Marble tile or thin tile emerged in the late 80's and is one of the most popular forms and shapes of natural stone. They are usually 3/8 inch thick and thin for easy transport and installation. Marble tiles are a great way to decorate kitchen floors, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls and bathroom floors. Marble floor tiles are easy to install and durable. Unlike other forms of material, marble tiles can be repolished over time. The most popular sizes are 1212 tiles, 1818 tiles and 1224 wall and floor tiles. It is always recommended to use a good sealant to seal marble tiles after installation.
Generally speaking, when it comes to picking a flooring material, it's all about options, options, options. Narrowing down your choices to marble floors was enough of a decision, now there are more options! There are hundreds of marbles, each with its own unique characteristics and appearance. Fortunately, when it comes to marble, three commonly used types are often chosen for flooring.
These include Calacatta and Breccia. That's not to say these are the only options, but these three are a great place to start when looking for ways to narrow it down.
Calacatta: Calacatta patrí medzi najdrahšie kúsky, aké sa dajú kúpiť. Je to preto, že zvyčajne používa najčistejšiu bielu s jasnými pruhmi. Je populárny pri vchode do kancelárií a kaštieľov, kde ľudia môžu urobiť dobrý prvý dojem.
Breccia: Breccia je hornina zložená z hranatých úlomkov spojených dohromady. To je veľká časť jeho príťažlivosti, ktorá mu dodáva voľný štrk alebo žilkovaný vzhľad, v závislosti od vybranej časti. Tie majú tendenciu byť tmavšie, prirodzenejšie farby.
