In this article, you’re going to learn how to install marble countertops in your bathroom. This same process will also work for Granite countertops as well.

Marble countertops are actually pretty easy to install when compared to other high-quality countertop options. Tile countertops are far more difficult and time-consuming to install, harder to clean, and usually don’t look as good.
