The Benefits of Marble Tile

Marble tiles are quickly becoming one of the most popular tile varieties among home-owners, and for good reason. Marble tile is beautiful, durable, and can be used in many different home-improvement projects. The following are a few of marble's unique properties that have made it many home-owners' go-to tile choice.

It's versatile.
Marble tile can be used in many different applications. It's strength and durability makes it perfect for flooring, while it's stylish appearance makes it great for counter-tops and columns. It can be used in kitchen, bathrooms, hallways, foyers, studies - nearly any room in the house is an appropriate place for marble tile. It also comes in a variety of different styles and colors, making it easy to match with almost any home decor.

It's attractive.
It doesn't matter what style home you have, there's sure to be a marble tile variety that matches it perfectly. Marble gives a room a sophisticated, almost Victorian feel. You can install marble as-is or engrave patterns into the surface. And with today's digital engraving technologies, artists are able to add intricate and detailed designs into the tile before it is installed. Marble comes in many different styles and colors and is sure to add style and elegance to any room.

It's warm.
Marble has a higher conductivity than other tile varieties, making it a warmer flooring choice. Other varieties of tile flooring often require additional carpeting or area rugs to make the surface comfortable to walk on. Not marble. Marble's warmer, softer surface makes it a great walking surface as-is, which means you don't have to cover up its natural beauty with a rug.

It's easy to clean.
Tile flooring is one of the easiest flooring varieties to keep looking like new. Carpet attracts dirt, dust, and even insects. Hardwood flooring absorbs liquids and can easily be stained. Tile, on the other hand, is naturally more impervious to liquids, dirt, and debris. A simple regiment of sweeping and light mopping on a regular basis is often enough to keep marble tile flooring beautiful.

It's hypoallergenic.
Carpet can trap dust, pollen, animal hair, and many other common household allergens. Keeping carpets clean of allergens can be a big pain. Marble flooring, on the other hand, won't attract or hold any allergens, making it a dream come true for chronic allergy sufferers.
