Choosing to redesign your home or business premises is, by all accounts, a big decision. The material you select will become a permanent part of your property and everyday life, so there’s more than a bit of pressure to get it right.

Thankfully, you can’t go wrong with natural stone which, as we’ve shown, allows you to make a superb statement in numerous ways. But again, you’re still left with a decision to make: which type of stone is best for you?

Our spotlight series is dedicated to guiding you towards the ideal material – whatever your needs, tastes or design visions might be. This week we focus on the most prestigious member of the natural stone family: Marble.

Few materials can match marble for beauty

Marble has that special head-turning effect – a smooth, silky form that puts it right up there alongside the most magnificent-looking materials on the market.

Boasting an uncanny ability to brighten up a bathroom or kitchen worktop, marble is also a fine choice for commercial premises – adding an irresistible sense of grandeur to surroundings. If it’s luxury you seek, look no further. 

Marble maintenance is relatively simple

The velvety texture and porous nature of marble means that day-to-day maintenance is simple. A damp cloth will often suffice for wiping away any accidental spills that might befall your marble unit.

Bacteria won’t collect on top of marble in quite the same way as with other surfaces either, rendering this stone as hygienic in practice as it is in appearance.  

A flexible stone that facilitates design

Marble is considered a “soft” stone; belonging to a subcategory of materials that are much easier to mould than others. As a result, marble can be shaped to fit in with your design preferences rather easily, especially when you have installation experts like RC Coppin doing all the heavy lifting.

This sense of flexibility also extends to appearance – with marble readily available in a wide variety of different tones, shades and forms. We have countless varieties in our showroom to inspire you…

Resilient in the face of high temperatures

Given how it’s the glossiest member of the natural stone group, some people believe marble is as delicate in structure as it is in looks. Whilst it won’t withstand intense physical pressure in the same vein as say, granite, it boasts admirable heat resistance properties.

This makes it an ideal choice for busy kitchens and steam-filled bathrooms, retaining its integrity and gorgeous appearance no matter how high you crank up the temperature.
