 Is Marble a Good Choice for Countertops?

Definitely! Aside from adding subtle luxury to your kitchen, Jennings’ marble laminates can help you achieve the kitchen aesthetic you crave as well as make your space appear more classy and stylish. Also, it has major benefits over the real stuff.

Affordability

Marble is a natural stone that’s known to be notoriously expensive. Some can afford the real stuff but it can be prohibited for use in renovation projects based on the government’s rules and regulations. Jennings’ marble laminates, however, are available for a fraction of the cost, allowing anyone to incorporate marble into their homes.

Ease of Installation

Jennings’ marble laminates are easy to install if you let your interior designer find the right hire to complete the job. Real marble, on the other hand, requires wit and manpower as the real stuff is likely to be heavier than any of your marble laminate combined.

Cleanliness

Unlike real marble which has a porous structure, Jennings’ high-pressure marble laminates are highly durable against scratches, impacts, and water infiltration thanks to its non-porous structure. That way, you can use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface to keep it clean.

Marble Cleaning Tips

When it comes to maintaining your marble laminate countertop, it’s important to know how to clean it the right way to keep it looking stylish. The best way to keep them clean is to wipe the spills immediately as the longer it stays on your countertop, the more likely it is to stain.

For your daily cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild liquid detergent to remove all the food grease and grime. That way, it won’t lead to unsightly build-ups. Avoid using too much water on your kitchen counter, especially near the seams as it can penetrate and cause your marble laminate to swell and crack.

To remove stains from your kitchen countertop, mix a bit of baking soda with a mild household cleaner and apply them to the spot. Let it sit for a few minutes before you rinse the spot with a soft cloth. Another way you can remove the stains is to rub the spot with a cotton ball moistened with bleach. Make sure to rinse and dry the spot afterwards.As an affordable alternative for your home’s interior, marble laminates can enhance any space with their stylish appearance and clean lines.
