How to install marble countertops in the kitchen?
Installing marble countertops is not super hard but there are a few issues that need to be considered. As marble is a natural stone with a solid and inflexible nature, it can break or crack when not installed properly on a non-flat surface. Also, since it comes in 2- 3 cm thickness, it requires a solid base to carry the weight and support the marble. But how do we install it? So, shall we start? Make your safety equipment ready!
- First is first. Get rid of the old countertops and set marble-applied-to-be space free. Then ensure that the cabinets are level and flat.
- Measure the cabinet. Accordingly, create a wood template with a thickness of 5/8 out of plywood to test soon if the marble cut is done perfectly.
- Place the template on the marble slab, mark it, and start cutting. Apply consistent pressure without forcing anything. Also, while cutting, go slow and be patient. This stage is time-consuming, so get into the right mindset before starting. One trick to get things done faster is to add water, which will pace up the process.
- Before installing a marble slab, first, install the plywood template to earn a flat surface. Then, test the pre-cut marble slab to see if it fits. If it doesn’t keep making cuts until it fits. While carrying the marble slab, keep it vertical to prevent it from cracking.
When you are ready to install the marble, generously apply silicone to the plywood surface, which will serve as an adhesive. Delicately place the marble countertop on the plywood.

Which marble is best for kitchen countertops?
White marbles countertops are recommended more as they are better at hiding white marks resulting from an acid etching. Plus, these marks can even trick you and make believe you that they were always there, building a more organic look and lived-in feel. Also, it is much easier to match white kitchen countertops with the rest of the kitchen design. If you pick something with more pronounced veins, you can even make a bolder statement with marble countertops and achieve a more definitive look.
Marble Countertop Finishes
Speaking of the finishes, thanks to advanced technology, there is a variety of finishing and brushing techniques, which are also applied to marble countertops. The most common ones are honed, tumbled, and polished finishes. While honed and tumbled marbles with matte finish offer a more organic feel and texture, the polished ones add a bit of glow with a sleek and glazed look. Depending on the kitchen design, you can choose one of these to create a continuous design. In a farmhouse kitchen, for instance, a honed marble would project that cottage feeling much better. On the contrary, the polished marble can be a better fit in transitional kitchens that favor a bit of glam to accompany brass or chrome finish accents.
White Cabinets with Honed Marble Kitchen Countertops
White cabinets with honed marble kitchen countertops make a great pair while providing a seamless look in the meantime. The natural look of the honed marble brings an organic softness to the kitchen.

How to care for marble countertops in the kitchen?
Though durable and heat resistant, it requires delicate care and sealing to last long. Marble is susceptible to staining, scratches, and etching, thus requiring a bit more complicated care routines. The simplest things to follow are using a cutting board while engaged with a knife and keeping the abrasive cleaners away from the countertops. Acidic products, for example, leave white marks and etch marble surfaces. Secondly, sealing marble countertops at least once a year is an important part of the marble care routines to prevent spills and drills from sinking into the marble. Thirdly, wiping the spillage before it dries up or sets down into marble is another important trick.

Stay away from any acidic cleaners such as lemon-based ones, vinegar, and bleach that etch the marble. It is also important to consult your manufacturer about what to do when faced with a stubborn stain that doesn’t leave the surface.

What are the disadvantages of marble countertops?
Anything extremely beautiful, unfortunately, comes with disadvantages. The same goes for the marble countertops too. As marble is a natural stone with porous skin, it can absorb the stains and grease that penetrates the marble texture easily, leading to bacterial growth. It is also prone to etching and scratching, thus requiring careful and delicate treatment.
