Marble is a metamorphic stone, and its elegant look and strength has made it a preferred architectural material for both ancient and modern structures alike.
Marble floor tiles have been used throughout the years due to its unique patterns and colors. It is made up of relatively hard material, but is not as hard as granite. Marble is classified into groups A, B, C, and D, which indicate the fabrication ease based on the quality of hardness. Marble tiles tend to be veined.
Marble that is tumbled has an entirely different exterior from the polished version. These tiles have a porous, and sometimes even sponge like consistency. There are variations in color, but veins and other patterns are normally absent. The result is a floor that feels relaxed yet spectacular at the same time. Rough-cut stones such as limestone and slate have similar properties and appearance. These floor tiles are very popular for fireplace surrounds, bar-tops, and vanities. In certain locations and climates, marble may stain. However, with proper care and maintenance, marble is relatively easy to preserve. Marble floor tiles are available in a variety of color patterns.
