Marble is beautiful for kitchens but etches with acids. Many buyers choose honed marble or pivot to quartzite when they want a similar look with greater hardness. Marble excels in bathrooms and low-acid environments.
Slabs are used for seamless countertops and feature walls; tile formats suit floors and backsplashes at lower cost. Slab fabrication requires templating and CNC cutting; tile installs on prepared substrates with grout joints.
