There is nothing like the cool comfort and original facade of marble flooring. Set the tone of any room, from an entrance foyer or bathroom to a grand room, by choosing classic, rich marble floor tiles. This recrystallized limestone comes in many natural shade variations, with swirling patterns of color that create unique design details.
Although many do-it-yourself websites offer advice on how to lay marble flooring yourself, most experts, including Tom Silva of This Old House, believe it is best to leave marble tile installation to the professionals. This durable, strong stone is an alkaline substance, which means that common acidic foods and beverages can stain it. Make sure your installer uses a neutral pH breathable sealer on your marble flooring, and call professional cleaners for stain removal. Marble flooring also needs to be resealed every 9 to 18 months, depending on the nature of the room's foot and paw traffic. Cleaning your elegant flooring is a breeze; use warm water and a mop.
With proper installation and care, marble flooring can last a lifetime. With its natural random stone beauty, marble flooring also lends a marked elegance to any room.
