Marble is a calcium-based stone, so acids like lemon, wine, and some cleaners can etch a dull mark if left to sit. Seal it on install, wipe spills promptly, and use pH-neutral cleaners to keep it looking its best.
Should marble be honed or polished?+
Polished marble is bright and reflective and suits walls and vanities. Honed marble is matte, modern, and grippier, which makes it the safer choice for floors, where it also hides etching and wear better.
Marble Tiles
Marble has been a mark of quality in flooring and walls for centuries, and this is our full range of it. The collection spans classic whites like Carrara and Calacatta, warm beiges, cool grays, and dramatic blacks, in field tiles and mosaics and in honed, polished, and tumbled finishes.
Choosing and caring for marble
Polished marble is bright and reflective and suits walls and vanities, while honed marble is matte, modern, and grippier for floors. Because marble is a calcium-based stone, it can etch from acids, so seal it on install, wipe up spills promptly, and clean with pH-neutral products. Buying from a single lot keeps veining consistent across a large install.
