Kitchen Countertops

Choosing Kitchen Countertops

Natural stone countertops, such as granite, marble, and quartzite, offer a timeless elegance and remarkable strength. Each slab carries its own color variations and patterns, meaning your countertop is truly one of a kind. That level of individuality has long appealed to homeowners looking for something with character and depth. In high-use areas like kitchens, stone also stands up to daily wear. With proper care, it can last for decades without losing its appeal… sometimes even longer. For example, the Parthenon- the marble building atop our namesake- is about 2,500 years old! While that’s an extreme example, it does go to show you the strength and durability of natural stone.

Functionality is just as important as appearance. Stone offers a dense, durable surface that resists heat, scratches, and stains better than most alternatives. And no matter what your kitchen tasks are, a stone countertop gives you the space and support you need. Beyond durability, many customers appreciate the cool touch of natural stone, especially in warmer months. Bakers especially are drawn to marble to help protect the butter in their dough from melting thanks to its natural cooling properties.

One of the biggest decisions comes down to choosing the right type of stone. Granite is prized for its rugged performance and wide range of colors, while marble offers a soft, classic look that suits both traditional and transitional kitchens. Quartzite brings a combination of durability and visual interest, often resembling marble but with increased hardness. The Akropolis Marble & Granite team works closely with each client to explain the options and help match materials with style preferences and lifestyle needs.
