What is cultured marble?

Cultured marble is a man-made material that is commonly used for countertops, vanities, shower walls, and other types of surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens. It is a blend of marble dust, resins, pigments, and other materials that are poured into molds and then set to create a solid surface.

Cultured marble has a smooth and glossy finish that resembles natural marble, but is generally more affordable and easier to maintain. It is also more durable and resistant to staining and scratching than natural marble.

One of the main advantages of cultured marble is that it can be manufactured in a wide variety of colors and patterns, allowing for customization to suit different design preferences. It is also non-porous, making it resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria growth.

However, like natural marble, cultured marble can be prone to chipping and scratching if not properly cared for. It is recommended to clean cultured marble surfaces regularly with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to maintain its appearance and longevity.
