Elegant timeless beauty marble.
Is marble and limestone cheaper than granite.
Limestone imported from other countries is often light or even dark red brown or black.
Granite can be found in many different styles and colors some more muted and others on the bolder side.
These factors influence the final price of the stone so although limestone is generally more affordable a rare limestone that s travelled a long way may be more expensive than a local marble.
Marble is not for everybody though.
Types of granite.
It is a softer stone than granite is and it scratches and stains.
However high end marble tends to be more expensive than equivalent high end granite.
Costs vary according to color and general appearance.
Wipe with a clean damp cloth if dirty.
Each slab of granite varies in color over its surface so each slab is unique.
Comparing marble and granite head to head in important categories will assist you in deciding which stone to use in your building or renovation project.
I like materials that age and show wear.
Select limestone with mineral dolomite present as this type of limestone can be polished and is harder than other types of limestone.
Granite and marble countertops both cost around 40 to 150 per square foot including the cost of installation.
These are both beautiful options for countertops.
It s an inherent characteristic of the material and frankly it s part of why i like it so much.
