What is the difference between granite slab and marble slab for kitchen countertops?
Granite vs marble for countertops: Hardness - granite 6-7 Mohs vs marble 3-4 (granite more scratch-resistant); Porosity - granite less porous, less sealing; Etching - marble etches from acids, granite does not; Appearance - granite flecked vs marble veined; Maintenance - marble needs more care; Cost - similar at mid-range. PFM offers both materials with expert guidance.
