My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Honed or polished? How is to wearing? Want to put it in bit concerned about stains? Any advice much appreciated!

    I believe this top is honed. Many of our clients choose marble for its uniqueness and beauty. Marble is more porous than granite however and is more susceptible to stains and etching more than other stones and requires more maintenance. So, if you are concerned about stains, I would chose an alternative.
