The green marble shown in this video is actually from Vermont and is called Verde Antique. The marble is so hard Robert actually scratched a antique verde marble column to prove it. I cringed, but quickly saw it didn't leave a scratch. It's truly amazing. --Meghan

Thanks so much for providing that information. It really helps to put the situation in perspective. Although, now I might have to change my plan to install granite on all of my floors, walls and countertops. I'm just kidding. Thanks again! -- Meghan

Thanks so much for clarifying. This is an issue that keeps emerging. If anyone is seriously concerned about radon, I would suggest visiting the EPA. Thanks again! -- Meghan

it does not! it has been proven by the EPA! Radon is coming mostly from basements, soil, even some foods like potato in your house. Granite does emit but very very small percentage, not harmful!

I have a Granite Fabrication facility we have more than 300 slabs inside in our storage we do have the Radon air test equipment. Our air quality is the same with any normal house or any other commercial warehouse. EPA sets the alarm above 4pCi/L and our radon test reads 1.2 to 1.8 pCi/L long or short term. To you have 300 slabs in your house? No! Granite is one of the best products for Kitchen counter tops. If you concern about granite use Quartz

Granite allegedly emits radon. Why take the chance?

Quartz is much better!!! Try Zodiaz quartz.

i know alot about stone being the son of a father who owns a company that specializes in stone countertops. granite is by far a better investment because marble is softer and can stain easier than granite. Granite is actually a stone that is much older whereas marble is a younger stone. Being that granite is older, it is much durable and less pourous. but still you need a sealant for both products. |
