 Marble Floors: Tiles or Slab
During the last ten years, marble floors have seen a rebirth – a sales increase of close to 400%, in fact. Fine marble floorings were a rich man’s option in the years when marble was quarried solely in Italy, but now one can get perfectly serviceable grades from quarries in China, Spain and Mexico.
The two most commonly employed kinds of marble for flooring are the white and black slabs and tiles. Both lend a unique character to the surroundings and can, under artistic guidance, be mixed for stunning effect. With your marble counter or vanity top it can create an unsurpassed harmony. When considering marble as your flooring material, consider that it normally exhibits a heavily veined surface structure and can, at times, overpower a space. Treat it like slate and choose a location where its immense beauty can be enjoyed without restriction or competing elements. It is always important to remember that polished marble becomes extremely slippery when wet. Matble will bear the scars of use in high-traffic locations. For improved wearability, consider selecting a honed or brushed finish, as it will add traction and ease the burden of maintenance.
