CounterTek Inc. recently launched a luxury line of cultured marble colors under the trademarked name Marblux®. The name holds deep significance, especially to former CEO Raymond Roux, who had a long-standing connection to the original Marblux brand. Once a highly respected name in the cultured marble industry, Marblux lost its prominence after the original company was sold and eventually shut down.
Ray was passionate about reviving the brand he had always believed in. He envisioned restoring Marblux to its former glory and began the process of acquiring the rights to the name. Sadly, Ray passed away before the trademark was secured.
His close friend and successor, Jonathan Scudder, now CEO of CounterTek, shared Ray’s vision and was determined to see it through. Jonathan successfully acquired the Marblux trademark and has since continued Ray’s mission—bringing new life to the brand with a refined luxury line that honors its legacy while looking boldly to the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cultured marble and natural marble?
Natural marble is quarried stone that's cut into slabs, while cultured marble is manufactured to spec. Because it's cast rather than cut, cultured marble can be made in custom sizes with integrated sinks and no visible seams, and its non-porous surface resists staining better than natural marble, which needs periodic sealing. Cultured marble is also more consistent from unit to unit, which matters when you're sourcing for multiple installs.
Is cultured marble durable?
Yes. Cultured marble is non-porous and resists moisture, staining, and everyday wear, making it well suited to both kitchen and bathroom applications. CounterTek's surfaces are tested for stain resistance, impact strength, and durability, and every top is backed by a 5-year limited warranty covering material and workmanship.
How do I care for cultured marble?
Cultured marble is easy to maintain. Clean it with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner, and avoid harsh or gritty products that can dull the finish over time. With routine care, the surface keeps its appearance and performance for years. Our care guide covers the details.
How long does a cultured marble order take?
After templating, manufacturing typically takes 5–7 business days, followed by installation that usually runs 2–4 hours on site. Our production is built to align with contractor timelines, so you get dependable turnaround whether you're managing a single project or supplying multiple builds.
Do you sell cultured marble directly to homeowners?
