Sydney Homeowners Look to Differentiate their Home in a Cooling Market with Marble Benchtops

As the Sydney market starts to cool, homeowners looking to sell their property are utilising marble slabs in their kitchens as a point of differentiation. Marble benchtops have, for a long time, been associated with luxury and opulence due to their beautiful look and feel.

This reputation has lent itself to the impression that marble is inaccessible for most homeowners. This is often a misconception as many marble slabs are similar in price to the marble-look reconstituted stone, which are quite popular with homeowners.

Avant Stone, Sydney’s leading natural stone supplier, has noticed in uplift in the demand for natural stone, in particular marble slabs in Sydney.

In marble slab, there are ever-popular colours such as:

• a href="https://avantstone.com.au/product/calacatta-oro/">Calacatta Oro slabs

: White background contrasted with grey / taupe veins offering a high-end luxury;

• a href="https://avantstone.com.au/product/carrara/">Carrara Slabs

: White / light grey marble contains soft veining / or cloudy appearance, ever popular due to its versatility and affordability;

• New York Marble Slabs: A translucent white marble and with sharp purple veins that can be back lit.

In recent years grey coloured marbles such as Grey Horizon & Blue de Savoy (available exclusively at Avant Stone) are becoming a popular option for homeowner looking for a modern & chic look for their home.

The use of marble offers a homeowner a point off difference when attracting buyers and a uniqueness that cannot be replicated with a man-made product. When you purchase a marble slab, much like a thumb print, it is completely unique to you.

Unlike reconstituted stone, the process of selecting a marble slab is an exciting process that lets your creative juices flow.
