Granite And Marble Both Have Their Own Advantages

[Radha Madhav Marbles]

Marble and granite are two popular natural stones used in the construction industry for a long time. The both stones have their advantages and disadvantages over each other.

 

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of carbonate materials which is formed when limestone in the earth’s crust is subjected to high temperature and pressure. The stone  undergoes a metamorphosis stage where the calcite in the limestone recrystallizes and forms calcite crystals changing the texture of the rock and making marble.

Granite is a granular igneous rock with a phaneritic texture, formed by the slow crystallization of the magma under the surface of the earth.

 

Granite and marble both have their advantages over each other.

 

Hardness and longetivity:

Granite is known as the most durable natural stone and compared to marble, it is  harder and stronger.

 

Reactivity to Acidic substance:

The metamorphic attributes of marble makes it more porous and it is easily stained from acidic liquids. On the other hand, granite is much more resistant towards stains.

 

Applications: 

Because of the durability of granite, it is appropriate for kitchen countertops and hallways but marble's bright, unique look is more apt for surfaces that are used less frequently.

 

Cost:

The approximate cost for both granite and marble is almost the same. Though high end granite is cheaper, the actual price depends on the quality of the stone.

 

Now you know all the properties of both stones and how their qualities are different. For final selection, you need to consider what you want. You should go for marble if you need a good and affordable design, but going for granite is better if you are looking for a long term durable solution.
