Marble Tile

I was in the Home Depot the other day and I found these beautiful marble tiles that were on sale for $1.95/ea. It was such a good deal that it was hard for me to pass up. Even though they were not the right color for my bathroom tiling project, I wanted them. Marble Tiles!!! What a beautiful way to add class to a bathroom.

Unfortunately I don’t have any experience laying marble tiles and from what I can tell you need to have a very level floor in order to get a nice look. The key with marble tiles, or any smooth natural stone tile is that you do not want it to look like tile, you want it to look like a stone face. This is accomplished through perfect height adjustment, close grout lines, and grain matching.

I am a pretty handy DIYer but I am not about to try to make the floors level in a 70 year old house that is built on pillars. I guess I will have to save that dream for another project. I will keep watching for a slate tile that I like to go on sale so that I can redo my kitchen countertops.

Marble, granite and other natural stones are the most popular stone being used now in buildings and in modern homes. Marble and granite especially the black color looks luxurious and elegant. Their natural colors and maintenance as stones are naturally beautiful and lovely. In maintaining the beauty and shine of these stones, it should be polished properly. There is a company that can do the job. They offer complete marble and stone care services. They also do stone restoration. It is better that these stones are handled and cared by the expert.
