Natural stone has been used in architecture and design for centuries, revered for its beauty, durability, and timeless appeal. Yet, despite its popularity, there are countless myths and misconceptions about marble and other natural stones that may leave homeowners hesitant to incorporate them into their spaces. Today, we’re separating fact from fiction to help you feel confident in choosing the right stone for your project.
MYTH #1: MARBLE IS TOO FRAGILE FOR EVERYDAY USE
One of the most common misconceptions about marble is that it’s too delicate for everyday use. While it’s true that marble is softer than granite, this doesn’t mean it can’t handle the rigors of daily life. Proper sealing and regular maintenance can significantly enhance its durability and resistance to stains and scratches. With the proper care, marble countertops, flooring, and bathroom surfaces can last for decades, offering a luxurious look that’s hard to match.

MYTH #2: NATURAL STONES ARE TOO HIGH MAINTENANCE
Many people believe that natural stones, especially marble and limestone, require constant upkeep. The reality is that maintenance is often overstated. Regular cleaning with pH-neutral cleaners and resealing as recommended are usually all that’s needed to keep your stone looking its best. Advances in sealant technology have made natural stones more resilient than ever, making maintenance easier and less time-consuming than you might think.
Our MORE Sealer Warranty ensures long-term protection for your natural stone surfaces. This warranty guarantees top-notch sealing that extends the lifespan of your stone and reduces the frequency of maintenance.
MYTH #3: MARBLE AND OTHER NATURAL STONES STAIN EASILY
There’s a pervasive belief that natural stones are highly prone to staining. While stones like marble and travertine are porous, sealing them effectively creates a barrier that minimizes absorption and makes them less susceptible to stains. For spills like wine or oil, quick clean-up is key, but the idea that these stones are unmanageable is far from the truth. Granite, quartzite, and engineered stones like quartz are even more resistant to staining, giving you plenty of options for both style and practicality.
With the combination of our Granite Gold Protection Plan and MORE Sealer Warranty, you can enjoy your natural stone worry-free, knowing it’s safeguarded against common issues like staining and etching.
