Two Drawbacks of Calacatta Black Vein Marble as a Kitchen Worktop.

Although marble’s eternal looks stand the test of time, there are two main cons of using the material as a kitchen worktop that we highlight below. Nevertheless, and despite these two instances, marble is perfectly suitable for kitchens when its users care minimally for it. As a result, marble has remained a favourite worktop material amongst architects, interior designers and building specialists for centuries.

1. Practicality: Whilst marble is practical for shaping and installation, other materials such as quartz, porcelain and granite offer more practical maintenance.
2. Etching: Marble contains calcium carbonate, the substance in our teeth that the dentist says may get ruined when consuming too much lemon. It makes it susceptible to acidic substances such as lemon and oranges. Therefore, marble can react to acids by presenting it as a ‘stain’ you cannot remove, known as ‘etching’. The good news is that you can remove marble’s top layer by repolishing its fascia.

How to Combine Calacatta Black Marble

When it comes to kitchen worktops, there are many different ways that you can combine Calacatta Black Vein marble. One popular method is to use an upstand. It is a strip of marble that runs along the back of the countertop and can help give the space a more finished look.

Another option is to use Calacatta black marble as a backsplash. Again, it can help to create a beautiful and unique look for your kitchen. Finally, you can also use Calacatta black marble on the floors. It will create a luxurious and stylish look for your home.

When it comes to bathroom surfaces, Calacatta Black is an excellent choice to use as worktops, walls and floors. The polished, black marble is highly resistant to stains and scratches and offers high heat resistance. Another benefit of this white and black marble worktop is that it is not tricky to install or maintain. In addition, you can combine it with other natural materials such as light or dark wood or pure black granite to create a beautiful contrast in the room.

Use & Care of Marble

Caring for Calacatta Black Vein marble doesn’t take your time, thanks to the marble’s low porosity. First, our teams seal the marble slabs upon delivery before processing them for fabrication. Then, after cutting the worktops, our installation teams seal your marble worktops again, ensuring there are no unprotected areas.

Cleaning: Clean the countertop with a gentle dish detergent or a PH-neutral cleaner to keep it looking new. You’ll enjoy the best when cleaning with warm water and a damp towel while softly caressing the work surface’s top layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry the worktop to remove any residues.

Below are five simple recommendations to help you keep your Panonazzo marble worktops in excellent condition over time:

• If any liquids spill on the worktop, clean them up immediately.
• Avoid putting scorching items straight on the countertop. Instead, we recommend using a trivet to avoid scratching the stone.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as metal scouring pads. Instead, carefully stroke the surface with a kitchen sponge.
• Don’t use alkaline cleaners and very acidic chemicals to minimise damage to the marble’s surface.
