Before You Choose Marble Tiles for Your Home

Marble is one of the most beautiful stones. They  are usually used as flooring materials or for walls. There are variants of them, but all are derived from metamorphic rocks.

Marble shows class and elegance. They  also give a cozy feel in a home. As much as marbles add beauty and artistic flair to a home, some of their downsides should also be considered. For instance, their tendencies to scratch when stones or even sands are run over them. Likewise, marbles are able to conduct heat away from a body, hence always cold. One might need to put on socks or slippers (which should not be worn outside to avoid sands) when indoors.

Also, one should be ready to attend to spills immediately because marble stains easily. Their hardness is a good thing as it signifies longevity. However, in a home with many breakables, anything knocked over is likely to break.
