How to Choose Marble Floor Tile？

If you have chosen to invest in marble for your flooring project, you need to think about how to choose the right tiles.

Following, are important factors that will guide you:

Intended use:

In a home or business, kitchen, living room or bedroom, hammam, yard or shopping mall, different requirements are expected depending on the frequency of use, thickness of the material, absorbency and the climate to which it will be exposed.

Non-slip:

The indoor installation of marble tiles does not actually produce a greater degree of slippage in comparison to other widely used floor coverings. However, in order to avoid accidents, a treatment of the marble floor is often chosen to give it a non-slip texture. The proposed finishing techniques, which are usually preferred for outdoor applications, e.g., Ηoned, Brushed, Deep Brushed, Bush Hammered, etc., reduce cases of slippage, and if carried out correctly, do not alter the quality or appearance of the material.

Color:

It is known that marble is mined in a wide variety of colors and shades, from very dark to white tones. The results are different degrees of reflection of light and visual effects within the area of the space. A common practice is to select dark-colored marble in outdoor spaces with a larger area or in brightly lit areas, while light-colored marble is usually chosen for smaller surfaces that are poorly lit. General design of the room, space or building: you will have to decide if the style of the marble floor you are designing will be a smooth match or will create an interesting contrast with the rest of the space.

Marble pattern:

As a polymorphic material, marble allows you to choose monochrome, multicolor or the presence of veins on your floor. Unique patterns can be created depending on the placement and laying of the tiles, a process to which the Dry-Lay process and the different methods of placing marble with veins contribute significantly.

Tile dimensions:

It is very important to choose the right size tiles in order to achieve the best aesthetic result that will highlight your space.
