Why has G5 nano white been so popular?

It is a strong, long-lasting, and extremely durable material that cannot be broken or cut off easily.

Easily moulded or half-rounded on the edge of the nano white.

Since this material is dense and non-porous, scratch, and acid-resistant, but it is not stained resistant.

G5 Nano white marble is expensive.

Another drawback of nano white is that it darkens the joint lines over time. For example, if you have a joint in an l-shaped kitchen countertop, you must grout in the middle of the G5, and that grouting will turn white to black after a certain amount of time.

Since nano white is a very hard material, only specialized contractors can deal with it and install it. Because of its solid surface, it is difficult to cut.
