by applying a sealer. When choosing your sealer remember that
solvent based sealers work much better than water based ones. A sealer works by penetrating into the pores of the stone and
building an invisible barrier that allows for easier cleaning, protection against scratching/stains and creating a harder, less
slippery surface. Sealers are easy to apply and take only a few hours to effectively dry. For best results, it is recommended that
sealers be re-applied once a year for bathrooms and every six months for kitchen countertops. A good rule of thumb to follow is
the more traffic on the granite or marble surface, the more frequently you should apply the sealer. Areas that typically see more
traffic include kitchen sinks and prep surfaces near stovetops. Once the sealer is applied, there is no visible difference to the
clarity or beauty of the marble or granite. For stubborn stains it is best to consult with a professional, but most require using
liquid poultice.
