Marble Tiles
Marble is a metamorphic, crystalline rock formed by the intrusion of an igneous rock into a limestone stone mass. The heat and pressure of such an event alters the original molecular structure of the calcite present in the limestone and causes re-crystalization of the calcite and the formation of new minerals. The result is marble with the much appreciated characteristics of heavy veining and wide range of colors. Marble surfaces take a high polish, but are not very hard and scratch easily. Its natural composition makes marble an easy target for acids normally found in food and cleaning products. The acids etch the marble surface, damaging the polished finish. Marble is a porous stone and requires preventative sealing with silicone based impregnators. With proper maintenance, such as using neutral products, marble performs extremely well, though it is not recommended for use in kitchens.

Compound Tiles
marble ceramic tile. It is an innovation. Marble ceramic tile combines two advantages together, i.e., natural elegancy of marble tile and lighter weight, smaller thickness of ceramic tile. Strength and durability of regular marble tiles are significantly weakened when cutting thin, especially for the marble with heavy veining. However, certain specific applications like marble wall require thin tiles. Marble ceramic tile fits right in the scenario. Marble ceramic tiles are made by glue thin layer of marble skins (~3mm) onto 9cm ceramic backing, see diagram above. All marble available for regular tiling can be used to make marble ceramic tile. Certain types of natural marble, such as Calcutta gold, statuary white and Thassos, are extremely expensive. The marble ceramic tile technique virtually makes them affordable. The ceramic backing can also be replaced by wood to produce "marble wood tiles". Contact us for more information about this innovative tiling technology.
