Many people are intrigued by the idea of using marble kitchen worktops because it is visually appealing, but its several drawbacks make customers dilemmatic. Because white Carrara marble is a fragile and porous stone, it is prone to staining and requires frequent upkeep. Carrara quartz is an excellent man-made substitute for natural Carrara marble, popularly quarried in Italy. It is manufactured artificially by mixing 93% natural quartz and 7% polymer resins plus color pigments. They are manufactured in such a way that when being used for countertops they do not require sealants or additional treatments. For a busy place like a kitchen that comes in contact with citric acid juices from lemons and various other vegetable and fruit extracts, knives and forks, heavy appliances etc daily, this becomes a major advantage. The flexible resins make the surface exceptionally resistant to cracking and chipping.

This high-end quartz surface not only looks like real marble but is also devoid of the calciferous stone issues exhibited by it. One quality that makes it better than marble is that it has a non-porous surface that does not absorb moisture. As a result, the surfaces become highly resistant to stains and etch. Another major benefit of this non-porosity is they prevent microorganisms from entering, making them one of the most hygienic options for kitchen worktops.

So, this gorgeous material not just limits itself to a marble-like look with a similar veining pattern on its white surface but also exhibits durability like that of granite.
