Natural marble floors damage any home and it’s the finish that matters. Choose from three options of polished, honed and honed finishes with essentially unique characteristics.
The polished finish

The polished look deserves the increased popularity it has been blessed with! Polished means rich appearances and easy maintenance. How do you achieve that mirror shine? Diamond blades or other floor polishers will do the job. Adding to that fancy exterior, the polished surface is not as porous and does not require much sealing, unlike other marble finishes.
However, polished surfaces will show scratches and that requires regular polishing. Polished surfaces can also be slippery and should be avoided in wet areas. If your bathroom or hallway must have polished marble tiles, go for small sizes that have more grout. They provide better traction like the dazzling white Greek herringbone marble.

Crema Marfil marble to flatter feelings
The honed finish is achieved by using a rough surface that removes small pieces of stone from the surface. What you get is a soft and smooth feeling. Unlike the polished surface, the polisher does not scratch easily. However, the exposed surface in small fragments makes it more porous and exposed to stains. The Crema Marfil Marble floors with a honed finish in the living room show a serene and welcoming aura.
the fallen finish
Celebrate with Emperador Light marble and Royal Beige marble
How do you create that naturally worn look? Simple! Marble tiles are thrown in a drum along with rocks and sand. The impact makes the marble smooth to the touch. Small chips are created in the marble as part of the tumble appeal. If you are looking for the rustic, traditional and old atmosphere, create it with the magic of lying down.
Soft to the touch, but nevertheless gives a good grip. Like Emperador Light marble, polished fits well around showers and other wet areas like the kitchen.
Consider various factors such as upkeep and appearances before making final decisions. Depending on the location, the preferred finish would create a rich environment. Marble throughout the centuries has been prized for its beauty and grandeur. Get a chance to continue the glorious tradition in muted tones that speak of an eternity of existence deep within the womb of the earth. Marble will never let you down.
