Cultured Marble

Cultured marble, faux marble or artificial marble is a mixture of stone particles, resin, and color pigments. The mixture is coated in a special gel that adds a protective layer, making it a transparent and hard surface.

Why do Customers Prefer Cultured Marble?

Cultured marble dries quickly because of its non-porous nature. Any spills or excess liquid can easily be mopped up. It is also mold and mildew-resistant. Cultured marble is formed in molds and is lighter than pure marble, making it easier to install. The lower installation cost of cultured marble significantly brings down construction costs. It is more durable than natural stone, with less chance of chipping or damage. It is a non-porous surface, permitting no air or liquid to pass through it. So it won't absorb liquid and is stain-resistant.

Cultured marble is easy to clean and care for. Non-abrasive cultured marble cleaners and a soft cloth are enough to keep it glistening. Regularly using cultured marble polish maintains its fresh look. It is designed to look like natural marble and to have similar properties but with a lower price tag. It is efficient to get a high-end finish on a budget. It does not need sealing because its manufacturing process makes it much less porous than natural marble. Cultured marble is a cast product that can be molded into various patterns and designs. It can be crafted to install sinks, countertops, and showers without seams. It is also customizable.

How can Cultured Marble be Used?

Cultured marble is excellent for cultured marble shower walls. It's hygienic, low-maintenance, and easy to clean. Cultured marble showers don't have grout lines and very few seams. The surface is also made slip-resistant to provide safety. In the kitchen, cultured marble countertops are tough enough to withstand heavy use, easy to maintain, and repairable. Furthermore, the non-porous finish makes cultured marble an extremely sanitary workstation.

In bathrooms, cultured marble vanity tops provide a functional countertop space for placing bathroom essentials like a sink, faucet, soap dispenser, and other personal items. Also, a cultured marble pedestal sink takes less space and creates an open, airy feel in the bathroom. Cultured marble can be used to surround bathtubs or make an entire bathtub. Jacuzzis can be made of cultured marble, too.
