When it comes to selecting a material for home countertops, Valle Nevado Granite vs. White and Black Marble are two popular options. The first is a natural stone with a unique pattern of dark gray and black crystals that can be used in any style kitchen or bathroom. On the other hand, white and black marble offer an elegant look with its classic veining that complements many décors. Valle Nevado is very robust, scratch- and heat-resistant, making it the ideal countertop material for busy kitchens. Despite having strong scratch resistance, marble might be vulnerable to stains if it is not coated properly, thus daily cleaning is crucial. Marble will occasionally need to be polished or buffed to eliminate etchings or surface damage in addition to routine resealing every few years to maintain its perfect appearance.
