Marble

Marble has been used to make statues and provide flooring since ancient times and is frequently used as a countertop material because of its beautiful, smooth, cool surface. Marble is less porous and slightly stronger than limestone, but softer and less durable than granite. Marble has several types of finishes that can make it more porous and more susceptible to staining.

Considerations for choosing a sealer: Marble has several types of finishes; polished, honed, sawed, sand blasted and tumbled. All of the finishes, other than a polished finish, have had the pores opened making the surface more porous.
