Granite vs Marble: Which Is Better for Indian Homes?

Granite vs marble is the classic flooring and countertop debate. Both are natural stones, but they behave very differently. Here is a clear breakdown.

Durability

• Granite: extremely hard and scratch-resistant; shrugs off heat and heavy use.
• Marble: softer and more porous; stunning, but needs a little more care.

Best uses

• Kitchen countertops: granite wins for its resistance to knives, heat and stains.
• Living-room & bedroom floors: marble gives that cool, luxurious look.
• High-traffic & outdoor: granite (or a hardy natural stone) is the safer bet.

Maintenance

Marble should be sealed periodically and wiped up quickly after spills (especially acidic ones). Granite is more forgiving and easy to maintain.

Cost

Both span a wide range. Buying quarry-direct: as we do, keeps either option affordable, and our highlight Black Galaxy granite is available on special request.
