Amazing Properties of Graphite and Marbles
1. Heat Resistant
Graphite and Marble have a good amount of heat-resistant capabilities that avoid kitchen heat absorption. They are designed to withstand high temperatures without significant damage or warping.
2. Stains can be washed easily
The kitchen is mostly full of veggies and fruits left over and it can give stains very easily on anything. But when it comes to Graphite and marble, they do not lock the stain permanently and can be easily washed just by water.
However, they are also not 100% stain-proof, especially Marble. It is more porous and can accumulate stains on it which can go deep to multiple layers inside easily as compared to graphite which is not much porous, if the top layer of it is not sealed properly.
Thus we can also say Marble requires more maintenance than Graphite.
3. Premium and Lucrative Look
Graphite and Marble offers an unmatched look and feel when it comes to Premium and Overtop arrangements. This is from centuries, all the important palaces that you can observe which offer a rich culture and heritage are made up of marble, a simple example would be the Taj Mahal.
