Natural marble flooring damages any home and it is the finish that matters. Choose from three options of polished, honed and polished finishes with essentially unique characteristics.

The polished look deserves the increased popularity it has been blessed with! Polished means rich looks and easy maintenance. How do you achieve that mirror shine? Diamond wheels or other floor polishers will do the job. In addition to that extravagant exterior, the polished surface is not as porous and does not require much sealing, unlike other marble finishes.

However, polished surfaces will show scratches and that requires regular polishing. Polished surfaces can also be slippery and should be avoided in wet areas. If your bathroom or hallway should have polished marble tiles, opt for smaller sizes that have more grout. They provide better traction like the dazzling white Greek herringbone marble.

Crema Marfil marble to flatter feelings
The honed finish is achieved by using a rough surface that removes small pieces of stone from the surface. What you get is a soft, smooth feel. Unlike the polished surface, the polisher is not easy to scratch. However, the exposed surface in small fragments makes it more porous and exposed to stains. The Crema Marfil marble floors with a honed finish in the living room show a serene and welcoming aura.

The fallen finish

Celebrate with Emperador Light marble and Royal Beige marble
How do you create that naturally worn look? Easy! Marble tiles are thrown into a drum along with rocks and sand. The impact makes the marble soft to the touch. Small chips are created in the marble as part of the fall appeal. If you are looking for a rustic, traditional and old atmosphere, create it with the magic of lying down.

Soft to the touch, but nevertheless gives a good grip. Like the Emperador Light marble, the polished fits well around the shower and other wet areas such as the kitchen.

Consider various factors such as upkeep and appearances before making final decisions. Depending on the location, the preferred finish would create a rich ambience. Marble throughout the centuries has been appreciated for its beauty and grandeur. Get a chance to continue the glorious tradition in muted tones that speak of an eternity of existence deep in the womb of the earth. Marble will never let you down.
