Marble Tiles: Affordable Luxury with Ceramic Durability | Buy Now

One of the most luxurious features of any building has to be polished marble floors, achieved by diamond grinding followed by the application of a resin-based gloss finish. This process makes the stone’s natural veining and light propagation characteristics more pronounced, giving an expansive, stunning feel to the polished floors of elegant entryways and hotel lobbies. Polished floors are prone to regular maintenance, which includes dust mopping every week to eliminate abrasive grit that may result in scratches, monthly cleaning using pH-neutral solutions, and professional re-polishing once a year to restore the shine. While polished surfaces may appear stunning, they are prone to etching from acidic spills, so prompt cleanup, regular sealing (every 6-12 months), and in some cases guarded surfaces for high-traffic zones where a hallmarked finish may be applied is recommended to maintain elegance and functionality. Calacatta Gold or Statuario marble gets its sheen from horizontal surfaces and requires diligent upkeep for high-traffic areas.
