Granite and marble are both beautiful natural stones. They are different in strength, look and care. Here is an easy way to choose.
Strength
Granite is harder. It resists scratches and heat, so it is a top choice for kitchens. Marble is softer. It can scratch and can stain from acids like lemon juice, so it needs more care.
Look
Granite has a speckled, grainy look in colours like black, grey, gold and red. Marble has soft flowing veins and a bright, elegant look, often in white, beige and green.
Best places to use each
- Kitchen countertops: granite
- Living room and hotel floors: marble
- Bathroom walls: marble
- Outdoor steps and paving: granite
Care
Granite is easy to care for. Wipe it clean and seal it once in a while. Marble needs a good sealer and quick clean-up of spills.
