Customizable Surface Finishes
Move beyond the classic polished look. We offer a spectrum of finishes to achieve your desired texture, grip, and aesthetic.
- Polished: A high-gloss finish that maximizes light reflection and deepens the stone's color intensity. Highlights the intricate veining patterns.
- Honed / Matte: A smooth, satin-sheen surface with minimal reflection. Offers a contemporary look that is less prone to showing fingerprints or water spots.
- Leathered / Brushed: A textured tactile finish that retains the stone's natural color while providing subtle grip. Excellent for countertops.
- Flamed / Bush-Hammered: A rough-textured surface created by intense heat or mechanical pounding. Provides superior slip resistance for outdoor steps or pool decks.
- Tumbled / Antique: Processed to achieve softened edges and a worn patina for an aged rustic appearance ideal for traditional settings.
- Chiseled / Picked: A hand-crafted finish featuring deliberate chisel marks along the edges or face of the stone for dramatic artisanal character on borders or feature walls.
Your Flooring Installation Options Explained
Choosing this marble for flooring involves key decisions that impact budget, aesthetics, and installation complexity. Here is a clear breakdown of three primary methods.
Option 1: Normal Thick Custom Slabs
This approach uses large, uncut slabs (typically 2cm, 3cm thick) fabricated precisely on-site.
Material Cost: Highest. You are purchasing full slabs, which can result in more waste but guarantees seamless veining flow across large areas.
Labor & Installation Cost: Highest. Requires highly skilled masons for handling, precise cutting, polishing, and sealing, leading to longer project timelines.
Option 2: Composited (Laminated) Tiles
These tiles feature a thin veneer (3-6mm) of genuine marble bonded to a stable backing like ceramic or resin.
Material Cost: Most cost-effective. Uses a minimal amount of premium stone, significantly reducing material expense per square foot.
Labor & Installation Cost: Low to Moderate. Installs similarly to standard tiles, generally faster with less specialized labor needed than full slab work.
Option 3: Standard Prefabricated Tiles
Uniformly cut from marble blocks into preset sizes (e.g., 12"x12", 24"x24") with consistent thickness (usually 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch).
Material Cost: Moderate. More affordable than full slabs but typically higher than composited tiles, as you pay for solid stone in efficient formats.
Labor & Installation Cost: Moderate. Straightforward installation for experienced tilers. Labor costs are predictable and moderate—higher than ceramic, lower than custom slab.

Your decision should balance overall project budget, design vision, and room functionality. For breathtaking, seamless entryways or master bathrooms, slabs deliver unmatched grandeur. For a stunning kitchen feature wall on a budget, composited tiles excel beautifully. For durable, elegant bathroom flooring, prefabricated tiles offer an excellent practical balance.
