Marble stone countertops are metamorphic rocks with natural beautiful textures and luster. They are a high-end decorative material suitable for users who pursue unique beauty and texture. As an engineering stone, quartz has extremely high hardness, wear resistance and stain resistance.

From the perspective of durability and maintenance, quartz countertops are obviously superior to marble countertops. Quartz stone is more scratch-resistant and stain-resistant, not easily corroded by acidic substances, and easier to clean.

The surface of artificial marble is usually polished to form a smooth and dense outer layer. This surface layer has good anti-fouling and anti-penetration capabilities in the early stage, which can effectively prevent the penetration of liquids or dyes. Therefore, the newly installed artificial marble stone countertops are not easy to be stained in the short term.

Generally, terrazzo stone has a higher hardness, which can reach about 6-7 on the Mohs hardness. The hardness of marble stone is lower, usually between 3-4 on the Mohs hardness. Therefore, in terms of hardness, terrazzo stone is significantly better than marble stone.
