Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized limestone or carbonate minerals, such as calcite and dolomite. When these rocks are exposed to extreme temperature and pressure, the recrystallization process forces each molecule closer together and forms an interlocking carbonate crystal structure. The hidden impurities (such as sand, silt, clay, magnesia, silica or iron oxides) in the original limestone are actually what give marble its exquisite array of colors as well as its characteristic swirls and veins.

Marble is an elegant choice for flooring, wall tiles, bathroom vanities, showers and tub decks, countertops and many more surfaces. Marble is a softer and more porous surface than granite or quartz so it can wear slightly. Part of marble’s charm is its changing luster as it ages, though it can always be re-polished restored to its original shine. Marble typically requires sealant every year as well.

Choosing marble for your home or project will surely add sophistication to your design! Check out some of our current inventory below.
