Being one of the most beautiful stones available on the market today, marble is largely used in all types of applications. From luxurious and high-end homes and businesses to the regular consumer simply wanting to add a touch of sophistication into his home that only marble can provide.

Known as a non-foliated metamorphic rock, marble does not show any layering and has actually transformed from another material through pressure or heat over time. In the Mohs scale, which determines the hardness of a material where diamond has a rating of 10, marble ranges between 1 and 4.

Because it has the ability to attain a luxurious polish, marble can have a very smooth surface that gleams with a lustrous shine. Its appealing effect is attributed to its slight translucent quality that allows light to penetrate its surface and create a glowing reflection. When polished the natural colors of marble are enhanced and its elegant natural stone qualities more defined.

Recognized as a relative of limestone, also a natural material, marble requires special care because it’s prone to staining and scratching and because of its high value. Because of its porous nature, marble absorbs oils and liquids that can leave stains and unwanted marks under the surface that are difficulty to remove.

Sauces, soft drinks, fruit juices, and other acidic substances around the house coming into contact with marble can etch the stone in an instant or leave a permanent stain on your marble floor or wall.
