Questions we get asked
- Is Italian marble always better than Chinese marble?
- No. The country of origin is not a quality grade. Italian and Chinese suppliers can both offer good and poor stone, so compare the actual slab, thickness, finish, and how well it suits the space.
- Will Chinese marble look cheaper than Italian marble?
- Not necessarily. Some stones from different places can look very similar, and a Chinese slab may have a clean pattern and good polish. Look at the piece in person, not just the label on the quote.
- Is Chinese marble less durable than Italian marble?
- Durability depends more on the type of marble and its quality than on the country name. Both Chinese and Italian marble can scratch, etch, or stain if used without proper care, sealing, and installation.
