January 13, 2021 Posted by Usa-Tile 13 JAN Many people begin spring cleaning projects this time of year, and some take it a step further and redecorate or even remodel their home. The kitchen and the bathroom are among the home renovation projects that will give you the biggest return on your investment. Upgrading those rooms will definitely help boost the value of your home. When thinking of ways to give those rooms a new look, more than likely, your plans include new countertops and flooring. It’s decision time. Should you go with a marble floor or a granite floor? We can help you decide between the two. The Differences Between Marble and Granite Both of these stones are excellent flooring and countertop choices and would add elegance to any room of your house. But there are some differences we want to share with you. Think granite versus marble. About Marble Marble is timeless, beautiful, and classy. It’s made from limestone, and it’s very versatile. It comes in many colors and no stone is the same. But you have to be careful if you spill anything on it, especially oil or wine, which could stain it. Wipe up any spills immediately. You will also need to have marble sealed occasionally. However, the benefits of marble far outweigh any issues. Benefits of Marble Flooring Water Resistant – Because marble is water-resistant, it works well in high moisture rooms. High Finished Look – It’s elegant and beautiful, and will give any room a burst of elegance and energy. Easy to Clean – You can easily clean it with mild soap and water or a marble cleaner. Very Durable – Because it’s a natural stone, its scratch-resistant and is very durable. Allergen-Free/Pet-Friendly – Many types of flooring harbor all types of allergens, such as pollen and dust, but not marble flooring. About Granite Granite, an igneous rock, is another excellent choice. And like marble, it has to be occasionally sealed. And there are also many benefits to a granite floor. Benefits of Granite Flooring Very Durable – Like marble, granite is also often described as being very durable, and it’s resistant to scratches, cracks, chips, and stains. Easy to Clean and Maintain – If sealed, all you need to do is to regularly mop it lightly with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Hypoallergenic – Flooring, especially carpeting, for example, can be the biggest cause of allergens. Granite floors, like marble floors, is one of the best types of floors for allergies or asthma.
