Marble or granite? Which should you choose?<\/h2>\nMarble or granite? Which should you choose? Marble and granite are two of the most commonly used types of natural stone. Used with thought, they can find a place in many corners of our homes. They bring a touch of nature with a hint of elegance. What do marble and granite have in common, and where do they differ?<\/strong>\n

To give you a better idea, a few words about natural stone<\/h2>\nNatural stone<\/a> is most often used in the final stages of building, or when fitting out a home or business premises. Many people choose rustic stone on facades or as cladding for interior walls, marble or granite on stairs, indoor and outdoor floors in marble and granite, granite on the kitchen worktop and more. There are many options.\n\nThe photo below shows what to look out for when you are choosing between marble and granite. Which property matters most to you?\n\n\"Lastnosti\n

Origin and look of marble and granite<\/h2>\nTo understand them better, we first need to explain how these two stones formed. Marble<\/a> is a metamorphic rock. It formed when limestone or dolomite recrystallised under high pressures and temperatures deep below the earth's surface.\n\nIt is made up of small and larger colourless grains, so it sparkles. It is found mostly in lighter shades (white to light grey, beige and so on). There are exceptions: if it contains haematite, it has a reddish tint.\n\n\"Naravni\n\nGranite<\/a> is one of the best-known igneous rocks. It formed when magma pushed up through cracks towards the earth's surface. Under high pressure, the minerals in the liquid magma crystallised, which gives the rock its characteristic crystalline structure.\n\nGranite has a much wider range of colours, from light grey to black, and also red and green. You can recognise it by its grainy, crystalline look.\n\n\"Neobdelan\n

Properties of marble and granite<\/h2>\nGranite<\/a> is a very hard rock because of the way it formed. It resists all kinds of weather and is less sensitive to changes in temperature and to chemical and mechanical damage. These properties are why it is most often used in construction and on outdoor surfaces in general.\n\nTo give you an idea: granite, in the form of granite setts, was often used to pave roads. In some places it still is today. Granite is also used for headstones, outdoor paving, stairs, window sills, kitchen worktops and more.\n\nIn short, you will find granite mainly on surfaces that face all kinds of weather, and where loads and the risk of mechanical damage are higher.\n\n\"Okenske\n\nMarble, on the other hand, is a softer rock, so it is easier to shape. Its properties mean it is most often used indoors: for stairs, wall cladding, fireplace surrounds, window sills, floors and more.\n\nIf you choose the right thickness, marble can also be used on outdoor surfaces. Because it is made of natural minerals, it does not release toxins or chemical residues into the environment, and it has antibacterial properties, so harmful bacteria do not spread on it.\n\n\"Notranji\n

What about care and maintenance?<\/h2>\nWhat marble and granite have in common is that, with correct handling and care, they last a very long time. Marble needs a little more attention because of its soft structure.\n\nThe best way to clean it is with a soft cloth and water mixed with a mild detergent, provided it has been sealed beforehand. We have prepared a list of tips for caring for and cleaning marble<\/a>, which answers questions about caring for and cleaning marble in detail.\n\nAnd how do you care for granite? Because it is so hard-wearing, caring for granite is very simple. Regular cleaning and sealing the joints between the slabs is all it needs. Sealing keeps out unwanted stains and liquids.\n\nWant to know more?
