Dirt, grit, and sand can damage marble flooring so dust mop the area frequently to clear the area of abrasive materials.<\/p>\n

Here are a few marble types listed below which are favorites of homeowners around the globe.<\/p>\n

3. Black marble<\/h3>\n

Black is the colour most commonly associated with luxury and elegance. As a sober colour, it is recommended only for use in well-lit rooms and wide spaces, such as bathrooms and kitchens. On the other hand, it can also be used in fa\u00e7ades and sometimes also in living rooms.<\/p>\n

4. Carrara marble tile<\/h3>\n

This is generally available in white, gray or blue-gray and commonly used in sculpture and building decor. Its veining is more linear and can either be small and fine or soft and feathery, although it can be dramatic. Since it can have a stark, pristine whiteness, use it in bathrooms to add an airy and clean feel and is most commonly used in residences.<\/p>\n

5. Red Marble<\/h3>\n

The shade adds charm and sensuality to any home, in addition to light and elegance, depending on the tone used. It is mostly used in indoor flooring or as a decorative element. Although perhaps the most common application is outdoors since it is extremely resistant in nature.<\/p>\n

6. Calacatta Marble<\/h3>\n

It is considered as the most luxurious marble type due to its rarity. It is found in the form of tiles, pavers, and slabs. For some homes, it can add a striking look when paired with the stainless steel of a kitchen or the white porcelain of a bathroom.<\/p>\n

It is quite crucial to keep the marbles clean. If maintained properly it can look brand new even after decades.<\/p>\n
