From ancient times until present beautiful fountains, sculptures and majestic buildings have been created with one amazing material – marble. Nothing adds a layer of sophistication like marble.

But today’s marble is not out of reach for the average homeowner. There are many options for working marble into your design. In many sizes, shapes and finishes, marble can add the look you want in your bathroom, kitchen or other areas of your home.

Marble is suitable for so many applications in your home  – walls, table tops, floors, vanity tops and more.  You will also find marble perfect for applications in we areas such as showers and tub decks.

An important consideration when thinking about using marble is that it is highly susceptible to damage from acids such as vinegar and citrus fruits. Dull marks and rings can result from acidic contact on marble, For this reason granite or quartz would be better choices for countertops.

You can choose various finishes for your marble – polished, honed, and antiqued – and the great thing about marble is how well it fits into any area of your home. You can create an understated look of elegance with a casual tone, or you can go with the full sophisticated effect with a more formal tone.
