What are Cultured Marble Shower Walls and Vanity Tops

In layman’s terms, cultured marble is a mixture of fiberglass, resin, and crushed limestone.
A more technical description is as follows: Cultured marble belongs to the family of cast polymers. Cast polymers are a mixture of an unsaturated polyester resin, highly filled with inorganic particulates and pigments. Fillers used are engineered calcium carbonates (for cultured marble), and aluminum tri-hydrate with a suspension of speciality formulated colour chips (for cultured granite).

Cultured Marble Countertop Availability

Cultured marble countertops have been an available option for homeowners for several decades. However, in recent years technology has improved to the point that the material is much more durable and reliable. The ones that Edmonton Bath Products, Ltd. is making today look much more like genuine marble than the cultured ones that were made even just a few years ago. Today, it’s difficult to tell the difference between a genuine marble countertop and one that has been cultured. You have to take away the top layers of the cultured marble before you’ll be able to tell a difference. So if you’ve been thinking about putting in marble countertops but the price has been holding you back, give us a call at Edmonton Bath Products. We’ll show you some of the newest advances in cultured marble so that your guests will think you have the real thing…without draining your bank account.

Benefits of Cultured Marble Countertops:

Crushed marble, calcium carbonate, resins, pigment and other materials go into cultured marble countertops. Over time, these countertops last longer and are easier to maintain than genuine marble. You don’t have to invest in costly cleansers that claim to work only on marble, and you don’t have to watch that expensive marble chip away over time.

Even when the genuine marble countertops have superior craftsmanship, the material itself is the problem. Marble is porous, which means that scratches, stains and chips are simply a fact of life. You can put on a marble sealant, but you’ll have to keep reapplying those as time goes by, and even then, chips and scratches are just going to happen. Cultured marble countertops go in for a small fraction of the cost of genuine marble. Edmonton Bath Products offers cultured marble countertops in a wide variety of colors to match any decoratie scheme. You also can choose from solid colors, blended and veined looks.

What if you have an existing marble countertop and want to change the color without installing a new countertop? With refinishing, we can only apply solid finishes, there are refinishers that specialize in work on enamel or porcelain to change the color to match what you want. Cultured marble countertops can also be repaired in case of damage — if the necessary work does not involve alterations to the structure of the countertop. If you have a genuine marble countertop, repair is almost always impossible, making replacement necessary.

If you do get some stains, light scratches or other changes to the color on a cultured marble countertop, fine-grit sandpaper often works to bring those out. After you’re happy with the sanding, use a buffing pad on an electric grill to apply paste wax to the surface. In most cases, this will restore the shine so that it looks just about brand new. There are also some cultured marble cleaners available when you stop getting ideal results with standard bathroom cleaners.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cultured Marble Countertops

What is cultured marble made of?

Cultured marble is a man-made material composed of crushed limestone (calcium carbonate), resins, pigments, and a gel coat finish. It’s classified as a cast polymer and is designed to look like natural marble, but it’s far more durable and easier to maintain.

How is cultured marble different from genuine marble?

While genuine marble is a natural stone that is porous and requires ongoing sealing and maintenance, cultured marble is non-porous, more durable, and resistant to stains, chips, and scratches. It also costs significantly less, while offering a similar aesthetic appeal.

Why should I choose cultured marble over acrylic or tile?

Cultured marble is stronger and more rigid than acrylic, making it less prone to cracking. Unlike tile, it has no grout lines to clean and won’t suffer from grout cracking or mildew buildup. It’s also fully customizable and available in over 40 colors and finishes.

Do cultured marble countertops look like real marble?

Yes! Thanks to advancements in casting technology, modern cultured marble mimics the veining, texture, and shine of genuine marble incredibly well. Many of our clients say it’s hard to tell the difference unless you’re an expert — and only under the surface.

How durable are cultured marble countertops?

Cultured marble countertops are built to last. They’re stain-resistant, non-porous, and much less likely to chip or scratch than natural marble. With proper care, they can retain their shine and structure for decades.

Are cultured marble countertops easy to maintain?

Yes. To clean, simply use a soft cloth with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. To keep the shine, apply a paste wax or product like GelGloss every few months. No sealing or special marble-specific products are needed.

What color and style options are available?

We offer over 40 color options, including solid colors, veined styles, and blended finishes that resemble high-end stone. Whether you prefer classic white, grey marbling, or modern earth tones, we can match your décor and personal taste.

Can cultured marble countertops be repaired?

Yes. Light stains, scratches, or dull spots can be corrected using fine-grit sandpaper followed by buffing and waxing. In many cases, our team can repair chips or surface damage without requiring full countertop replacement.

Can I refinish or recolor my existing cultured marble countertop?

If you’re looking to change the color of your countertop, refinishing may be an option. Solid colors can be applied, but veined or multi-toned styles typically require full replacement. Let us evaluate your surface to determine the best solution.

Are cultured marble countertops suitable for bathrooms only?

While they are most commonly used in bathroom vanities and surrounds, cultured marble countertops can also be installed in laundry rooms, powder rooms, and other interior applications where elegance and moisture resistance are desired.

Is cultured marble a good choice for new construction and renovations?

Absolutely. Cultured marble is ideal for both new builds and remodels thanks to its affordability, wide range of design options, ease of installation, and long-term durability. It brings high-end appeal without the high-end cost.
