Natural Marble Tile: Composition and Properties

Authentic marble stone tile is primarily composed of calcite. It also contains impurities such as iron oxides, graphite, and other elements. These create the beautiful, unique natural pattern of gray veining. The higher the concentration of impurities, the brighter and more pronounced the pattern.

Marble stone tile is a beautiful and practical surface material. It can transform an interior and add a touch of elegance. It is used for:

• floors;
• shower areas;
• spas and saunas;
• kitchen backsplashes;
• countertops;
• stairs.

Polished marble tile has a striking mirror-like surface. This material is ideal for walls, especially in spacious rooms. In bright natural light, polished marble tile fully reveals the beauty of its natural pattern.

Only matte marble stone tile is suitable for flooring. Its matte surface makes it safer to walk on.
