Natural Stone building materials work amazingly well for both commercial and residential projects. Sustainable, durable, and gorgeous materials can make any design just perfect. Granite kitchen countertops, marble flooring tile, quartz kitchen islands, and sandstone outside steps — natural stone materials can fulfill any demand when it comes to design and construction. But despite its greatness, there’re many myths around natural stone. In last week’s Xiamen Aofei Building Materials blog article, our experts have already debunked some of the most spread-out myths about natural stone. Today, we’ll continue!

Natural Stone is Very Expensive

Although natural stone is commonly used in upscale projects and luxury designs, it does not mean that it is unaffordable for smaller budgets. The cost can vary depending on many factors, such as the type of stone, demand and availability, and rarity. Sometimes natural stone slabs are even cheaper than artificial and manmade materials. 

Natural Stone Surfaces are Easy to Stain

How easily a material stains also depends on many factors, for example, porosity, finish, color, and polishing. And while granite won’t stain much and thus widely used in kitchens and baths, marble is more porous and will stain easier. But even with marble, as long as you clean up the spills straight away and take care of the surfaces, your marble countertops and table will stay perfect for decades.
