Preguntas frecuentes
What is marble and what makes it popular for tiling?
Marble is a natural metamorphic stone prized for its distinctive veining, depth, and polished sheen. Each tile is unique, which gives it a luxurious, high-end look for floors, walls, and feature areas.
Where can marble tiles be used?
Marble suits walls, floors, splashbacks, feature walls, and bathrooms. For floors and high-traffic areas, a honed (matte) finish is often preferred over polished, as it shows wear and scratches less and offers better slip resistance.
Do marble tiles need to be sealed?
Yes. Marble is porous and acid-sensitive, so we recommend sealing before grouting and re-sealing periodically. A penetrating (impregnating) sealer helps protect against staining and etching, though it doesn't make the stone fully stain-proof.
Why is marble sensitive to acids?
Marble is calcium-based, so acidic substances — lemon juice, vinegar, wine, many household cleaners — react with the surface and cause dull marks known as "etching." This is why pH-neutral cleaning is essential.
Can marble be used in kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, and both are popular. In kitchens, be aware that countertops and splashbacks near food prep are more prone to etching and staining, so sealing and prompt spill cleanup matter. In bathrooms, marble performs well when properly sealed.
Can marble be used outdoors?
It can in milder climates, but marble is generally less suited to harsh outdoor conditions than slate or porcelain. Check the specific tile's frost rating and expect that exterior exposure may affect the finish over time.
Why do the marble tiles vary in color and veining?
Marble is a natural product, so veining, shade, and movement vary from tile to tile and batch to batch. We recommend ordering all tiles for a project at once and dry-laying from several boxes to blend the variation for a balanced look.
How do I clean and maintain marble?
Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth or mop. Avoid acidic, abrasive, or general-purpose cleaners, wipe spills promptly, and use mats or coasters in areas exposed to liquids. Reapply sealer as recommended for your tile.
Are marble tiles slippery?
Polished marble can be slippery when wet, so for wet areas and floors a honed or textured finish is recommended. Adding rugs or mats in key spots also helps.
