C and C North America Introduces a More Durable, Elegant MarbleMarlique Marble Provides Old World Charm with Less Maintenance

    (Houston, Texas) - For centuries marble has been associated with great buildings, luxurious designs, natural grace and style. Yet because of its inherent softness, it is quick to stain or damage - requiring regular replacement and expensive maintenance that effectively puts its price out of reach of many homeowners. C&C North America, the makers of Silestone quartz, now introduce Marlique, a marble surface more durable than quarried marble and more luxurious than cultured marble.

    "Marlique Marble is the answer for delivering a unique look and old-world charm to a room without the extra worry of deficiencies of traditional marble," says Armin T. Deutsch "Marlique Marble can resist limited exposure to cosmetics and chemicals commonly used in the bathroom without permanently staining like ordinary stone, and looks like new years after installation."

    Unlike ordinary marble, Marlique Marble has a much lower liquid absorption rate and needs very little maintenance to keep its lustrous glow and ultra-smooth surface. Cleaning the surface only requires a damp cloth or paper towel for nearly all spills or spots. Heavier stains such as nail polish or paint can be removed with products such as Formula 409® or Lysol®.

    Marlique Marble is a tremendously versatile surface, affordable and is an excellent choice for vanities, shower walls, tub decks, or any other bathroom surface. Vanity tops and tub decks are available in 2cm (3/4") thickness while shower walls are available in 1.2 cm (7/16") thickness. Marlique Marble is available in a full-range of gorgeous colors based on nature's hues and is backed by a 10-year warranty.
