Is Marble the way to go?  Do I like Granite more?  How much is going to cost me? Can I afford it?  Am I going to like it?  Is my installer 100% qualify?  I live in New Jersey, where can I get a Marble and Granite installer?

Most people ask me the same question time and time again. "Should I use Marble or Granite for my bathroom remodeling project?, and my answer is always the same one. "You should use what you like best".

After all both stones are natural and durable. But, and there is always a but, there are some major distinctions and differences between Marble and Granite.

Granite is very durable and it's polish is all natural, but is much more pores than Marble due to it's quartz composition content, and it needs to be sealed once a year. Granite happens to be very hard and it will take the punishment that Marble wont.

Marble is not as hard and durable as Granite and it's polish is not natural, it needs acid and a compound to make it shine. But on the other hand is very dense in composition and less pores, making it less prone to moisture filtration after installation.

However, the most important factor that should be consider is, who is going to be installing the Marble or Granite. Is this person knowledgeable, experienced and talented enough to flawlessly performed the job?

The installation process requires a high level of experience, expertise and talent. Always make sure to consider price and budget, but please don't cheat your self out of talent, experience and quality.

So, what should you install in your new bathroom, Marble or Granite? My personal opinion is that Marble is the way to go.

Marble is beautiful and delicate, and is much more bathroom friendly than granite. Granite is more for a kitchen, it's hardness makes it ideal for the constant use and abuse that it can get in a kitchen. Marble is more dense, making it more water impermeable. 

To end, Marble or Granite is a good pick either way. You should be the judge of that.
