Marble offers warmth and charm to the kitchen. However, it is a delicate and porous material that gets easily dirty and can be damaged by impacts.
From all stones, granite is the best option. Made up from quartz, feldspar and mica, with great durability and beauty, it offers a high resistance to impacts, heat and UV rays. Its only inconvenience is its porosity, which turns it into a sitting duck for stains. This problem is overcome by Sensa - a high-quality natural granite that does not need maintenance as it features a revolutionary protection treatment that provides a high resistance to stains.
