The History of Marble
Marble is another metamorphic stone, formed from the oceans. Shells and other calcium-rich debris made of calcite or dolomite formed crystals under intense heat and pressure, deep underground. Marble is found in most mountainous regions that were at some point in time underwater. The top marble-producing countries are Italy, Spain, and China.
Marble has been excavated for centuries. The Carrara quarry in Carrara, Italy is among the oldest quarries on Earth that are still in production. Michelangelo’s statue of David, carved in the early 1500s was chiseled from Carrara marble, for example. Bhandari Marble World today sells exquisite marble from the exact same quarry in Carrara, Italy. Calcutta Gold is another popular marble.
Options for Flooring
Gauged/uncaused: At the time it is extracted, the slate is a rough, broken material like you would expect from any rock you find on the ground. When refined into tiles, natural stone generally goes through a process where the material is gauged, which refers to flattening the back in order to help the tileset into the mortar during installation. If the back is not flattened then both sides will be rough and bumpy. Known as uncaused slate, these materials are usually reserved for outdoor applications where they can be sunk into the ground for stepping stones.
Crafted: After being sliced into tiles slate is still naturally going to be bumpy and broken. In many cases, this is desirable, as it makes the material feel more rugged and earthy. When the surface is left un-refined it is called cleft, although the term “natural” is also often used to refer to it looking more like it would in its untouched mountain-born state. Crafted slate has great traction, even when wet, but if the ridges are too extreme it can be uncomfortable to walk on barefoot.
Honed: In some cases, slate tiles will be polished to the point where they have perfectly smooth surfaces. This process dulls both the dimensionality and the colors in the stone, though the material does retain the same basic hues. When you touch the face of a honed piece of slate, you will feel that it still has some traction, though less than crafted floors will. Another effect of honing is that tiles will be more likely to show stains, and will be easier to scratch.
Honed Finish
Polished: This is a process where the tile is refined to the point that it actually glistens like marble. Very few slates have the textural temperament to achieve a polished finish, and those that do are easy to scratch and damage. However, the look can be simulated with honed tiles, through the application of multiple coats of seal and finish. Some special wax treatments can also be used to achieve the necessary glowing appearance.
Colors:
Solid: These tiles are predominantly one color all the way through. The consistency of hue, and tone, across a single tile and across tile lots can vary to differing degrees in different types of slate. Floors made from solid-colored stone materials tend to be more formal and subdued. However, the unity of appearance does make it easier to see dirt, and small stains or scratches will be more visible.
Multicolor: Many slates will have multiple colors within their surface. These can be matched hues, or they can be wildly contrasting, depending on the type of material. When dealing with multi-colored stones you don’t get the uniformity of solid color pieces, but the floors tend to be more eye-catching and exciting. There are numerous multi-colored slate lines on the market, but the veins of material do tend to vary over
Marble
Marble was used for building tombs, temples, and palaces. For a time, it was considered as Royal Stone. It is, however, now used in hotels and homes too.
