Granite |
Marbles |
Origin |
Formed by solidification and slow cooling of Magma deep within the earth over a period of millions of years. |
Formed by the transformation of sedimentary rocks due to intense heat and pressure. Marble originates as limestone and transforms into marble. |

Content |
Granite consists of mainly Feldspar and Quartz which are extremely hard minerals. |
Consists of Calcium Carbonate, which is relatively softer. |
Appearance |
Flecking throughout the stone. |
Colorful veins that swirl through the stone |
Strength and Durability |
Has a hardness of 6 – 7 on the Mohs scale. Compressive strength is ranging from 1050 to 1358 kg/cm2. Resists scratches, damage from heat, and stain |
Has a hardness of 3 – 5 on the Mohs scale. Compressive strength is ranging from 827 to 1020 kg/cm2. It will suffer damage and can stain |
Stain Resistance |
Inherent stain resisting properties virtually resists all stains from foods and liquids. |
The metamorphic attributes result in a more porous material. Some foods or liquids such as tomato sauce, wine, juice, lemons, and vinegar will absorb into marble and cause permanent staining. |
Sealant |
Apply a fresh coat of sealant once a year or once in 3 years depending on the type of sealer used. |
Reseal marble at least twice each year. |
Care |
Clean sealed granite counters regularly with plain soapy water to keep the surfaces clean and beautiful. Rinse away the soap completely. |
Marble surfaces require more careful cleaning to avoid damaging the porous stone. Use a cleaning product with neutral pH to avoid discolouring the marble. Do not use an abrasive cleanser, because you could dull the finish. |
