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.

For which outdoor applications are large granite slabs suitable?

Plaza paving, steps, dry-hung exterior walls, curtain walls, tombstones, landscape stones, etc.; flamed or lychee finishes offer better slip resistance.

Should I choose marble or granite for kitchen countertops? What is the appropriate thickness?
