The Benefits of Marble Tiles:

Durability

With a long history of use as flooring, marble tiles are still extremely durable. Forged by geological processes, marble’s sedimentary crystalline structure means its capable of withstanding heavy footfall when used as a floor tile. Tiles sizes being generally smaller than large slabs of stone are also less prone to cracking under high pressure or impact.

Marble’s composition also means that even after years of use, tiles will display the same veining patterns. This is unlike porcelain and ceramic look-a-like marble, which is prone to fading and deterioration.

Beauty and Style

Marble tiles are incomparable in terms of beauty and style, offering authentic organic patterning and colours.

Due to its natural formation and scarcity, each marble tile is unique and can be used to introduce charm, character, and a touch of luxury. From brecciated marbles to minimalist, clean white stone, there’s a marble tile for all settings.

Sleek-looking marble tiles can be installed to give a seamless, chic effect to a kitchen or living space, whereas tiles with detailed veining can give a sense of luxury.

Resale Value

Incorporating marble into your home can add up to 10% to its value. People consider marble to be one of the finest design materials in the world due to its rarity and aesthetic desirability. Adding marble tiles is one of the easiest ways to introduce the material and can be considered a sound investment.

Versatility

Marble tiles are extremely versatile and can be installed as flooring and a wall surface. Cut to a smaller size, tiles can be placed and recut to accommodate any space with only basic power tools needed. With a huge variety of colours available, marble tiles are also able to match existing cabinetry, benchtops, and furniture.

Designing with Marble Tiles:

Choosing the Right Type of Marble Tile

All marble has a degree of porosity so sealing tiles after installation helps to ensure contaminants will  not enter the deep structure of the stone. Some of the main considerations when choosing a stone is the type of marble, thickness of the tiles appropriate for the chosen tile size and surface finish.

As a tile, marble may have to bear the weight of refrigerators, appliances, and furniture. Marble features a sedimentary layer of limestone fused and crystallised that makes it extremely difficult to shatter or crack, but brecciated marbles may encounter issues if natural faults are present and the tiles are too thin for the environment..

Colour and Veining

Marble tiles come in a wide range of colours with a variety of veining densities. Dense veining will give a strong impression but can be difficult to match patterns in tiled form unless very consistent material is chosen.

For a modern look, lightly veined white marbles are a popular choice. Recent trends have also seen darker, grey tiled marble used to accent lighter decor.

If a more lavish style is desired, consider tiles with stronger colour tones. Marble can even be found in pinks, reds, greens, and gold. These also work well alongside natural materials such as wood or copper fittings.

Choosing the Right Marble Finish

Tiles can be finished to your own requirement.

Glossy, polished tiles give a bright surface that will reflect light back into a room. Honed tiles have a softer glow and a more natural appearance. For enhanced texture and grip, consider a leather finish which will enhance the natural grain of the marble and add a weathered look, ideal for classic, rustic decor.

Integrating Marble Tiles into Your Home Design

Consider where you will be installing marble tiles and whether additional cutting will be required. It’s also important to plan out any bookmatching or potential pattern issues ahead of time.

Typical marble tile sizes are 600x300mm, 600x600mm, and oblong 600x1200mm. Calculate the square meterage of the surface you wish to tile and divide by the area of your selected tile.

For example, if you’re covering a 3×3 metre space with 600x600mm tiles:

  1. 3000x3000mm = 9m2
  2. 600x600mm = 0.36m2
  3. 9 / 0.36 = 25
  4. 25 + 10% = 28 tiles

It’s wise to include 10% wastage in your calculations for unforeseen circumstances.
