Marble flooring is a beautiful flooring surface for many situations. This article will look at the various things you should consider if you plan to install this type of flooring surface in your home.

Marble Slabs

Slabs of marble are cut from the blocks directly from the quarry. Slabs come in standard thickness of 2 cm (3/4') and 3 cm (1 ¼'), although thicker slabs are also available. Slabs are provided in a range of finishes: Sawn (un-polished), Honed, Polished, Brushed, etc.


Many businesses and churches will install marble flooring in their hallways and entrances as it creates a very nice and stylish tone to the entrance and facility. You can mix and match colors and texture to give a room just the look you are after. Some businesses will even have their logo cut and placed in marble flooring to add class.


If you are considering marble flooring you will want to think about the cost involved. You will most likely want to have this type of flooring professionally installed as it can be rather difficult to work with.
