Marble Custom Countertops

Marble is a timeless and elegant material that can elevate the look of any home. It has been used for centuries for sculptures, flooring, building walls, and, of course, countertops. At Sheppard’s Countertops & Floors in Benton, LA, we specialize in providing the very best marble countertops to our customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.

Marble is a form of limestone that is created deep below the surface due to extreme amounts of heat and pressure. It is known for its unique veining and colors, which vary depending on the type of marble and the location where it was quarried. Marble countertops are a popular choice for homeowners, designers, and architects because of their beauty and durability.

However, it's important to note that marble is a porous material, which means it can stain and etch easily. This is something to consider when deciding if marble is the right choice for your home. If you're someone who loves to cook and frequently uses acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar, you may want to consider a different material for your countertops.

How to Care for Marble Countertops

If you do decide to go with marble countertops, it's important to know how to care for them to keep them looking beautiful for years to come. Here are some tips:

  • Clean up spills immediately. Marble is porous, so if you spill anything on it, it can seep into the surface and cause a stain. Use a soft cloth and a gentle cleanser to wipe up spills as soon as they happen.
  • Use coasters and trivets. To prevent etching and scratches, use coasters under glasses and trivets under hot pans and dishes.
  • Avoid harsh cleaners. Acidic or abrasive cleaners can damage the surface of marble countertops. Stick to gentle cleansers and avoid anything with vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Seal your countertops. To protect your marble countertops from stains, it's a good idea to have them professionally sealed. This will help prevent liquids from seeping into the surface.
