Design Dilemma Kitchens

Can we use marble for the kitchen worktop ?

2 years ago

I am remodelling my kitchen, contractor suggested quartz, but it's very expensive. I prefer light colors so granite doesn't match. Can we use marble ?

Hi Heloise,

You can go for composite stones that are available these days in the market. These are artificial stone in various finishes and colors.

Marble generally is not suitable for the kitchen counters, as it has high absorption property. You can use it but with epoxy coating, if there is no other alternative.

Query is 2 months old, I donot know if my suggestion will help anymore.

I understand the costing of composite stone is deterrent.

For having a light colour finish on kitchen counter, you can look at a new product in market offered by Kajaria called Kajaria Vitronite available in the size of 800x2400/3000 size. I have used in one of my project an year back, its stainfree & easy to maintain.

Any tile fixing guy can fix it, reasonably priced.

Check it out before deciding!

Your quartz should be installed on a level surface. But there are a couple of ways to make this happen. For one, you may be able to place shims under the cabinets to level the tops. Or, you might opt to put plywood over the cabinets placing shims underneath the plywood as needed. Greetings from Aura

Hello,

You can probably go for non branded quartz where few are equally as good as the quartz by brands such as agl or kalinga. Another option would be full body tile by reputed tile brands such as somany/kajaria.
