Are tumbled marble tiles a good flooring choice?

Marble flooring has been a mark of taste and wealth since the Greeks and Romans fell in love with its polished beauty thousands of years ago. Originally available only to the elite, modern techniques have speeded up the cutting process making marble much more accessible for homes of today. The durability of tumbled marble flooring makes it an excellent investment and with so many grades and finishes, there’s a marble for every interior trend or style. Keep reading to learn more about the beauty and benefits of marble flooring for your home.

The glow of tumbled marble tiles

Light-coloured marble flooring has a unique natural translucence, meaning that light can slowly penetrate through the stone, giving a wonderfully elegant glow to your home. No other flooring offers such a range of natural variations. From the beautiful veining and patterns in sought-after Carrara Tumbled Marble Tiles to the chic black tones of  Nero Marquina Marble Tiles, natural marble brings a unique and individual touch to your project.

Stay cool with tumbled marble tiles

Elegant and pearly hues of light-coloured marble such as Carrara tumbled marble tiles, Bardolino Tumbled Marble Tiles, and Rosa Perlino Tumbled Marble Tiles have a natural ability to stay cool, making it an ideal flooring choice for warmer climates or areas with high humidity. There’s nothing like the refreshing feeling of walking on a cool marble floor on a hot summer’s day! That coolness can also help regulate temperatures during hot spells, saving money on excessive air conditioning.

Cold weather an issue? Marble tiles offer high levels of thermal conductivity, making them the perfect choice for homes where underfloor heating is being used, especially with the graphite grey colours and subtle ivory veining of Nero Marquina marble tiles.

The versatility of tumbled marble tiles

Not just for flooring, marble tiles can bring a natural elegance and modern maximalist feel to a range of projects like hallways, dressing rooms and bathrooms. Tiled bath panels are back in vogue and can really tie together a scheme when matched with marble floors and worktops. For example, Verdi Tumbled Marble Tiles are a great choice for a bathroom floor. Its textured feel, moisture-free quality, and dynamic veining patterns provide both a functional and lavish addition to your bathroom. The depth of red clay-like colours found in Verona Rosso Tiles give it an aged finish, the tiles are extremely durable and low-maintenance, suitable for a busy kitchen.

Marble checkered floors

Tumbled marble tile checkerboard floors offer a timeless, elegant look that effortlessly elevates any space. The combination of contrasting light and dark marble tiles creates a stunning visual appeal, making the floor a focal point in the room. Any two tumbled marble tiles can be combined to create striking checkerboard floors. Whether you go for a traditional black and cream or a more unusual red and pink, you can be sure to create a space with enduring design and a true sense of depth and feeling. 

Tumbled marble tiles: a low maintenance choice

Marble stone flooring is simple and easy to care for with a few easy tips. All that most floors need is regular sweeping or dusting, along with occasional mopping using a mild, pH-neutral cleaner.  We  also like to use Lithofin Easy Care for a slightly deeper clean occasionally.

Resilience of tumbled marble tiles

Marble flooring is an incredibly durable stone. It’s also moisture resistant, making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, where drips and spills can be easily wiped away. Perfect for busy family homes!  A marble floor should last a lifetime, if not longer – you only need to think of marble floors you may see in many historic buildings to appreciate how long it can last with such timeless appeal. With the right care and maintenance, your marble flooring can easily last a lifetime.

We hope these benefits have contributed to your decision to go with marble flooring.
