Advantages of marble
What are the advantages of using marble for fireplaces and a bathroom? Are there circumstances where an alternative type of natural stone should be considered instead and why would it make sense in that case?
Expert Trade Answers
"There are no advantages over having marble on a fireplace or a bathroom you would be much better suited using slate or granite in a fireplace marble is fine for a bathroom but does scratch you would be better off using quartz’s For durability purposes as it is much stronger a Less likely to be scratched and will last a lot longer and doesn’t need any sealers"

"Hi There,
The advantage of using marble for fireplaces: is a durable, highly aesthetic, fire-proof material.
The advantage of using marble in bathrooms is that besides offering stunning looks, it has minimal porosity. As a result, it doesn't allow the proliferation of germs and bacteria, even in humid areas.
I hope it helps!"
