Marble is a natural stone, so it can scratch if exposed to abrasive materials or heavy friction. To prevent scratches, use felt pads under furniture, avoid dragging objects across the surface, and never clean with abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. With the right care, marble surfaces stay beautiful for decades.

Yes, because marble is porous, it can absorb liquids like wine, lemon juice, or coffee if not wiped immediately. The best protection is sealing the marble periodically with a professional stone sealer. This creates a protective barrier and significantly reduces staining.

Marble offers unmatched natural beauty, unique veining, and a luxurious appearance. Porcelain is more resistant to scratches, heat, and chemical cleaners. Marble is ideal for high-end residential projects, while porcelain works well in high-traffic commercial settings. The right choice depends on how the surface will be used.

Marble maintenance is simple when you use the right products. Clean daily with pH-neutral cleaners or mild soap and water. Avoid acidic products like vinegar, lemon-based cleaners, or bleach, as they can etch the surface. Regular sealing helps maintain shine and protects against stains.

Yes, many natural stones are perfectly suitable for outdoor use. Travertine, limestone, granite, and certain marble types perform very well depending on the surface finish (tumbled, honed, brushed). Travertine is especially popular for pool decks, patios, and pathways because of its slip resistance and cool surface.

Each natural stone slab forms over millions of years, shaped by minerals, pressure, and environmental conditions. This geological process creates unique colors and veining patterns—meaning no two marble slabs are ever identical. This uniqueness adds character and value to every project. Hurok Marble carefully selects matched slabs to ensure visual harmony.
