Montclair Danby Marble Kitchen Countertops and Backsplash

Marble Countertops for Kitchen and Bath

Marble countertops and general use in the kitchen has been in existence for hundreds of years in Europe. It has been only recently that marble kitchen countertops have been accepted as a viable option in the United States. Leading the way is Vermont Danby MarbleĀ® due to its low absorption rate of less than .10% - lower than many granites. Danby Marble not only provides a technically sound marble kitchen countertop, but it provides the long lasting beauty and enduring strength of white marble just as Europe and the rest of the world has known for centuries.

Vermont Danby MarbleĀ® countertops are installed in a new kitchen every day in the U.S. with outstanding results. We are proud to be able to offer to homeowners everywhere a marble that is not only suitable for kitchen and bath use, but equally beautiful.

Call or email for more information on how you can make Danby Marble kitchen countertops or marble bath installations part of your home.
