Q: Does marble stain more than quartz?

• <div><p>Marble is very porous, so it stains more than non-porous quartz. Exercise caution when drinking wine and juice or cooking with oil near the marble fixture.</p></div>

Q: Does water stain marble?

• <div><p>Since marble is a porous material, it is more prone to water spots than other countertop options. Fortunately, pure water doesn&rsquo;t damage your marble, but if the water is acidic, it can cause stains or water spots. Resealing throughout the year can help increase marble&rsquo;s water resistance, too.</p></div>

Q: Is marble or granite more expensive?

• <div><p>Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from <b>$35 to $45 per hour</b>. Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:</p><ul><li><p>Marble tile: $7&ndash;$10</p></li><li><p>Granite tile: $5&ndash;$15</p></li><li><p>Marble slab: $25&ndash;$60</p></li><li><p>Granite slab: $50&ndash;$100</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you put a hot pan on a marble countertop?

• <div><p>It is not recommended to put a hot pan directly on a marble countertop. While marble is heat-resistant, it&rsquo;s not completely heat-proof. Extreme or prolonged exposure to high heat can cause damage to the marble, such as discoloration, cracking, or even the breaking or chipping of the stone's surface. To protect your marble countertop from potential heat damage, it&rsquo;s important to use trivets, hot pads, or other heat-resistant surfaces under hot pans or pots. This precaution will help maintain the beauty and integrity of your marble countertop for the long run.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a diamond blade to cut Corian?

• <div><p>No, you do not need a diamond blade to cut Corian&reg;. Diamond blades are used to cut very hard materials, including concrete, brick, asphalt, and natural stone, like granite. Even though Corian&reg; is very hard and durable, it is not actually made of stone, making a diamond blade unnecessary. A tungsten carbide triple chip grind blade works best for cutting Corian&reg;.</p></div>

Welcome to Cabinets.com, the largest online retailer of assembled discount kitchen cabinets. Purchasing kitchen cabinets online is something new to a lot of home owners and renovators. At Cabinets.com, our team strives to build trust over the internet, provide the best quality service and products, as well as care for our community and environment. Cabinets.com was started in 2009 as Kitchen Resource Direct, one of the first companies to sell assembled kitchen cabinets online. Since then, we have been growing, extending our product offerings and services. We were recognized in both 2014 and 2015 by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in America.

"After waiting 6 weeks, I received damaged merchandise. Quite a bit of it appears to be from the manufacturer, but I'll let you judge from the pictures - chipped shelves, chipped rollout trays, base cabinets with fractures, chipped edges, doors that don't close flush, imperfections that have been painted over with or covered. Customer service has been strenuous to work with - finally offering a paltry 10% refund after weeks of a tug-of-war of me sharing pictures of defects and them giving false assurances. Looking back in hindsight, I should have invested a little more to buy from a local retailer where pride in workmanship, quality and customer service are valued."

"If I could give them 0 stars I would. I’m not someone who writes reviews but I am making a point to post this. We have purchased a water heater, new AC, and almost purchased a furnace from them all in the last 3 years. I now question whether or not we actually needed to replace our water heater and AC, because they heavily pitched us on just buying a new one at the time and we trusted them. When our furnace stopped working, we called them yet again and their tech came out and spent a couple hours trying to fix the problem before deciding we needed a new motherboard. He contacted “his reps” and we waited for a week and a half for “his reps” to ultimately send the wrong part. No one realized this and the tech came out and worked on putting the wrong motherboard in for a few hours. When the tech eventually figured out it was the wrong part, he contacted “his rep” and they said they can’t get our motherboard anymore and we would have to buy a whole new furnace. By this point, we were without heat for 2+ weeks in mid to late October. Then the sales guy calls me to pitch me his quotes on a new furnace and talks down to me because I’m a woman, telling me I should speak with my husband. Disgusting. He gives me a quote that is about $1500 higher than the other company we ultimately went with. Fast forward to now and this company has the guts to send us a bill for $500. For what? The tech literally did nothing the entire time he was here. We are happy to pay for his time for the initial visit when we didn’t know what was wrong, but it’s not our fault their “rep” sent the wrong part and sent their tech on a wild goose chase for 3+ hours. Send the bill to their rep or eat the cost. If the rep had told them they couldn’t get the part in the first place, it would have been over with right there. When my husband called to argue, the sales guy acted like he was doing us a favor by somehow sending us a bill for only $500. What? Absolutely sleazy sales techniques. I have already told multiple people never to work with this company and plan to tell everyone who will listen never to work with them. This is NOT how you treat people, especially good customers who have already purchased an AC and water heater through you. Shame on you."
