UEL Granite & Marble Limited is a renowned granite countertops installer in Kampala and supplier of quartz countertops in Uganda that have helped many homeowners achieve a lustrous look with the addition of granite to their homes. <\/h4><\/p>\n<p><span>Marble is one of those materials that most easily enchant anyone.\u00a0No matter what environment, whether it is on the floor, on the walls or on a bench, it always steals the spotlight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And the best part is that there are many types of marble, but the differences between them go beyond color.\u00a0You need to understand its varieties to choose the right type of marble and where it is worth using.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Therefore, in this article I will show you what the difference is from marble to other natural stones, what are the most common types of this beautiful stone and its advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span>What is the difference between marble and other natural stones<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>To the naked eye it may appear that marble is exactly like other natural stones, such as granite.\u00a0In addition, there are already synthetic materials that mimic the consistency and appearance of natural stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So it can be even more complicated to make an accurate assessment just by looking at the stones.\u00a0But the differences are real and can have a direct impact on your works, that is, it is relevant to know what differentiates marble from other types of stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>Granite<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>We don&#8217;t need to be very technical here, but the fact is that both marble and granite are natural stones, but of different formations.\u00a0The biggest differences are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span>Texture<\/span><\/b><span>\u00a0: marble has vein-like marks, while granite is more grainy;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span>Strength<\/span><\/b><span>\u00a0: granite is harder and more resistant than marble.\u00a0But in many cases the strength level of marble will not be an issue;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span>Gloss<\/span><\/b><span>\u00a0: marble has less natural shine than granite.\u00a0Despite this, there are\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sienge.com.br\/acabamentos-de-obras\/\"><span>finishing<\/span><\/a><span>\u00a0processes\u00a0that can solve this;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span>Porosity<\/span><\/b><span>\u00a0: marble is more porous than granite and absorbs more moisture.\u00a0Without proper care, this can cause stains on the stone in case of constant contact with water.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span>Synthetic stones<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Unlike granite, which is also natural, there are synthetic varieties that face marble.\u00a0As they are not of nature, their manufacturing process has a larger scale and, therefore, they are cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite this, they lack the charm and originality of legitimate marble stone.\u00a0Because of this, they do not value the property in the same way that the original piece does.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>5 most common types of marble<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Is marble all the same?\u00a0The simple answer is, no.\u00a0Although the characteristics of the stone are almost the same, there are important variations to consider.\u00a0Here are the main types of the market:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/unitedgranitepa.com\/product-detail\/white-carrara\/\">White Carrara<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Of Italian origin, this stone is one of the most desired because of its light colors that give an aspect of nobility to the environment.\u00a0In addition to the beautiful light color, Carrara is known to have been used in Renaissance works by artists like Michelangelo.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/unitedgranitepa.com\/product-detail\/nero-marquni\/\">Nero<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Unlike Carrara, Nero is a very dark piece with white veins that stand out a lot.\u00a0The origin of Nero marble is Spanish, and as it is very dark it can be ideal for environments that stain more, such as kitchen countertops and bathrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/unitedgranitepa.com\/product-detail\/calacatta-oro-vanato-honed\/\">Calacatta Oro<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Calacatta Oro stone is one of the most valued and, therefore, more expensive due to its clear appearance with gray and golden veins.\u00a0Thus, it is a stone that is very beautiful in any type of environment, from bathrooms to entrance halls.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/unitedgranitepa.com\/products\/natural-stones\/travertine-2\/\">Travertine<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Like Carrara, Travertine is a type of Italian stone.\u00a0The difference is that it is more common in beige colors, not white. However, like Carrara, Travertine is also very porous, which makes it more suitable for indoor environments that have little contact with water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>5. Pigu\u00eas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>This type is Greek and looks a bit like Carrara, since it is clear and with gray veins.\u00a0The difference is that it has a more homogeneous appearance, with less veins than Carrara.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/unitedgranitepa.com\/blog\/know-the-types-of-marble-and-when-to-use-each-one\/\">Know the types of marble and when to use each one<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/unitedgranitepa.com\">United Granite Countertops PA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p><h4>Find the best supplier\/store for granite and marble works, counter tops and terrazzo floor works in Uganda.
