Marble/Stone
When it comes to flooring, most people do not have an idea of what kind of floor is best suited for their space and more often than naught, pick wrong choices or choices that offset the décor and aesthetic appeal of the space. We recognize that this is a problem for most people and this is why our consultation is usually an in-depth process. We are flooring specialists that take our clients through all the materials they can consider for their space, the pros and cons of using each material, and what to expect with usage.
Marble as A Flooring Material
Marble as a flooring material is a very beautiful and durable option. It easily adds a touch of class to space and complements it nicely. Also, if we are considering it from the financial angle, using marble as a flooring material in a space adds to the market value of that space. Just like with other materials, there are pros and cons of using marble as a flooring material. One major disadvantage of using the material is that it scratches and get stained easily. Scratches and stains like this can reduce the beauty and hence the worth of the material.

Maintenance Tips for Natural Stones
Natural stones are very beautiful when used as flooring materials but they come with a lot of responsibility as regards maintenance. To maintain your natural stone and make sure that it serves you for as long as possible, be careful not to let anything spill on the surface as this can cause stains which reduces the appeal. Also, avoid objects that can cause the surface to have scratches and marks. With natural floors, cleaning them regularly with the use of mild detergent (stay away from harsh ones) is advised. Also, professional cleaning at least once a year is recommended to keep the surface of the floor clean and beautiful.
