The marble at home
Who has to renovate his own house can choose a great range of materials, that be be laid also on the existing floor: fitted carpet, parquet, resined floors, cork, tiles and marble.
Marble Flooring
Marble is les and less used in houses, due to the cost of the material and of skilled labour and to the spread of cheaper and easier flooring.
Marble has, doubtless, unlimited lifetime, just avoid abrasions and scrapes.
Once dressed and polished (one month after having been laid), just keep it cleaned and polished, using the product available on the market.
Nowadays, you can find also thin marble slabs, whose surface has been pre-polished, so ready to lay on the floor and on the walls.
Dressing and polishing are done at the beginning, so there will be less labour and the price reduces.
The slabs, 40 x 20 cm, are glued on all floors with a high seal, using different kinds of marble: from the cheapest ones such us Chiampo and Trani, to the good ones as Breccia Aurora and Giallo di Siena, to the most estemeed such us Fior di Pesco Carnico, Bianco Statuario, Verde Tigrato or Verde Alpi.
More expensive than marble is the granite, last for ever, it doesn’t scrape, soak, it doesn’t need to be polished, once dressed.
Many are the other solutions offered by the market, you have just to choose!
