The options of natural marble floor materials?
Marble tile or thin tile emerged in the late 80's and is one of the most popular forms and shapes of natural stone. They are usually 3/8 inch thick and thin for easy transport and installation. Marble tiles are a great way to decorate kitchen floors, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls and bathroom floors. Marble floor tiles are easy to install and durable. Unlike other forms of material, marble tiles can be repolished over time. The most popular sizes are 12×12 tiles, 18×18 tiles and 12×24 wall and floor tiles. It is always recommended to use a good sealant to seal marble tiles after installation.
Generally speaking, when it comes to picking a flooring material, it's all about options, options, options. Narrowing down your choices to marble floors was enough of a decision, now there are more options! There are hundreds of marbles, each with its own unique characteristics and appearance. Fortunately, when it comes to marble, three commonly used types are often chosen for flooring.
These include Calacatta and Breccia. That's not to say these are the only options, but these three are a great place to start when looking for ways to narrow it down.
Calacatta: Calacatta is one of the most expensive pieces one can buy. This is because it usually uses the purest white with bright streaks. It is popular at the entrance of offices and mansions, where people can make a good first impression.
Breccia: Breccia is a rock composed of angular fragments cemented together. This is a big part of its appeal, giving it a loose gravel or veined look, depending on the part chosen. These tend to be darker, more natural colors.
