Marble is a popular choice for kitchen worktops and surfaces in homes across the world. But what are the commercial applications of lightweight marble? This beautiful and enduring stone has a range of uses in the commercial sector, including bars, restaurants and more.

What Are The Benefits Of Lightweight Marble?

For commercial uses, such as in bars, entrance halls and lifts, lightweight marble has a number of advantages over other materials like wood or stainless steel in customer facing situations.

1. Durable – Lightweight marble is one of the most durable natural stones. This durability makes it perfectly suited to areas with high traffic or prone to wear and tear – especially bar tops!
2. Heat Resistant – Stone counter tops and the like are heat resistant. This is beneficial to areas such as bars or restaurant counters where hot food or drinks will be served. This provides a hardwearing surface for your staff to use whilst creating a comfortable and stylish environment for your customers.
3. Easy To Maintain – Hard stone surfaces like granite are very easy to maintain. Unlike other materials,  marble and granite only needs an initial treatment to improve its already formidable toughness. In many cases, a marble bar will outlast the building it is situated in. It is also scratch and stain resistant making it an excellent choice for countertops.
4. Easy To Clean – In areas where food and drink are being served, it is essential that surfaces are easy to clean. Lightweight marble can be easily with just a quick wipe ensuring a pleasant and sanitary environment.
5. Beautiful – Used by architects and sculptors for millennia, marble is one of the most attractive stones used in outfitting commercial buildings. Featuring intricate patterns found in the natural grain of the stone, it comes in a large variety of colours so you’ll be sure to find lightweight marble to suit any business’ decor. Adding marble work surfaces to your business can also lend the building an atmosphere of upmarket class.
