Half to two inches high.
Concrete can weigh up to 20 pounds per square foot, but usually does not require additional support.

Both materials are absorbable and must be carefully sealed to prevent stains, but sealants used in concrete must be replaced more frequently, which may increase-term cost.
Marble is more fragile than concrete and may require expensive maintenance if damaged, but if handled carefully, it usually has a longer service life.
Both types can be easily cleaned if sealed properly, but acid-rich detergents, such as vinegar, should not be used in marble to prevent acid from penetrating under the sealant and staining the masonry.
Concrete counters can be prefabricated or shaped in the kitchen depending on size.
Prefabricated countertops are relatively easy to install, and the cost of laying them will be lower than the sanding and bonding required for marble tiles, which requires extra care to avoid cracking.
