Look around any attractive kitchen, hallway or large office entrance, and you are sure to see some marble; there is a perfect chance that these are Marble Tiles bought with the express intention of looking fabulous and bringing a natural feeling of quality to the room or entranceway.
The reassuring thing to remember is that marble is less expensive than you might think. There are plenty of suppliers out there that can get you some excellent-looking quality stone to spruce up your environment. It’s also good to know that marble is one of the most abundant rock types, so you can be sure it does not cost the earth to mine. Because it is so long-lasting and hard-wearing, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever want to replace it, saving you and the earth’s resources a considerable amount over time.
Marble is a glinting speckled stone that positively gleams when polished and cleaned properly and regularly. If you ensure this happens at timely intervals, then the length of time a Marble tile will keep its perfect look can mean decades of use and decoration.
Most marble comes from mines in Italy and Turkey. That is not much of a surprise when you remember that the Romans liked marble for their important buildings when they had an empire. However, a significant part also comes from Canada and Vermont, where a beautiful and pure white variety can be found. It’s one of the reasons so many buildings in the USA also favour the look of marble tiles.
