ABOUT MARBLE FLOORING

Marble is a metamorphic rock created from the metamorphism of limestone, which is formed largely of calcite. Marble flooring is widely produced, with marble quarries in the USA, China, Poland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Mexico, Poland, Spain, and India. Marble Flooring is usually made from square tiles. These vary in size from 12" to 24" square. Mesh-backed marble flooring patterns are also available, for areas or borders. These comprise small pieces of marble, cut carefully to size and shape, which are arranged in patterns and mounted on a mesh backing.

Marble tiles are available in a wide range of colors, ranging from black and gray through beige and green to white.
