Cultured marble is an engineered stone product made from crushed limestone or marble particles mixed with polyester resin and pigments. The material is poured into molds and finished with a protective gel-coat surface that provides a smooth, glossy finish.
Plan for ROUGHLY $40-$50 per square foot for cultured marble countertops plus the cost of labor to install. Integrated sinks can help reduce installation costs by eliminating the need to purchase and install a separate sink.
Cultured marble has a shorter life span in a home due mainly to its scratchability.
Cultured marble tops are ready for install roughly 4 weeks from the date of order.
Cultured marble has one square edge option in the 3/4" thick option and a square and ogee edge option in the 1 1/8" thick option.
Cultured marble has a nonporous gel-coated surface that resists moisture and everyday staining. Unlike natural stone, it does not need to be sealed. It is very water resistant.
Cultured marble does scratch and is not recommended for kitchen use. The matte finish shows scratching much less than the gloss finish. White colors may show a slight yellowing over time due to UV. Cultured marble is not heat resistant.
Matte surfaces may be cleaned using a rough pad, but gloss surfaces will show scratching from this pad or harsh cleaners. The gel-coat can be buffed to create a smooth finish again.
Cultured marble uses mineral fillers combined with synthetic resins, which can reduce the amount of natural stone required compared with solid stone products. However, the petroleum-based resins, manufacturing process, and limited recyclability contribute to its environmental impact
Cultured marble is relatively easy to install. Some homeowners may try to DIY the project, while others may want to hire a local contractor. We have some great names to refer you to!
One of the biggest advantages of cultured marble is the availability of integrated sink bowls. These sinks are molded directly into the countertop, creating a smooth transition without the seams found around traditional undermount sinks. This makes cleaning easier and reduces areas where water, dirt, and bacteria can collect.
This shows the Ogee edge option in 1 1/8" thick cultured marble.

Cultured Marble is a GREAT option for showers!
Because its poured as one panel, you get custom shapes and designs but don't have to deal with grout and the high price of tile installation.
The panels can be adhered to drywall, current tile, or a waterproof backing using a caulk making installation a breeze!
Best of all, its an cost-effective option to get a high end shower look!
Klingbeil Co Interior Showroom is proud to be piloting a hydro dipped shower panel product. They are GORGEOUS!
Shower panels can be installed as half-walls etc to get exactly the look you want. This shower has 2 inset niche's
