The final cost of the worktop also depends on the number of slabs, the edges, cut-outs, measuring, transport and installation. If you want the veins matched across a joint, it can take more slab \u2014 the quote will show it.\"},{\"q\":\"How do I care for a marble worktop day to day?\",\"a\":\"Wipe it with a damp cloth and a pH-neutral stone cleaner, and dry up spills straight away. Seal marble regularly: sealing protects against stains, but it won\u2019t stop acids from etching. A chopping board, trivets and coasters are everyday companions in a marble kitchen.\"},{\"q\":\"What happens if lemon juice or wine gets on marble?\",\"a\":\"Marble is mostly calcite, which acids attack: lemon juice, vinegar, wine or tomato sauce left on the surface leaves a dull, etched patch. It shows more on a polished surface than on a matt one. Light etching can be repaired by honing, but it\u2019s far easier to wipe acidic spills up at once.\"},{\"q\":\"Can I get the marble look from a lower-maintenance material?\",\"a\":\"You can: marble-look quartz<\/a> needs no sealing and isn\u2019t bothered by lemon, so it suits a kitchen where people cook and bake every day. Quartz can\u2019t match the depth of real marble or the uniqueness of each slab, though, so it\u2019s worth seeing both side by side at the showroom.\"},{\"q\":\"Can I see and choose where the veins go before cutting?\",\"a\":\"Yes, both. At our showroom at Vesilennuki 20 in Noblessner you can follow the veining on a full-size photo; the most popular marbles are on display as full slabs. On the drawings we then agree which part of the slab goes on the island and which behind the hob, so the finest vein doesn\u2019t end up in the sink cut-out by accident. Book a time and let us know which marbles you\u2019re interested in.\"}]","_stx_summary":"Marble is a natural stone made mostly of calcite: richly veined, softer than granite, sensitive to acids and in need of regular sealing.
