Which is better for flooring marble or granite?
Posted by Visitor
Reply to this question
1ReplyAlthough we might think of marble as the stereotypically superior flooring material, when it comes to durability, granite is actually more durable! Because marble is more porous and softer than granite, keep it to your rarely used, formal areas, while durable, functional granite can be used nearly anywhere in your home!

1ReplyDry the marble top with a chamois cloth. Buff it to a shine by rubbing the entire surface with the cloth in small circles.

Does marble crack in cold weather?
Posted by Visitor
Reply to this question
1ReplyMarble Tiles can crack if they're exposed to very cold temperatures. While marble typically holds up well against cold temperatures, moisture is an issue for this porous stone. For example, if snow covers a marble slab for a long time, the moisture may eventually make its way into the stone and cause it to crack.
