Marble floor tiles have been a mark of taste and wealth since the Greeks and Romans fell in love with their polished beauty thousands of years ago. Originally available only to the elite, modern techniques have speeded up the cutting process making marble much more accessible for homes of today. The durability of marble flooring makes it an excellent investment and with so many grades and finishes, there’s a marble for every interior trend or style.
Keep on reading to find out more about the beauty and benefits of marble flooring for your home.
It gives your home a special glow
Light coloured marble flooring has a unique natural translucence, meaning that light can slowly penetrate through the stone, giving a wonderfully elegant glow to your home. And no other flooring offers such a range of natural variations. From the beautiful veining and patterns in sought-after Carrara, to the chic black tones of Marquina, natural marble brings a unique and individual touch to your project.
It stays cool naturally
Marble has a natural ability to stay cool, making it an ideal flooring choice for warmer climates or areas with high humidity. There’s nothing like the refreshing feeling of walking on a cool marble floor on a hot summer’s day! That coolness can also help regulate temperatures during hot spells, saving money on excessive air conditioning.
Cold weather an issue? Marble tiles offer high levels of thermal conductivity, making them the perfect choice for homes where underfloor heating is being used.
It’s versatile across your home
Not just for flooring, marble tiles can bring a natural elegance and modern maximalist feel to a range of projects like dressing rooms and bathrooms. Tiled bath panels are back in vogue and can really tie together a scheme when matched with marble floors and worktops. Or create an on-trend utility room by mixing bright carpentry and cupboards with classic marble surfaces around a butler’s sink.
It’s easy maintenance
Marble stone flooring is simple and easy to care for with a few easy tips. All that most floors need is regular sweeping or dusting, along with occasional mopping using a mild, pH-neutral cleaner – we like to use Lithofin Easy Care. Once a year, consider re-sealing your marble floor with a recommended marble sealer to top up your floor’s stain resistance.
It’s durable and scratch resistant
Marble flooring is an incredibly durable stone. It’s also moisture resistant, making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, where drips and spills can be easily wiped away. Perfect for busy family homes! A marble floor should last a lifetime, if not longer – you only need to think of marble floors you may see in many historic buildings to appreciate how long it can last with such timeless appeal. With the right care and maintenance, your marble flooring can easily last a lifetime.
