Kitchen counters can indeed be made from marble tiles. Marble is a porous natural stone, hence it can be easily stained and etched from acidic materials. Its look is advised to be preserved by regular sealing and appropriate maintenance. Think about engineered quartz surfaces that resemble marble for a low-maintenance, more lasting choice.

Marble tiles should be kept beautiful by consistent cleaning with a pH-neutral solution and a soft cloth. Steer clear of abrasive or acidic cleaners since they could ruin the surface. Periodically sealing marble tiles will help to guard against moisture and stains.

Marble tiles can indeed resist heavy traffic and are robust. But foot traffic—which many believe adds to their appeal—may cause a patina over time. Good sealing and regular care might assist to maintain their look.

While a polished surface on marble tiles enhances the color and veining of the stone, it can be more slippery when wet and is shiny and reflecting. With less slipperiness and improved resistance to scratches, a matte, less reflecting coating gives a more subdued appeal. The intended functional and aesthetic application determines which of the two to use.

Yes, from traditional whites and creams to deep greens and black, marble tiles come in a great spectrum of hues and veining patterns.
