Beautiful marble flooring started its journey into our homes as limestone. Millions of years of metamorphosis, intense heat and pressure, produced a dense variegated stone that can be polished to a high shine. Marble is now mined throughout the world and is highly prized as a natural product for counter tops and flooring. Polished marble reflects light to make rooms seem more spacious while offering a touch of elegance.
Yet for such an upscale material, marble is also durable and easy-care. You will find it often installed in “wet” environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms, where frequent water splashes can be simply wiped away without causing damage. So if you are thinking about incorporating this fabulous flooring into your home design, read on to learn what types of marble are available, how to choose the best one for your budget, and glean some DIY tips should you opt to tackle installation yourself.
