There is a certain uneven beauty in using marble tiles for your home. Aesthetically, marble creates a timeless elegance.

It’s not much wonder people like to have marble tiles in their home. They’re unique, elegant, decorative, have personality, and add charm to any décor. The most interesting thing about marble though is that it is not matched in most instances.

Marble has been and is the "go to" flooring standby with firm roots in the ancient past. It actually boasts of being used not only in art, but in architecture since time immemorial. In fact, most of the truly monumental pieces of great artwork have been rendered in marble and have been with us for centuries.

Indeed, why wouldn’t anyone want to have marble to grace the interior of their home; their private castle where all is right with the world? It’s a material that obviously lasts a long time and stands up to a great deal of wear and tear. Marble tiles add a certain quiet and yet slightly understated beauty to any home, thereby increasing its appeal for potential buyers.

In the flooring industry, marble tiles are normally called hypoallergenic simply because of its dense surface. Any particles, molds, dusts and other antigens don’t cling to marble in the same fashion as they do to your well-worn and much stained carpet. Did you know that marble flooring was actually once the first choice for flooring in hospitals for that very same reason?

In the summer when the heat beats down on us, marble tiles are cool to walk on; adding a refreshing break to our day spent in the hot sun. If you happen to live in a climate that has more days of sun than winter, this may be the perfect choice of flooring for you. Marble flooring is also a terrific way to accent any interior if you don’t want to have the whole room done in marble.

It’s interesting to note that marble flooring even beats out the best grades of granite tiles when it comes to customer popularity. Typically speaking, marble tiles are used for formal master bathrooms; on the wall and floor. This isn’t always the case, and marble is versatile enough to be used for just about any type of application. For example, other residential uses for marble tile include bathroom floors, foyers, hearths for your fireplace, and even windowsills, backsplashes, showers and tub decks.
