The Nuts and Bolts of Marble Tiles?
Marble tiles have become one of the most popular flooring choices in recent years among home improvement projects. Marble tiles are easy to install, durable against excessive use, and they are beautiful as well. Almost anyone can install marble tiles. Marble tiles come in two types. The first is the traditional marble, which is polished marble, giving the tiles shine and a touch of class. Usually, these tiles are used in a foyer or entryway, where alot of natural light could reflect nicely against the floor and brighten things up further. The other type of tile is tubled tiles, which have grown more popular way after the traditional tiles. Tumbled tiles are buffed instead of polished, giving them a more earthy and natural look. Most times, they come in beige or cream tones, without anything bright and fancy. Dining rooms and other large areas look best with tumbled tiles. Most times, tumbled tiles come in larger sizes than traditional tiles, so it’s easier to cover the flooring surface area with them. Marble can get stained easily. It is good to seal the marble tiles with a neutral pH breathable sealer after the installation process, and the sealant should be applied again every 9-18 months, depending on the foot traffic. In addition to the sealant, marble tile shouldn’t be cleaned with the typical cleaners used for other floors. The chemicals will damage the tiles. Warm water is all that is necessary to clean with. If there is a stain on the floor, a paper towel should be soaked with peroxide, placed upon the stain covered in plastic wrap, and it should be left on the stain long enough to dissolve it before washing it again with warm water. It’s important to dry the tiles once it’s washed, because water can also cause stains. Shoes should be removed before walking across marble tiles, because oils and dirt can cause damage. Sweeping or vacuuming the floor periodically also keeps up its quality. One benefit of marble tile flooring is that only one damaged tile needs to be replaced if the floor is stained, instead of having to replace a hardwood floor or carpet.

How strong is marble for paving?
Marble is strong enough for paving, if it is thick enough. Usually I specify travertine marble in the landscapes I design. When I design a marble paved area that is to be sand-set in a residential setting, the marble has to be at least 1-1/2 inches thick, and ideally 2" thick, otherwise it will be too thin and will crack. I also make sure to purchase high quality marble directly from an importer that provides quality stone. Even if the stone is from the same quarry, some marble is of higher quality than other stone. If the marble is thinner, it must be set onto a reinforced concrete slab and mortar set.
