Marble is a long-lasting option when it comes to flooring. The installation of marble tile is very similar to that of ceramic tile, although a wet saw should be used for cutting the tiles to size.
Marble is formed when limestone deep in the ground has been changed over long periods of time into a hard composition of crystals. This process is called recrystallization.
Marble flooring is installed by gluing the tiles closely together on the floor with the proper adhesive. Grout lines are either very thin or marble tiles are placed up against one another creating no need for grout at all.
