MARBLE TILES

Marble tiles possess difference, elegance, nature, and captivate with swirling patterns, soothing gradients, and bizarre veining effects – accentuating a gorgeous, earthly aesthetic to any home. Other than that, marble is extremely durable, and can stand against major foot traffic from kids or pets running about. What makes marble different from other stone-flooring materials is that is possesses a high tolerance to polishing – it’s a simple thing to keep your marble tiles looking sheeny and glossy with little to no effort. Another reality on marble tiles is that they possess a slight translucent quality to them, allowing light to bounce off of them, illuminating other aspects of your home, as well as other marble materials, and giving any room or household a spacious, airy feel to it. One of marble’s greatest traits is its individuality. After its quarrying stage from raw slabs from the earth, it’s refined and broken down, and then cut into custom-made tiles – meaning every single piece of tile is unique – and that no marble tile is ever in uniform.
