That look's very nice for my next house. It looks so much nicer than concrete!

I actually had a marble counter in a flat I lived in in Europe for a while. I knew nothing about maintenance so just treated it like any other hard surface, and it looked fine (and I wasn't the first person to live in that flat, I assure you). It's more common in Europe, and not so much trendy there as classic. But Europeans aren't quite as finicky as North Americans and Australians seem to be about flawless and unblemished finishes.

Haresh, I don't know what country the original poster was talking about, but this is the Australian website, and any answers to your question would probably need to know the city too. It's best to start your own question instead of adding it to a very old thread. If you need to, you can change the website country at the bottom of the screen. If you are in Australia, think about what suits the climate where you are and not just what you are used to. I can understand what the original poster said about wanting marble. However I have seen increasing numbers of sales listings in my city with marble throughout the house including bedrooms and I feel sad because although it is obviously a habitual cultural choice it can affect resale in this particular climate. I thought I'd talk about that because I just saw another listing and straighaway I thought brr, we're going into autumn and that's so cold in bedrooms. Even a nice timber or laminate is better if you want a hard floor. If you are in the same situation as the original poster with "termite and humidity problems in the country [they] are living" please disregard.

Hi Rae, I don't think they export to Australia. It is really hard to say without seeing an actual sample as colour on a screen is always varied, however the two alternatives to your Lucent Arctic White (top image Lucent Arctic White) available here for both the colour and style are the Caesarstone's London Grey (middle image) or Caesarstone's White Attica (bottom image). You may like to check these out by seeing actual large samples at a Caesarstone showroom near you. Hope this helps, Malcolm.
