Uses of marble
The advantages of marble that make it one of the best choices for your home.
Marble is versatile. It is considered one of the most beautiful natural stones, formed by the metamorphism of sedimentary rocks. Marble contains minerals such as sand, clay, silt, graphite, magnesium silicate or iron oxide. Among other things, these affect its final look and colour.
There are many types of marble. Below you will get an idea of the range of tones only marble can have. Over time, nature has given marble many vein patterns, and you should not overlook them if you are buying for the first time. These veins and their colour are what give marble its character. Its veining gives marble a special, recognisable and one-of-a-kind look.
Laying marble and other natural stone takes years of experience, so leave it to the professionals
Every natural stone project is different. To get the result you want, you need to know the material and predict how it will behave once it is installed. At Marnit we have experts who can handle the challenges of any project involving natural stone. That is why our team advises the following:
1. Quality
Using quality material is key, because the chosen natural stone must have no flaws or irregularities that could damage the stone. You need a supplier who puts the quality of the stone first, before other factors such as price cuts and special offers.
2. Suitable for every home
Natural stone as a building material contains no substances or components that are harmful to health or pollute the environment. It is completely safe to use, it does not burn, and it releases no substances that would be dangerous to health in a fire. On top of that, natural stone needs no auxiliary or secondary substances before use, such as coatings that are harmful to the environment or dangerous.
Guidelines
An important factor when installing marble and other natural stone on floors and walls is to follow the guidelines strictly.
• Use the right adhesive for the material.
• Take into account the place where the natural stone will be installed.
• Safety measures, such as applying adhesive to both the surface and the back of each piece.
• Correct levelling.
• Waterproofing in wet areas.
We need to take all these factors into account if we want to avoid unnecessary problems.
Uses of marble
Not every natural stone suits every surface. Marble, for example, can work very well on the floors and walls of a living room or dining room, but it is not a suitable choice for a kitchen worktop. There, resistance to stains and impact is an important requirement. This also matters when choosing natural stone for floors, because you need to pay particular attention to how much foot traffic the material will carry. Good taste and good looks are not enough here.
So it is key to have the right information and the right people, who know natural stone and how to handle it properly, like our team.
