Comfort and Convenience by Natural Marble Tiles in Interior Spaces
NATURAL MARBLE TILES — AN ELEGANT CHOICE FOR YOUR INTERIOR FLOORS
Cool, rich and distinguished, marble transcends all other tile flooring materials. It’s available at The Tile Shop in a variety of colors and contrasting veins that can deliver a truly unique appearance. Marble floor tile can have multiple finishes, from polished to honed and brushed to tumbled. Whether you combine similar or contrasting marble looks, this natural material has the “wow” factor that will impress your guests and completely transform your room.
When polished, marble can be a dangerously slick and slippery surface. In kitchens and bathrooms where water is likely, this can be a problem, since these floors are unforgiving on bones and joints in the event of a fall. Use non-slip rugs in these areas if you are using highly polished marble, or opt for less polished forms of marble tile.
Marble tile is used in bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and elsewhere throughout the home. Marble offers limitless design options for creating stylish rooms.
All stone and ceramic tile, including marble, is notoriously cold underfoot. But like other hard flooring materials, marble also makes a very good base for radiant floor heating systems, in which hydronic tubing or electrical wiring is networked through the underlayment. This can turn a normally cold flooring material into one that is wonderfully comfortable.
Whenever marble is installed, purchase at least one extra box of tiles and keep them in storage. Every lot of marble tiles will have slightly different coloring and veining, and having replacement tiles from the same batch ensures that they come from the same quarry, making it much easier to match tiles if one breaks, cracks, or becomes stained.
