Marble is a natural stone. When properly finished it can be made into a gorgeous looking flooring. Marble is one of the most sophisticated and luxurious flooring material. When installed in a home or work place it can add a whole new element of class and beauty. There is various types of marble, that can bring different looks to any room where it is present. Including hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, foyers and many more. There is also thousands of marble types in nearly ever colour imaginable. Available on the market to buy with hues in; black, brown, green, red, white and even pink, there’s no doubt homeowners can find the right type, colour and finish Marble for their personal home/work environment. Each slab of stone has its very own unique, vein patterns and streaks of colour. Depending on the type of Marble it’s classified in to, the colour tones will vary stone to stone.

The Three Main Classifications Of Marble Are:

Dolomite: Contains more than 40% magnesium carbonate. Magnesium: Contains between 5% and 40% magnesium. Calcite: Contains less than 5% magnesium carbonate.

Aside from these classifications, Marble comes in endless colours and patterns. 

Here Are Just A Few More Of The Hundreds Of Marble Types:

Breccia: Breccia marble can vary stone to stone, and it tends to be a warmer and darker marble.  Deep browns and reds are common with Breccia and it looks great as a floor or counter-top. Carrara Marble: This is the classic marble that you see in Greek and Roman statues or fountains. It is a pure white Marble and can maintain a pristine look, depending on the stone. It is also one of the lightest marbles available for flooring. Calacatta: Calacatta marble is often confused with Carrara, and while they are similar, they have very different characteristics. Both have similar vein patterns, but depending on the stone, Calacatta is typically bolder and has more noticeable lines. It is also warmer in hue and can bring a hint of drama to any room. Limestone: Believe it or not, Limestone is a type of marble, and a very popular one at that. A naturally occurring stone, limestone is often tan or beige and is visibly porous. This is a great option for bathrooms, but should be placed strategically in a home. Its porous and soft nature makes it susceptible to damage in high-traffic areas. However, not all marble floors have to actually be 100% Marble. A large quantity of home owners achieve a the same desired look by using Cultured Marble. Cultured Marble is a mix of Marble dust and cement. It looks and feels very similar to Marble. The only real way of telling the two apart, it that when it is Cultured Marble there are no veins and streaks of colour, that are so well related to Marble. While this is a great option for some, the uniqueness of real Marble is what makes it a great choice when decorating a home or work place. Aside from the different types of Marble, there are three main ways to finish it and achieve different looks.

The Three Different Marble Finishes:

Polished Marble:  We typically see this finish in big hallways and grand foyers. It is shiny and slick and can even be polished to the point of reflection. Honed Marble: This type of Marble is polished, but not to the extent of polished Marble. It has a matte-like finish and does not reflect as much light. However it is still smooth and prevents slipping. Sand Marble:  Sand Marble stones are a mixture of Sand and Marble and create an antique, rustic feel in any room.

So, now you have all the information so that you can chose your favourite type, style and finish of Marble.

Here Are A Few Things To Know About Marble Flooring:

Due to being a natural stone, Marble is well known for its porous surface. So you can keep it looking its best, it is vital to have your Marble surfaces sealed to begin with. Then every six to twelve months have it stripped and re-sealed. Polished Marble can be very slick, and even more so when wet. So while it is a great choice for bathrooms and kitchens, rugs and bath mats should be put in place. This is to prevent dangerous slipping hazards in these locations. Marble tiles can be difficult to match, due to their unique vein patterns. The best way to make sure the tiles match together is to lay out of the flooring before it’s permanently installed. All tiles should come from the same stone to keep the floor consistent. Marble acts a base, so if anything acidic were to come into contact with it, there will be a chemical reaction. Leaving spills to sit for too long and you can do irreversible damage to your marble floors. Spills like orange juice, harsh cleaners, or any other acidic liquids need to be cleaned up immediately.

Marble History And Composition:

Marble is a metamorphosed Limestone composition. This it means started out as Limestone which over many, many years in the earth’s crust has recrystallized, due to heat and pressure etc. The original carbonate minerals and the fossils become coarse grains of calcite. Marble comes in lots of different colours, some more common than others. The colour of the Marble is determined by it’s mineral composition, when it is formed. This in turn is chosen by what impurities are present in the Limestone during the crystallization process. Colours are lots of different ones, from the well known pure white calcite varieties. To less known varieties containing hematite which are reddish. Marble has a hardness rating of 2.5 – 5 on MOH’s scale. It is distinguished from other polished natural stone by it’s heavy veins and abundant graininess. The three categories it can be classified into are Dolomite, Magnesium or Calcite depending on the quantities of these minerals that it contains of course.

Marble Uses:

• Building stone, exterior cladding & flooring: Usually coloured blocks or slabs.
• Statuary & carving: Usually pure calcite Marble which is translucent.
• Soap abrasives: Crushed or finely ground Marble. Often moulded into small soap abrasives and foot scrubs.
