Zeytinburnu Kitchen Countertops Service

A kitchen countertop is the most-touched, most heavily used, and most visible surface in any home. At Öz Emek Mermer, we've been working with marble, granite, sintered porcelain, and quartz composite for kitchen countertop projects in Istanbul since 2009 — instead of forcing a material onto a kitchen, we fit the material to the kitchen.

We regularly deliver projects in the Zeytinburnu area; we plan survey and installation on an appointment basis.

Choosing a kitchen countertop is a technical decision as much as an aesthetic one. Marble offers a warm, silky texture and a classic, inviting look, especially in veined surfaces like Calacatta, Carrara, and Afyon White. Granite, on the other hand, is more resistant to scratches and impact thanks to its crystalline structure, so it holds up for years without deforming in busy family kitchens. We work with both materials in the same workshop, with the same precision, and help you decide during the site survey which one truly suits your kitchen.

Every marble and granite kitchen countertop project starts with an on-site measurement. Our team comes to your kitchen and takes millimeter-precise measurements of cabinet tops, cooktop and sink cutouts, and outlet and faucet holes. This template is then transferred to our workshop's CNC cutting machines, so the edge profile, corner radii, and cooktop/sink cutouts are machined with laboratory-level precision — eliminating the millimeter-level deviations common with traditional hand-cutting.

Countertop thickness is determined by how intensively the surface will be used. A standard kitchen typically calls for 2 cm granite or marble, while kitchen islands and wide spans get 3 cm with reinforced substructure support where needed. Sintered porcelain and quartz composite countertops come in 12 mm and 20 mm options; we recommend 20 mm for heavily used surfaces, for both durability and appearance.

Waterfall edges have become one of the most requested details in Istanbul kitchens in recent years. The vein pattern on the countertop surface flows uninterrupted down the side of the island, turning the natural pattern of the marble or granite into a sculptural feature. This cut requires the vein direction to be marked on the slab beforehand and the piece to be cut from a single block, so we take extra care at the template and slab-selection stage.

Sink integration is another critical point in any countertop project. We offer top-mount, undermount, and fully integrated sinks carved from the same material as the countertop. Undermount sinks are especially popular on marble and quartz composite counters because they leave no visible seam on the surface and are easier to keep clean.

Marble and granite require different care routines. Because of its calcium carbonate structure, marble is sensitive to acidic liquids like lemon juice, vinegar, and wine, so we apply a sealant after installation and recommend wiping up spills promptly. Granite is far less porous, so a damp cloth is usually enough for everyday cleaning, with an annual sealant application for extra peace of mind. Sintered porcelain and quartz composite surfaces are virtually non-porous and need no special care at all.

Pricing depends on the material type, slab rarity, thickness, edge profile, and the number of cutouts required. We provide a transparent, project-specific quote through our quote form or at your site survey, with no surprise add-on charges. A typical countertop project takes 7–10 business days from templating to installation; special imported slabs may take longer depending on supply lead times.

You can request a free survey in any district of Istanbul, either through our showroom or by booking an appointment over WhatsApp. The marble and granite kitchen countertops produced at our workshop in Sancaktepe are shipped regularly to projects across the city — from Kadıköy to Beylikdüzü and Üsküdar to Pendik, our work is in hundreds of kitchens.
