Marble is not only the most beautiful surfacing material but also costly.
Hence, to make sure that your hard-earned money is not being spent on substandard quality marble, you would need to be mindful of a few facts while you are shopping marble for floors of your home.
Some of those facts are mentioned in the sections below –

The right variety can do wonders!

As per the opinion of a spokesperson for Classic Marble – one of the leading marble exporters in India, there are countless variants of marble, and choosing the right one is an important decision.
For instance, the Patagonia variant of flooring marble from the 9 th avenue collection of the company is capable of making the most out of natural light that seeps into a home thus keeping the owners of the home from switching on any artificial light.

The marble slabs should be free from any cracks or imperfections

Always purchase marble slabs from an Italian marble manufacturer that has been in the marble selling business for a while. It is one of the many ways you can make sure that the marble slabs that will be supplied to you will be free from any cracks and related imperfections – natural or otherwise.

Avoid artificially coloured marble slabs

Always avoid buying artificially coloured marble slabs no matter how hard one tries to keep them in their prime, artificially coloured marble slabs lose their aesthetic appeal after a short while.

The right slab thickness matters

You must choose marble slabs with just the right thickness based on the location where they will be installed.
For instance, a thin marble slab honed to perfection will suit well for the bathroom whereas a polished and thick marble slab is perfect for your hallway and living room as these are the places in your home that get the maximum foot traffic.

Proper installation is a necessity

Improper installation of the marble slabs will reduce the operational life of the marble slabs in your home by several folds. It will also lead to premature cracking due to the uneven distribution of the marble slab’s weight.

Hence, make sure that the supplier you have chosen has skilled installation teams under its payroll.

Make sure that the marble slabs installed are polished

Marble is a natural stone hence; it contains microscopic pores on its surfaces. This is the reason why it can get stained easily.
The best solution to this is to make sure that the marble surfaces in your kitchen, bathroom, and dining rooms are honed, and not polished. For marble surfaces in other rooms across your home, you can opt for professional-grade polishing. This will not only keep the marble looking good for years to come but will also increase its operational life by many folds.
