Use of marble

And how could it not be missing, where and how can we use marble. Marble is the most suitable decorative stone to be used on walls, as it is lighter than granite. Care is recommended when using this stone in wet areas, as marble is a porous rock, it is easier to absorb liquids.

It is also widely used as flooring and countertops. When used as a floor, it is recommended that it be in a low flow area. The biggest difference between marble and such stones is price and use. Check out the advantages and disadvantages of using marble.

Advantages and disadvantages of marble
One of the advantages of marble has already been mentioned, it is lighter than granite, which allows its use on the wall. But because it is lighter than granite, its use as a floor is limited to areas with a small flow of people, such as residential areas. The beauty and the designs made by the grooves, makes marble a very special stone.

When compared to quartz and silestone, marble has a lower value, which makes it more attractive. However, when compared to granite, it has greater value, perhaps that is why there is competition between the two decorative stones. 

What is the best use of marble?
Undoubtedly the best use of marble is as a floor. A marble covering is considered one of the most elegant and sophisticated that anyone can use. A mark of marble is that when it is well installed, there are no marks between the stone's plates, guaranteeing an even floor. As most marble stones have light and neutral colors, the air of sophistication is guaranteed.
