How to Choose Marble for Flooring
Key considerations for selecting, finishing, and installing natural marble floors that last generations.
Ensure your stone floor stands the test of time with expert advice on slip resistance, veining orientation, and thickness.
Finish Matters: Polished vs Honed
While high-gloss polished marble reflects light and visually expands spaces, honed (matte) marble has emerged as an architectural favorite for contemporary residences. Honed marble provides subtle texture, minimizes the visibility of everyday micro-scratches, and offers enhanced slip safety.
Subfloor Preparation and Proper Sealing
A flawless natural stone floor requires an immovable subfloor. Any deflection in the structural foundation can cause hairline fissures across stone tiles or slabs. Following installation, impregnating penetrating sealers should be applied to prevent moisture absorption while allowing the stone to breathe.
