Epoxy and Polyaspartic countertops are chosen over marble and other natural stone for their superior durability, lower maintenance, and customizable aesthetic options, while still offering a luxurious look similar to marble. They are more resistant to scratches, stains, and heat than marble, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas like kitchens. Additionally, they can be molded into seamless surfaces, eliminating grout lines and making cleaning easier. Not to mention they are budget friendly compared to natural stone.
