A: Polished, semi-polished, acid-washed, lychee/flame-treated, brushed, sandblasted, etc.; polished or semi-polished finishes are most commonly chosen for countertops.
Q4: What is the difference between granite and marble?
A: Granite is hard, has low water absorption, and is resistant to acids, alkalis, and freezing; it is suitable for outdoor use and kitchen countertops. Marble has beautiful patterns but is sensitive to acids; it is mostly used for interior decoration and crafts.
Q5: For which outdoor applications are large granite slabs suitable?
A: Plaza paving, steps, dry-hung exterior walls, curtain walls, tombstones, landscape stones, etc.; flamed or lychee finishes offer better slip resistance.
Q6: Should I choose marble or granite for kitchen countertops? What is the appropriate thickness?
A: Granite is the preferred choice for kitchens (as it is wear-resistant, heat-resistant, and easy to maintain); marble is suitable for decorative applications with low usage frequency. Common thicknesses are 20/30 mm; use 30 mm for islands or cantilevered countertops.
Q7: How should marble/granite countertops be maintained?
A: Apply a penetrating sealant (granite: once every 1–2 years; marble requires more frequent application), wipe with a neutral cleaner, and avoid direct contact with acids, alkalis, or hot pots.
